About me
I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. I love reading, movies, baking, wine and laughter. I have no pets or tattoos. My daughter says my best qualities are "loving, playing and wondering."
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks makes getting information easier. I trust my fellow Clippers to gather both sides of the story and feed them to me in manageable bites. I'm lazy but also a glutton for news and information. Since Clipmarks, I'm never at a loss for conversation starters. My popularity at parties has soared.

5 Urban Design Proposals for 3D City Farms
alanocu
by alanocu  3-30-2008    8
 Sustainable, Ecological and Agricultural Skyscrapers - One man’s vision has sparked a series of designs leading closer and closer to what will be the first real-life vertical urban farm in Las Vegas, Nevada of all places. Here are five of these remarkable architectural designs for sustainable (and stylish) urban farm towers that may revolutionize agriculture as we know it. In the long run such structures may not only provide food for hundreds of thousands of people per building but they will also relieve much of the burden on other flat landscapes where fewer and fewer usable growing spaces exist.

Monsanto's Udder Disgrace
thisnamecantbetaken
by thisnamecantbetaken  2-8-2008    2
  The milk labeling controversy - and other corporate practices of Monsanto - have been issues for years. For a while every time I saw my Senator, I would greet him with the same comment, "Hey Bernie, when are you going to do something about Monsanto?" Senator Bernie would shake his head and raise his hands in frustration. I often heard him say that no matter how bad you think things are in Washington, they are really much worse. While the Congress is distracted with growth hormones taken by sports figures, our farm animals are being abused with other hormones. Baseball players have a free choice. Cows don't. None of us have a choice. Not if Monsanto has anything to say about it and they do. Money talks.

Not just a Farm Bill, it's a food bill
bignosemousie
by bignosemousie  11-5-2007    1
  If the eaters and all the other “people on the outside” make themselves heard, we just might end up with something that looks less like a farm bill and more like the food bill a poorly fed America so badly needs. Call your Senator!

Does the Indian government really believe this stuff?
mbthorman
by mbthorman  8-20-2007    1
 Sounds good at first reading, but then note the 200 meter isolation. This is nothing considering that both wind caried pollen and insect carried pollen will inevitably cross over a small area such as 200 meters. Contamination of nearby natural crops cannot be assured!

MONSANTO PATENTS ASSERTED AGAINST AMERICAN FARMERS REJECTED BY PATENT OFFICE
jetcloud
by jetcloud  8-8-2007    5
 One study of the matter found that, "Monsanto has used heavy-handed investigations and ruthless prosecutions that have fundamentally changed the way many American farmers farm. The result has been nothing less than an assault on the foundations of farming practices and traditions that have endured for centuries in this country and millennia around the world, including one of the oldest, the right to save and replant crop seed."

 Buying local also means the food is grown because it tastes good and not because it ships well. More reasons in the article, I recommend reading it.

Ark of Taste

 The Ark of Taste is a project of the Slow Food Foundation. Its goal is to reintroduce forgotten foods, so that they do not go extinct. Large scale agrobusiness really threatens the existence of thousands of plant types, as well as animal species. Really interesting website with lots of information.

Monsanto sues small farmers again (and again)
bignosemousie
by bignosemousie  5-6-2007    5
 Monsanto is suing a canola farmer because bees pollinated his crops with "trademarked" pollen from a GM farm. Nice way to do business. Soon all canola crops will be owned by Monsanto, if it doesn't kill the bees first. Monsanto also sued a dairy farmer to prevent him from labelling his milk rBGH-free. Monsanto is the number one producer of rBGH.

GM crops are killing the bees
bignosemousie
by bignosemousie  5-6-2007    4
 The article makes a good case for GM crops being bad for bees. I didn't know the disappearance of bees was heavier in Texas and California. I just noticed there weren't as many where I live.

Murder that threatens our survival
bignosemousie
by bignosemousie  5-4-2007    2
 Languages are being murdered faster than ever before. What does this mean? The article ties linguistic diversity (LD) to biodiversity (BD). The two diversities seem to enforce and support each other. When the language dies, the knowledge dies with it. Interesting article for anthropologists and linguists.
