VAWT??
Ahh a VAWT is a vertical axis wind turbine. I cant wait to go check this out! It would be great if the city looked at the land around city airport, as that would be a great place to have a wind farm in the city!
Recycling bottle caps
Good program... but why can't we or why don't we plastic bottle caps?
Often they are made from Plastic #5 which is made from Polypropylene. This material has to be treated differently during melting but that does not mean they can not be recycled.
NPR did a small piece on this with Sierra magazine's Josie Garthwaite that explains this topic a bit more in depth.
FOOD MATTERS..the Movie
CONGRATULATIONS to the Detroit Evolution Lab!!
Gregg and Angela pulled off a spectacular event!!!! "Food Matters" was a huge success! It played last night at Shed 2 in Eastern Market!!
And the fact that Eastern Market wants to do events like this once a month! If on the first night they can bring in a crowd like that, I counted over 165 people, all in lawn chairs, blankets, sitting on the ground or standing the whole time to share that powerful movie, then I look forward to what future events can do!! Shed number 2 is about to host a movement!
Food Matters is a movie about serious issues I all a lot it...I am one of the many in the choir...BUT if people in that crowd didn't know it and go out and spread it ...more and more and more..it will become infectious...in the really good way!!!
You too can spread the word....and knowledge!!
I know I plan to watch it many more times....because even though I 'get it' I couldn't even take in all the facts and numbers and was so excited to be overwhelmed by some of the data and want to take notes next time to do further research!!!
Nutritional Therapy is something I assume all of us on this list do....I have on and off since 1991 when my father got lung cancer...I pumped that man full of so much carrot juice he was tinted orange ( and no I am Not joking!) and with vitamins, everyone thought I was crazy but the medical profession won out and chemo and cancer took it course.
Sure that is sad but I also received a gift from that, from my father...(and not his last!) and what I learned was to be my own care taker so I poured over books and books and books (this was before the internet) and I have not stopped. Instead i have become knowledgeable in my taking care of ME and I had to as I lost my health insurance after my father died, which by the way back then only 11 million of us did not have it, now over 44 million do not!
With or without insurance I still strongly believe we need to take the drivers seat in taking care of ourselves and Education not medicine is how I have learned to do that!
Now seeing the motion and evolution of others doing this on such a large scale makes me so happy that this is more then just a fad or an 'underground hippy movement'. I had no choice I had to learn to eat to stay healthy with my hypoglycemia and to prevent diseases to help any ailments. I went 14 years without insurance until I got a job i am at the Detroit News.
So I took responsibility for my health...and you can too and likely are...and though I need to learn more I am not burdened by that I am encouraged! I even see raw coming more and more into my life..I see the removal of cheese... and oh how i love cheese.
But over the years I have made many lifestyle changes in my diet and all of them have been for the betterment of ME, so how can that be a bad thing?
You are what you eat! We've been told that since we were children. This documentary really brings this point home with some interesting facts and research.
Go watch it!
