We have had tomatoes, corn, squash, sugar snap peas, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes. My dad recently bought a rain barrel and has used that to water his garden some. Years ago...

A climate based decision at last

There is probably going to be a hell of a noise following Senator Penny Wong's statement that the South Australian Wet Lands cannot be saved but I, for one, am pleased to see some decisions being made at last. To be able to get the water right down to the Wet Lands is a huge task that would involve...

Of Genetically Modified Organisms

It may well be because of my background in plant genetics. But every time I hear the words “GM food”, I think, as many of the people I know do, of genetically modified crops such as tomato, corn, potato, soy, rice, coffee, etc. We do look at boxed food and start to wonder how much of it is made...

go green, buy my product

It baffles me that so many people fall for the hypocricy and stupidity that is marketing and commercials. They even seemed to have dumbed down the level of stupidity in them to better suit the people. Today I overheard a commercial that really grinds my gears for more than one reason. " Going green...

Quote of the day

"While there’s a chance that we’ll act against global warming only to find that the danger was overstated, there’s also a chance that we’ll fail to act only to find that the results of inaction were catastrophic. Which risk would you rather run?" –Paul Krugman (source)

What I've Been Reading Lately

I realized I hadn't posted my monthly reads, which is just as well. There wasn't too much new and interesting for a while. For those last months of work, I was just into my 'comfort reads' - some Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. (Though, interestingly enough, I realize I would not list Fantasy as...

More paper waste that could be eliminated.

As a follow up to my last post about Electric Dryers vs Paper towels use, I photographed a typical wasteful toilet that also offers toilet paper when the towels are exhausted. Worse yet, this is a brand new bldg that apparently didn't do any cost study. The picture on the right is of tonight's...

The tale of last tuna

I do love fishes, especially cod and tuna. But from now on, I have decided not to eat as many as I was because I read an article about fishmen claims they're hard to find fish and waters are compelling. Moreover, at current rates, the Mediterranean bluefin will soon be commercially extinct....

Electric Hand Dryers vs. Paper Towels

We Can Solve It .org

I have always been the type of person to let other people take on activism. I am really too lazy to bother with most things, and things that I might be interested in getting involved in seem like problems that are too big for me to have any effect on so again, I don't bother. But the ads for Gore's...
