Spotting Hidden Sugars and Artificial Sweeteners | Care2 Healthy Living.

What do you know about sugar? Is it healthy or do we need to watch the amount of sugar we ingest? Are artificial sugars OK? What does the scientific / medical research say?

A Prescription For Nature | National Parks Conservation Association

A Prescription For Nature | National Parks Conservation Association.

What can I say? I feel regenerated when I experience nature outdoors. When I am in The Bahamas I can stand by the shore and feel the breeze blowing in my face and wonder how far did this breath of air come to blow in my face? I can look up at night and see light from a million stars and wonder will I ever experience another world? What do get out of being in the outdoors?

How do bitcoins fit in the sustainable world?

One they are not made of a resource so that don’t have any ‘direct’ natural cost of externals.

Secondly, they can and hopefully will be accepted in a way that promotes community and sharing instead of greed and stratification.

Thinking about this makes my head hurt. I know it has to be done but I have to take my time. This attitude about nature and the environment has been so ingrained in me that I have to pick through my expectations and assumptions. Is this a valuable exercise for you?

Gardening: Nourishing the Environment and the Soul |

Gardening: Nourishing the Environment and the Soul |.

I live in South Florida so we have two growing seasons. I just turned my 4×8 raised bed over and mixed in some compost. I covered the bed with a bunch of pine needles which do a fairly good job of keeping back the weeds. I then promptly left town to manage the business my father left my brother and me in Exuma, Bahamas for a week. When I get back I am going to start some seeds so by the time they are ready the soil should be in better condition than it was last year. Our soil is very sandy here so you really need to keep building it up year after year. Comments, suggestions, feedback welcome.
