Possibilities in Solar Energy

http://alternateformsofenergy.com

The champion of all energy sources is the sun. More energy from the sun hits the earth in one hour than all the energy consumed on our planet in an entire year. In a year more energy from the sun hits earth than all the oil, coal, gas and nuclear power ever consumed in the history of mankind. However, the boom in solar panels will not be nearly enough to limit climate impacts from burning fossil fuels. Scientists say that fundamental advances that are more likely to come from government research are what is needed to fix the carbon emission problem. Yet the electric utility industry spends less as a percentage of revenue on research and development than does the dog food industry. If the attitude is that we have to change the biggest business in the world in the next 30 years this needs to change.

What’s the Deal with Organic Foods? Part 2

Nutrition by Natalie

What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you?

The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are.

What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer.

What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.
