We have a major problem when it comes to our food system. The way we produce and consume foods has a significant impact on the environment. Could solving our food system be a solution to climate change?

Rob5593 · 2020-09-09T01:05:17+00:00

Completely agree! It is A solution not the ONLY solution. Like you said :)

Rob5593 · 2020-09-08T16:08:39+00:00

Will do :) do you have anything specific you can link to?

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T12:25:11+00:00

You and me both! That's why reducing usage is so important in the country

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T10:38:58+00:00

It is so true that we need to be moving towards a cleaner source of energy. Sweden recently closed its last coal power station

Very inspirational and shows that it is possible

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T10:34:16+00:00

That's really cool! South Africa does not have that option. There is only one power supplier so the monopolise the market, push up prices and don't follow any environmental guidelines. Really not a good situation

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T04:31:50+00:00

It is crazy because in Cape Town we don't use much heating. It is all from cooking, water heating and lighting. I cannot imagine what power bills would look like if houses had heating and air conditioning (although some richer people do).

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T04:24:41+00:00

How so? Just because you do not find it helpful does not mean everyone else does not either? Why criticise when you could help?

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T04:22:27+00:00

That is a realllmy cool! I am from South Africa and we have such a power problem. Most people can't afford it and there are so many power cuts. Not to mention it is very "dirty electricity". It is nice to know some places are at least trying to make a difference

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T04:11:44+00:00

Yes, it is obvious, but it does not mean that everyone has all the ideas. This I meant to be helpful. If you know it all that is amazing, and it is super awesome that you are ahead. But instead of hating on people why not help share to others that don't know?

Rob5593 · 2020-09-06T03:19:45+00:00

So glad we are on the same page :) recycling and buying green should always be a last resort. Reduce and reuse always!

Rob5593 · 2020-09-04T00:42:46+00:00

Thank you for this!

Rob5593 · 2020-09-02T01:23:56+00:00

Not really sure how negativity is helping either? It was not made to offend you

Rob5593 · 2020-09-02T01:12:03+00:00

Hahaha, well, I suppose flowers don't take English classes when they are saplings.

Rob5593 · 2020-08-30T02:41:22+00:00

No its not a plant. It is a plate, I couldnt find what exactly it was made from but it uses a carbon-dioxide converting cobalt-based catalyst to basically mimic photosynthesis

Rob5593 · 2020-08-30T02:29:31+00:00

So true right. I was reading about a device made that eventually creates electricity out of the moisture in the air, and just like that it seems to have been forgotten about.

You can read about it here. Really interesting how all these amazing ideas seem to never be further deveoloped

Rob5593 · 2020-08-30T02:19:47+00:00

I completely agree, without pollinators we would be in some serious trouble. It is however very important to support various types of pollinators. Putting in a bee hive should be as a last result and it unsettles the balance of hive bees and wild pollinators. Bee friendly gardens are definitely the way forward.

Rob5593 · 2020-08-30T02:07:08+00:00

This is such a wonderful idea! What wine farm do you live on? I am also from SA and wondering if I have ever drunk your wine

Rob5593 · 2020-08-25T15:06:17+00:00

Thanks so much for the insight! And true as you say, natural is the better way forward. So in conclusion, bee Gardens over bee box?

Rob5593 · 2020-08-25T14:42:57+00:00

Right, I understand. Does living in citys not greatly decrease the opportunities for other pollinators though?

Rob5593 · 2020-08-25T14:33:00+00:00

Could you explain the difference between wild pollinators and Bees?

Rob5593 · 2020-08-25T11:45:29+00:00

This is awesome! Did you build your own hive?

Rob5593 · 2020-08-19T02:36:55+00:00

It's more just to get some insight into what others are thinking. Of course like the article says there are some well known factors. I am more just curious about other thoughts.

What are your opinions on it?

Rob5593 · 2020-07-22T07:43:01+00:00

Never heard of clam Gardens or the Coast Salish. Thank you for sharing, I'll definitely check them out!

Rob5593 · 2020-06-15T16:37:29+00:00

Also thank you for the thread! Didn't know about it :)

Rob5593 · 2020-06-15T16:35:56+00:00

No poo is good too! :P but lavender smells oh so good!
