Seems cool, but that's a big electromagnetic field. What will that do to living systems, i.e. human beings? More research is needed on the safety of this and other EMF's before we adopt any more high energy EMF fields into wide circulation.

Comment on GMOs in the Wild: The Great Gene Escape by Jim

Jim — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:21:00 +0000

If you travel around N Europe in spring/early summer with your eyes only fractionally open you will see thousands of roadside rapeseed (canola ) plants. This great escape of invasive species occurs wherever the crop is cultivated and scientists have been recording this for at least 20 years. These plants are (mostly) not GM. It is therefore not surprising that if you grow GM rapeseed it will do the same thing . What is also not surprising is that Lindsey Konkel and her kind only open their eyes when GM is mentioned, and ignore all other forms of invasive species regardless of the ecological harm they cause .

Had super insulation not been severely suppressed, Had Straw Bale been fully developed, Had Fresnel lens technologies been further developed, harnessed for the common man, had Aquaponics, composting, been properly explored, developed, Had Wind Power been scientifically approached, Had the American Dream been modified for sustainable survival, Had nutritious veggies, fruits been cultured, Had water tables been respected, valued, Had America remained practical, looked at the Great Corporate American Propaganda Whore's exhortations, mesmerizations for what they were America would be flourishing today. We all know what is really happening.

Comment on The Hidden Risk and Cost of Mercury Pollution by Phil (Smiling Gardener)

Phil (Smiling Gardener) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:35:00 +0000

I tend to keep a distant eye on lead/mercury/heavy metals, but had no idea it spirals up the terrestrial food chain so quickly.

Once we stop producing mercury as a society, do you think the environment will take care of it, or will it be a toxic legacy for decades to come?

Eating organic food is a great step towards a

more costly. To combat the increased cost, and to ensure that the food you are
eating is 100% organic, you may want to start your own organic garden.

In
an ongoing poll on MSNBC’s online health, over 90% of American's believe
genetically modified foods should be labeled. Unfortunately this will not
happen until consumers choose to get informed about what they are eating and
stop consuming genetically modified foods.
