Some kits have an expensive outlay at first. They may include such things as a freestanding greenhouse for indoors, special lighting, self watering, a source of warmth and air circulation for optimal growing.

You don’t even need a indoor gardening for dummies book or the complete idiot’s guide to urban farming. I highly recommend something like the MIRACLE-GRO AEROGARDEN you can be an instant green-thumb.

Grow and harvest your very own organic, pesticide, herbicide free, non-GMO fresh gourmet herbs, vegetables, salad greens or just about anything else you want to grow and eat.

Inexpensive to operate and you don’t need to mess with dirt/soil because this type doesn’t need any. Your green-thumb can stay green.
Putting aside the easy, done for you kits because you want your little farm on the balcony for fresh air, rain and sunlight. Moreover, the joy and therapy of getting your hands in the soil and growing a greener healthier you along your journey of becoming an urban farmer.

Instead of crowding your balcony with a lawn chair, the bbq that’s rusting out along with the kids bikes with flat

    1) The purpose of “Meatless Monday” is to raise awareness of the detrimental environmental impact of eating meat, preserve precious natural resources and to encourage people to help slow climate change: “If being the number one contributor to the most serious threat facing the planet (global warming) isn't enough, what is?”. I would say that the idea if the Meatless Monday is great and I would definitely participate. Each person can decide what is the reason for him to participate – the described by Jonathan Foer contemporary conventional factory farming conditions and animal’s suffering or the fact that it causes unintended health consequences and encompasses also environmental problems. “Not responding is a response - we are equally responsible for what we don't do.”…

    In this essay, I will consider the topic of vegetarianism from the perspective of environmental concerns that are often associated with the production of meat. In the article, Vegetarianism and Planetary health (2000), Michael Allen Fox states that strict vegetarianism ought to be adopted in order to avoid the eco-destructive nature of the livestock industry. Although there may be some truth to Fox’s initial premise which claims that eating meat is harmful for the environment, I will argue that strict vegetarianism is in fact unnecessary, as it does not exclusively solve the issue of ecological destruction. I will aim to expand on Fox’s claims in order to establish that it is better and more viable to adopt a ‘Demi-Vegetarian’ diet as described…

    A family friend and farmer taught me fi rsthand about the eff ects of buying local. Buying local could help reverse the trend towards industrial-scale farming, of which the changes in Wisconsin over Mr. Lermio's lifetime are just one example. Buying local benefi ts small farmers by not forcing them to compete with larger farms across the country. Buying local, as was common in the fi rst half of the twentieth century, encourages small poly culture farms that sell a variety of products locally. For environmental purposes, the small polyculture farms that buying local encourages have many advantages over industrial-scale monoculture farms because they are more sustainable.…

    Gardening activist and director Roger Doiron hosted a TEDxDirigo talk titled, “A Subversive Plot: How to Grow a Revolution in Your Own Backyard”, in which he encourages his audience to begin “subversive plot” gardening. Doiron starts by describing that gardening is a subversive activity because food is essentially a form of energy and power. When people grow and harvest their own food, they are taking control “over their diet…health, [and] pocket books”. As someone continues to pursue a gardening lifestyle, they begin to remove that power from “other actors in society that currently have power over food and health”.…

    These extracted sugars are added to foods such as cookies, cake and soda. Cookies, cake and soda are examples of foods that contain extra sugar that eventually ends up being stored as fat. In lab, we built polysaccharides. These polysaccharides contain multiple sugars opposed to a disaccharide, which is only composed of two monosaccharides. In a low carbohydrate diet, it is important to stay away from products that contain many polysaccharides because polysaccharides contain more sugar, hence resulting in weight gain.…

    The Meat Industry verses Being a Vegetarian Do you know where the meat we all eat come from? This is something we all need to think about when we cook a nice juicy steak or going to your local McDonald’s for a Big Mac.

When people do a meat based diet is high in fats and cholesterol these are killers and bad for your health, verses a vegetarian diet, it offers a lot of good stuff such as minerals, vitamins (tons of it), good proteins and fibrous indigestible materials.…

    In modern times, billions of people around the world consume these non-nutritive sweeteners, and in a study with 80,000 participants there was a significant correlation found between weight gain and non-nutritive sweetener.4 A key point in the thought process of switching from a sugar sweetened diet to one with non-nutritive sweeteners is that there is no compensation through the consumption of more food for the calorie reduction that came from the switch, which could result in an increased overall caloric intake.2 There have been multiple studies on the negative effects of non-nutritive sweeteners, with results ranging from an increase in metabolic syndrome in all age ranges, to an increased risk of developing diabetes even after the same people exhibited weight loss after starting a diet with non-nutritive sweeteners eight years prior.4 It has also been found that the exact diseases that artificial sweeteners are being used to prevent, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other disorders, can actually cause…

In his article, “Against Meat”, he explains his lifetime story of his dedication to vegetarianism and the events that took place to help him genuinely become a vegetarian.
