Compost

As stated previously, the tribe is largely self sustaining. They require little or no money to survive. On the other hand, as his name suggests, the ‘dollarman’ figuratively and inherently lives off money. “Trenches were made for compost. A good market was found for potatoes and pumpkins… but before the market we had ourselves to provide for” Roimata Tamihana tells the reader of their “chosen poverty”. “...there would be profits… where the dead are buried… these were the places wanted…

T According to a legend, the most popular drink in the world as well as one of the healthiest, tea, was discovered in 2737 b.c. by a Great Chinese Emperor, creative scientist and skillful ruler. Legend has it that Emperor Shen Nung was drinking recently boiled water, when a few leaves from a nearby tree were blown into his bowl. The Emperor took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised at the refreshing and energizing drink. Thus tea was created. In the early stages of tea, tea was used…

Visitors should learn that technology when aiding the protection of the environment is not a bad thing. Technology is helping us evolve and adapt in certain ways so we can combat these environmental changes. By viewing simple green technologies (compost to apps on an iPad), on the small scale, hopefully it should inspire the visitor to maybe live a more sustainable lifestyle. To maybe volunteering for organizations or designing their own green…

The first aim for improvement listed in the article was Safety, this is also probably the most important when it comes to saving patients’ lives and coincide the most with the Joint Commission’s safety goals. The “safe” aim for improvement is to avoid injuries from care (Wolfe 2001). This can be done by making sure to identify patients correctly using two identifiers. It can also be done by using medicines safely. Medication safety is improved by using the three checks when administering…

For breakfast on Tuesday, the 13th, I had another smoothie, which I enjoyed, as I always do. After my second class of the day I have an hour long break, during which I always go to Whole Foods to get coffee and lunch. Going out to pick up lunch seems pretty typical, at least in the Bay Area, despite the fact that it can be expensive, which is why I am glad I only have time to buy lunch out twice a week. At Whole Foods I got some fruit, made a salad at the salad bar, and some spring rolls from…

We all want to make a difference in our world, so why don't we start off in our schools. Poudre High School is the third worst school in the district for recycling. Rocky, Fort Collins, and Fossil all produce under 95 tons of trash last year. But, Poudre produced 125 tons of trash. These records should embarrass the students, staff, school, and you. I’m here to address this problem to you and make a change. I no longer want to be the school that is actively contributing to school, community,…

Emilio Moran claims that human behavior must be changed in order to improve the condition of our habitat, Earth (Moran 2006: 2). If I needed to build a house, I would adhere to Moran’s beliefs to make my dwelling as energy efficient as possible. This would keep not only the ecosystem plant life and animal life around me sufficient, but also allow me to do my part in keeping my carbon footprint clean. Section 1. Landscape, size, and surrounding settlement of the habitat My new house will be…

Have you ever thought about how you could change the lives of millions, maybe even billions, but just don 't know where to start? If you have ever taken this idea and tried to picture how it would affect society, you will surely see that the impact would be astronomical. Making an impact on the world is not as difficult as it used to be, mainly due to everything being based around certain fundamental ingredients. First of course, what is the ideal product, then how will this impact the world and…

Renewable energy and soil amendment are just two of the positives of the Anaerobic Digestion method, according to the EPA. Finally, another way we can reduce our scrap food is a very old method known to farmers and gardeners all over the world…compost! You continually compile your leftovers and table scraps along with other food material into a container. Grass clippings, tea and coffee grinds also help to create the perfect mixture to place around your plants to increase their size and growth…

INTRODUCTION The experiment studied mushrooms, which are members of the phylum Basidiomycota and the kingdom Fungi. The study tested three types of mushrooms: Agaricus bisporus commonly known as the button mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus or the oyster mushroom, and Tricholoma magnivelare or the shiitake mushroom. The three types of mushrooms decompose different forms of organic matter and occupy different habitats. The oyster mushrooms live on tree roots and decompose dying hardwood trees; the…
