    This is a wonderful resource for researching consumer products. If you want to know the safest sunscreen, shampoo, toothpaste, make-up, etc. Take a peek at the cosmetics guide. They also have links to pesticides in produce and GMO's. I link the cosmetic guide to my phone so that when I am shopping for safe products for my family, I can pull up a product's rating while I am at the store.

    I think this non-profit is pretty cool. They have drastically improved the lives of African women who used to risk their lives and waste many days looking for firewood or burning feces to cook, and so has the Aid For Africa, http://www.aidforafrica.org/member-charities/solar-cookers-international/ Solar cookers could also be built into the side of a home and used indoors! I am thinking of maybe getting or building one for my home to reduce our use of propane. We are mainly solar-powered but we have a gas range and a back up generator that run on propane and I really dislike that. This solar cooker could really help us out though there is a lot that it can't do. I still think it is interesting and worth looking into. Perhaps it is something that more of us could use.

What is Trench Composting? - 2 views

shared by markhutchins on 31 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • Trench composting is very simple. You dig a trench (we're using the word “trench” loosely here; it doesn't matter what shape your hole is) approximately twelve inches deep, add roughly four to six inches of compostable materials, such as kitchen scraps, spent garden plants, prunings, thinnings, and weeds, and bury it with the soil you dug out of the trench.

    Here is an article on trench composting I thought the group might enjoy. My wife and I have reduced our waste to about one small kitchen bag a week by composting our kitchen scraps.

    Hi. That is a great idea. Saves the plant from drying out. I will do that for my garden. Funny I was reading about Africa a remote area where this happen. A university sent someone out here to help solve a issue for these people to have some kind of heat source like gas. Long story short you take all the food scraps throw them into a blender and dump in in a 50 gallon drum. Does this for a bout a week. Have another 50 gallon drum ready empty. This guy ran a gas line off the barrels into the house. It produce enough methane to cook and heat the house as long you keep dumping scraps into the barrel.

    I absolutely love the idea of the electric motorcycle and truly see it as the way of the future given the ever growing amount of vehicles on the road as well as the continuous increase in fossil fuels. As much as I love my little Harley Sportster, I would trade it for an electric version in a second.

    This is another direct access site for finding farms and markets in your area. I like that they also designate which farms you can buy products from online.

    I utilized this program in my design work at Northeast Solar. What I really like about this application is 1. It's free and 2. You can share you Templates with the world. Oh, and 3. You have access to all the Free Templates from the World! Some great person shared a template (Template = a design package including tools, data, configurations, that you can utilize in the sketch up world) that I can use in unison with Google Earth, to design, plan, measure, size, and then show, what Solar electric (PV) opportunity they have for their building. It was really useful. SketchUp is 3D modeling software that's easy to learn and incredibly fun to use. Download SketchUp today for free and get started drawing in 3D.

    I can't remember names. With this "rich" data ad on, I have more trigger points to access and jog my memory with. Remembering people is hard. Evernote Hello makes it easy by creating a rich, browsable history of individuals, encounters and shared experiences.

    23andMe is the first and only genetic service available directly to you that includes reports that meet FDA standards. With this kit, genome sequencing has become mainstream. Personally, I find it very disturbing. Though useful in the treatment of disease, I have no desire at the age of 22.5 to see my "predications" to certain ailments. These kits can be hazardous to the paranoid's mental health. I leave you all to make a decision about this type of product yourself

    You can also set up a profile so that others can see what you're doing with your account. Once you have everything set up, all you need to do is start promoting your account. You can do this by sharing your link with friends and family or by posting it on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. When people click on your link and sign up for an account, they'll be able to use your referral code when they make their first purchase. And that's it! You'll earn cash back every time someone uses your referral code when they buy something from CashApp.

    There are a few things you need in order to get a verified CashApp account. First, you'll need to provide your full name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. You'll also need to link your CashApp account to a bank account or debit card. Once you have all of this information entered into the system, you'll be able to request verification. You may be asked to verify your identity by providing a photo ID. Once you've been verified, a green check mark will appear next to your name on the CashApp home screen.
