Permaculture

Permaculture is an interesting subject I hadn’t heard of until a friend mentioned it. “Permaculture?” I asked. “Permaculture. Look it up,” he said. “Sir, yes Sir!” I said.

So I’m looking it up.

It is a process or system or theory of synergy around sustainable human settlements.

This is an interesting concept. How do you engineer an environment that is balanced for the cultivated crops, the forest, animal life, and human life?

Shipping Container Homes

A friend told me about a new movement to make use of used shipping containers. They have a lot of benefits right in the box, good size, solid construction, anti-microbial treatment, hurricane safe.

The Daily green and Mother Nature Network have more information.

Pretty interesting trend. But not an option here in Florida. Bleh. Dig a hole here and it fills with water…then catches on fire.

You don’t need to be an eccentric billionaire or rugged survivalist to take up residence in a cave.

Humanity Connected

Interesting look at humanities genetic past.

All of this speaks to how small our planet really is — and, indeed, always has been — a powerful reminder of how little real difference there is between us all. In fact, that's probably the greatest legacy of Mitochondrial Eve, 25 years on.
