This is a great website to research Bills etc. This particular Bill is a bill to protect farmers from large biotech companies like Monsanto. A similar Bill has been put forward 2 additional times but all three have not made it past committee review.

Too many Bills have been put forward by too many states to ban or label GE or GMO products, seeds, plants or animals. Why is our government not representing the people and supporting big businesses like Monsanto? I helped write the referendum in Mendocino County banning GMO crops from being grown but Monsanto is winning across our country. Research this topic, it is vital for our sustainability ! Salmon is now the next target!

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 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.

Skitch is a simple interface tool that you can download and use for Free. It acts as a screen capture tool that pops up like a window. But there's more! You can paint, add text, draw shapes and save the file type from everything from a TIFF to a GIF. Really useful for creating site plans, where I need an overhead photo of the site and can add in the locations of all the electrical points of interest for the utility to review. Get your point across with fewer words using annotation, shapes and sketches, so that your ideas become reality faster.

This conference went into how we can sequester carbon from the atmosphere into the ground by using holistic land management. Even if we cut emissions CO2 still needs to be removed from the atmosphere. These are the videos from the conference.
