New program, "Biorhythms" coming to Current Earth Care

In an effort to maintain the original vision of Current and to also be a vocal advocate for environmental issues and information we need to know, I am going to be launching a program to be uploaded to the Current Earth Care Community within the next week. Biorhythms is a term usually associated with the physical, intellectual and emotional cycles of humans. I will attempt to extend this term to cover the cycles of Earth and human impacts on them from pollution to climate change (biodistress) and their affects on quality of life.

A healthy environment is crucial to a healthy economy and healthy humans. We are nothing without it and well, I simply believe that to know about the Earth is to learn to respect her and that hopefully leads to actions to preserve her.

I hope for the program to be bi-weekly and will be discussing pressing environmental issues as well as disseminating information we aren't seeing on the MSM and trying to connect the dots we need connected. And I won't pull any punches in placing accountability where it belongs. This will not be a politically partisan program, but make no mistake, politics will be challenged when it threatens this Earth regardless of party.

Our environment is under attack from all angles by interests that care not for the destruction they bring. Therefore, my programs will have a set schedule. A discussion of one pressing environmental issue followed by a commentary. Then a few mintues of news you need to know, any inspirational stories I come across and they are out here, any action items I can find and finally a question for thought and discussion that you can participate in by typing your response or posting a video. I also hope to select a few members of the Current Community who would be willing to give contributions, interviews, etc. and maybe a couple of surprises.

And to end, I don't want the program to be a downer. I want you to walk away with truth and with also realizing that as a species we have great potential and the capacity to live in harmony with Earth. But only in knowing the reality of what we are doing to our only home can we begin to heal her and ourselves.

More information will be coming and I hope you will check out Biorhythms.

Thanks,
JanIn an effort to maintain the original vision of Current and to also be a vocal... more

A letter to my president

Dear Mr.President,
Now comes a time when a true leader must arise. The problem that is at hand can be fixed and with little effort. The budget, EPA restrictions, GMO food ...all these disruptions of faith and hope. Well I have an answer to the problem... I am posting this via the internet to get feedback and maybe someone could elaborate on this plan and make it even better.
With the issue of peak oil, the solution is as simple as supply and demand...the current technology in the internal combustion engine is be far obsolete, I am sure if one would look through the patent office one would fine that there are several patents that make fossil fuels more efficient as well as other avenues of using other more sustainable fuels.
Lets combine technologies and create the best most efficient engine there is(ok maybe its not the most profitable thing to build something that lasts and is most efficient, however it satisfies the term that seems to resonate in congress these days "Long Term") One doesn't have to think very hard to come up with a solution to this issue yet congress has created a conundrum of the issue, as if we were too stupid to really see its an easy fix.
Peak oil = The point where we are using more than we can find create or procure. This is a profound statement "Peak Oil" is not a finite term. it can be influence by drilling and finding more(unlikely) or by using less(bingo!!!). Lets assume the number is one million barrels of oil is used daily (hypothetically speaking) and we can assume its broken down to 60% is for gasoline and diesel products,20% for plastics and 20% for other(chemicals and whatnot). If we concentrate on the largest number the amount of time that oil can support us is declining rapidly,However, change the number and the equation changes. lets assume we could cut that number in half. then the breakdown would look like this 30%+20%+20%and 30% to savings. This is impossible you say there is no way to cut it in half ...but there is!!!
1) start by taking all of the office workers and that means the workers that go to work to sit in front of a computer everyday and allow them to stay home and work. Most positions that require data input or output etc... this would mean less traffic less people commuting everyday.
2) bring education back to the home where the parent(who now works from home) could be not only caretaker of the education. (Computerized education)
3)restrict commercial vehicles from operating during peak traffic times.(slowing commuters and commercial traffic means unnecessary fuel consumption)
The savings from these actions would be enormous...less commuters, no school buses, no more gridlock on the highway burning up fuel, and even saving from engery costs to heat or cool the bricks and mortar types of schools or offices. Another beneficial by product is "family" on or more parents at home rearing the child from toddler to adult creating strong family values and morals ( children are less likely to be influence by drugs or gang activity)
These step would drastically reduce the feul consumption and relieve our dependence on oil with immediate results.
Some long term projects that would help out would be the High Speed Mag-Lev train system that was "De-railed" in 2000 by the former president this train system is safeer than flying and uses electricity for propulsion.
so to recap:
_reduce the commuter consumption
_reduce school bus consumption (also saves taxes for physical schools as they would no longer be useful or be converted to community centers. with operation costs cut dramatically)
_road traffic would diminish and road resurfacing needs would decline
_Mag-Lev implementation removes the burden of fuel from transportation and also provides a safer method of travel (you cannot crash a mag lev train into a skyscraper and it can be shut down remotely)
_finally the effects of bringing families back together in the home would create a better community and happier population(less crime).
The world used to look at the USA with envy and desire. Lately we are the object of disgrace and disgust. Lets set the stage for Act 2 ---"America in example"
May God grant you the patience peace and wisdom to direct us in the right direction and the grace and hope of the people to guide your decisions.

Sincerely, Earthwalker (The White Buffalo)Dear Mr.President, Now comes a time when a true leader must arise. The problem that... more
