Being Realistic Yet Optimistic

Anyone who thinks that all the fossil fuel burning we humans have being doing isn't going to continue to deplete their limited supply is suffering from what psychiatrists call "magical thinking." Aside from their environmental effects, this is a clear case of too many people wanting these non-renewable resources. I remember being outraged when the price of gas hit 30 cents a gallon - said to myself I'd never pay that much no matter how far I had to drive to get cheaper gas. Well, I'll not pay that much for gas again - because it never will be that price again. Being a non-renewable resource, as gas is continued to be burned by billions of people all over the world it will continue to rise in price. Simple logic.

My reading has turned up that some in the oil industry have purposely hindered both recognition that oil is a finite resource and development of the many alternative energy schemes.

To remain hopeful at this point in our civilization, base your decisions on the necessity of transitioning in large part from fossil fuels. As difficult as it is to imagine that massive a change, we know it is not only possible but vital.

One statistical claim that has given me hope recently is that if we were to transition to fuel cell vehicles, those vehicles while not on the road could serve as stationary sources of sufficient energy while parked to make unnecessary fossil fuels and nuclear. There are so many combinations of strategies that a progressive administration would be including in it's development scheme. That they are not currently being pursued can only indicate that fossil fuel lobbyists have succeeded in stymying efforts to get us off of our addiction to non-renewable energy.

So, call it a revolution if you will, but we need deep and massive change. And we will have it, or all hell's gonna break loose.

That's the best I can do for realistic optimism. We can still have the highest standard of living, with wonderful new inventions continuing to come onto the market, if we're willing to put our all into renewable and environmentally benign technology.

Love everything that lives.

It Takes a Whole Community to Build Awesome Soil

by Jim McCue appropriatebiotech@yahoo.com

There's a difference between dirt and soil. When you say dirt you're talking about that messy and sometimes dangerously polluted stuff that may constitute an allergen or disease hazard. The word soil, however, refers to that living community of microbes, bugs, and worms which, as a whole: nurtures healthy plant life; speeds up the breakdown of some pollutants; limits the toxicity of some other pollutants; and serves as a limiting factor on plant and animal (including human) disease by competing with disease organisms. Soil is wonderful stuff. Dirt just gets in the way.

Our society has taken some wrong turns in it's history. Out of fear of our fellow creatures (large and small) we have been exterminating species after species. Along with human overpopulation we have underpopulation of a growing number of other life forms which are vital to the function of the ecosystem as a whole. Few people in the city have had the joy of sinking one's hands into good soil. It's soft, and can have a variety of smells from reminiscent of ant (remember what ants smell like - or did you never notice?) to foresty to mushroomy to fruity sweet to so many other smells depending on it's composition and biochemical activity. A healthy environment is something we all unconsciously desire and gravitate towards. Everybody enjoys being where there is a lot of life, such as in a garden which has had a quantity and variety of soil species fed by plenty of waste organic matter.
Our fear of bears, whales, mountain lions, and so many other large animals led to their extermination in various parts of the world. Our fear of, and competition with, so many of the smaller life forms is continuing to make the world's soil poorer. It used to be that natural recycling to the soil of the manures of these animals - and the recycling of the animals themselves and dead plants and microbes after they die – served to the regenerate fertility. No more. Now we are making parts of the Earth barren.

With deforestation, for instance. Right now, huge numbers of trees are going to make newspapers and advertisements to be quickly thrown away to be sent to landfills with or without [mostly without] reading). Is this really necessary?

Fear-mongering businesses make money exaggerating the dangers of specific species. Bats, for instance, used to be exterminated due to their disease-carrying capacity. Now they are being encouraged because of their disease-fighting capacity (via the insects they eat). As contrasted with vast numbers of locally grown food production and distribution operations in other parts of the world, we are cursed with too many packaged food choices which have been made not with the consumers in mind but with the producers' profits in mind. Storage time has been increased by allowing quality to decline drastically. Real bread tastes better and is better for you.

Why is no one talking about starting a whole grain bakery in
Hazelwood?

The consumers' desires have been manipulated so that few even know what real whole grain bread tastes like. Real whole grain bread needs either to be eaten within days of baking or refrigerated, as it will get moldy. That stuff you buy on the shelves has been chemicaled up and nutriented down so that it is no longer so attractive to the mold. Take that as an indicator: it should no longer be so attractive for you to eat either. It keeps longer but is worth less.

I could write for days about the screwed up perspectives we have developed about microbes. Microbes are for the most part either good for or not harmful to humans. Because they function as part of a whole community - in the soil and elsewhere - they play a role in disease suppression by competition and by predator-prey relationships. A disease microbe is less likely to become epidemic when it's a part of a healthy soil ecosystem - that is, one having a lot of different kinds of life. Far from being afraid of microbes, we should be welcoming them in a controlled manner - for instance in our gardens. Whenever you see an ad that says "Kills germs" ask yourself first whether you want all microbes gone from that place. Then find out if that product actually does get rid of all microbes when applied (many if most don't succeed in creating an entirely sterile situation). And ask yourself whether the stress from use of that product - on you and the other people, plants, pets, and other loved ones in the area it's applied - is worth the claimed disease protection effect of that product. Many of the worst disease hazards are actually caused by situations (such as hospitals and livestock-slaughtering operations) in which chemicals such as bleach and other techniques such as boiling water are being used in partially successful microbe-killing operations. Disease microbes surviving these operations tend to be accidentally stress-bred to be even worse genetic varieties, and also tend to become epidemic because the now simplified (partially sterilized) ecosystem more likely will allow them to reproduce to become epidemic.

From a food handling course provided by the Allegheny County Health Department I learned that it's better to - rather than constantly dose your restaurant with increasing amounts of pesticides in a futile attempt to eradicate the constantly mutating-to-adapt bugs - better just to keep things clean and dry, thus limiting bugs' access to food and water.

To promote soil community life, we have to love life rather than fear it. Love and encourage a variety of life forms both large and small. That will add to the health of the soil, and help to get us off this treadmill of increasing worldwide competition for decreasing rations of food caused (in part) by the depletion of the soil.

...indisputable: until after Hoover's death in May 1972, the FBI did not devote resources to investigating organized crime while assigning top priority to exposing and prosecuting communists (broadly defined). The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and other left-wing labor groups were relentlessly suppressed but organized crime labor racketeers were hardly opposed. By pursuing "radicals" rather than Mafiosi, Hoover contributed to the emergence of an American labor movement heavily infiltrated and influenced by organized crime...

... The Assassinations Committee reported in 1979 that the FBI probe of Kennedy's murder had been "seriously flawed," "insufficient to have uncovered a conspiracy." The committee's own investigation, meanwhile, identified men who had said the President was going to be killed, along with associates who acted highly suspiciously before and after the assassination. It appears, moreover, that the FBI was aware in 1963 of all or most of the clues the the committee followed sixteen years later.
Edgar, former aides confirm, gave personal attention to all aspects of the assassination. "He got everything, knew about everything," Cartha DeLoach recalled. "We didn't dare hold anything back." Yet Edgar ignored a mass of information that, when the Assassinations Committee came upon it years later, would suggest conspiracy...

..."Senator, ...100,000 people paid with their lives; 1,600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.
"If the world had listened to [UN Secretary General] Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to [French] President Chirac, who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the antiwar movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth," argued Galloway.
Then the Brit turned the tables on Coleman and steered the committee's attention toward "the real Oil for Food scandal."
"Have a look at the fourteen months you were in charge of Baghdad, the first fourteen months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on your watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money but the money of the American taxpayer," Galloway said.
"Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter, that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where. Have a look at the $800 million you gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it. Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony in this committee. That the biggest sanctions busters were not me or Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own Government." ...

...propaganda became an organized and very self-conscious industry only in the last century.
...this industry was created in the more democratic societies...Ministry of Information...in Britain..."to direct the thought of most of the world."...Britain needed U.S. backing for the war...Wilson administration reacted by setting up the first state propaganda agency here, the Committee on Public Information...
...wartime fervor was created not by military leaders and politicians but by the more responsible, serious members of the community - namely, thoughtful intellectuals...The country was driven into hysteria...
..."manufacture consent"..."engineering of consent"...
...workers were being trained to become robots and every single motion was controlled and regulated...thought-control experts...turning people into robots in every part of their lives by inducing a "philosophy of futility," focusing people on "the superficial things of life, like fashionable consumption." Let the people who are supposed to run the show do so without any interference from the mass of the population, who have no busingess in the public arena...from that idea grew enormous industries, ranging from advertising to universities, all very consciously committed to the belief that you must control attitudes and opinions, because the people are otherwise just too dangerous...
page 24
...Hitler...argued, not without reason, that propaganda won the First World War......United States remains in the forefront because it's the most free and democratic society, so it's much more important to control attitudes and opinions here...
...Republican...domestic agenda...tax cuts - they say for the economy, but they mean for the rich - and other programs that are designed to benefit an extremely small sector of the ultra-wealthy and privileged and that will have the effect of harming the mass of the population
...long-term effort to destroy the institutional basis for social support systems, to eliminate programs such as Social Security that are based on the conception that people have to have some concern for one another. The idea that we should feel sympathy and solidarity, that we should care whether the disabled widow across town is able to eat, has to be driven from our minds. That's a large part of the domestic agenda, quite apart from just shifting wealth and power toward ever narrower sectors...
...way to achieve that...is to make people afraid...gravitate toward the strong leaders...trust...to protect them from enemies and therefor suppress their own concerns and interests...present the president as a powerful wartime leader who is succeeding in overcoming this awesome foe - an enemy chosen precisely because it can be crushed in no time...
page 30
...In the United States people...are afraid of everything. Take the issue of crime. The crime rate in the United States is comparable to that of other industrial countries; it's toward the high end of that scale, but not off the spectrum. Yet fear of crime here is much higher than in other countries. Drug use is about the same here as in other countries, but fear of drugs is off the scale...
...a background of fear that is exploited...probably has to with the conquest of the continent, when you had to exterminate the native population, and slavery, when you had to control a population that was regarded as dangerous, because you never knew when the slaves might turn on you. And it may also be a reflection of the enormous security we have here. The security of the United States is unparalleled. The United States controls the hemisphere...both oceans and the opposite sides of both oceans...
...develop an attitude of critical examination toward whatever is presented to you. Of course, the whole educational system and the whole media system have the opposite goal. You're taught to be a passive, obedient follower...

...the case of the Cuban Five...The United States launched a terrorist war against Cuba in 1959, which picked up rapidly under Kennedy, with Operation Mongoose, and actually came close to triggering a nuclear war. The peak of the atrocities was probably in the late 1970s. The that time, though, the United States was dissociating itself from the terrorist war and, as far as we know, was not carrying out terrorist actions directly. Instead, the United States was harboring terrorists who were carrying out attacks on Cuba - quite serious ones - in violation of U.S. and international laww. The terrorist acts, incidentally, continued at least into the late 1990s. We don't have to debate about wheeter the people involved are terrorists are not. The FBI and the Justice Department describe them as dangerous terrorists, so let's take their word for it. There's Orlando Bosch, for example, whom the FBI accuses of numerous serious terrorist acts, some of them on U.S. soil, and whom the Justice Department described as a threat to the security of the United States who should be deported . Bosch's activities include participation in the destruction of a Cubana airliner, in which seventy-three people were killed, in 1976. George Bush I, at the request of his son Jeb, the Florida governor, gave Bosch a presidential pardon. So he's sitting happily in Miami...
When it became clear that the United States was doing nothing to stop terrorists harbored here from carrying out attacks, Cuba decided to infiltrate the terrorist organizations in Florida with agents of its own...In 1998, Cuba provided...documents and videotapes about the planning of terrorist actions in Florida. And the FBI responded, namely by arresting the infiltrators...the Cuban Five: the infiltrators that gave the FBI in information about terrorists in the U.S. were arrested...three of them have life sentences...
Or take Emmanuel Constant. He is responsible for killing maybe four or five thousand Haitians. He is living happily in Queens, New York...

Urban Farming Initiative
http://ufarm.org
From Carole Krick Walsh
Re: First U.S. City Mandates Purchase of Locally Grown Organic Food
Perhaps a thumbnail sketch of wonderful people driving this growing movement will best serve all of us. We can see the energy flow.
Pittsburgh has been acknowledged for the number of community gardens. We are a city of multi-cultural neighborhoods.
We have the most vacant land next to Detroit. We are a city creating a green transformation with the help of our new administration under the leadership of Mayor O'Conner and Gov. Rendell.
We have the most LEEDS buildings in the country due to Green Building Alliance.
There is one 5 ac. farm in Allegheny County, Mildred's Daughters, teaching families how to farm and do natural building.
Garden Dreams is just outside the city limits where Mindy Schwartz grows 3,000 seedlings in her basement that is licensed as a greenhouse. She has a half acre plot in the middle of three houses. These two entities have created Grow Pittsburgh, a non-profit. Distribution happens through e-mail and a working relationship with Construction Junction, a recycling center. Mindy identifies products for organic growing and sells them at the center. She also provides food for a historic site that has an upscale cafe.
Healcrest Farm is growing in Garfield as a community center growing herbs. This is one of our communities experiencing alot of unrest. For three years I have been working to identify and put to work two acres of land close to Healcrest Farm. There is an opportunity to create a working demonstration farming site on this land.
The Urban Farming Initiative has worked over three years in spinning off Green Lots helping people identify in their neighborhood's spaces to be transformed into green areas.
We now have two lots in the East End about to be transformed into growing areas.
The models I am working with is The Food Project in Boston, and the Food Trust in Philadelphia. These two ten year old organizations are mentoring groups around the country by teleconferences and workshops. I would not have as much hope as I do if it were not for the young people in Boston growing close to 250,000 pounds of food last year
through their CSA in Lincoln on Conservation land and two acres in Roxbury with food sold there in their own farmers market. In addition they have purchased a church in Roxbury with a commercial kitchen where the youth learn catering skills and feed the homeless. The youth are paid through their efforts!
There is not a day that goes by that I do not hold these youth in my mind as a beautiful example of work that truely transforms lives in our urban centers.
We have one of the finest examples of a social enterprise in the country with Bidwell Training Center. Growing food in greenhouses is one of the focused trainings available to the community.
Penn State University and the Extension Center are potential resourses for the city. Penn State has created high tunnels for growing year round and Bill Lamont, Horticulture Dept. has held onto a dream of a farm in the city since the early 80's.
My dream for UFI 2 is to have a 5 ac. space that would no doubt be various diverse lots in a given area growing demonstration crops for an existing market that has identified itself through the "Buy Fresh Buy Local" movement spearheaded by PASA(Pennsylvania Association of Sustainable Agriculture) Farmers to Institution movement. I believe this is one of the biggest social movements of our time.
We have an organization called Sustainable Pittsburgh that is doing a great job looking at technology but not food. The core business community has not really taken hold of sustainable agricuture in the city as a viable piece of development. As gas prices continue to climb and food prices do the same there will be no choice. Like Cuba we will all be growing food on all our vacant land and rooftops, as well as parking lots. Our health will improve over time, our communities will become safer, our air cleaner, the visuals will be breathetaking. A new ethic for aesthetics and a return of fruit trees and berry bushes will grace our cities. Wildlife will return.
In order to fill this vacum of the developers not including space to grow in the city, I have contacted Carniege Mellon University, Indira Nair, Vice Provost who will help me sponsor a major speaking/experiental series starting in January of '07, She will be designing a course around the speakers for students to take the information from people like Dave Jacke, Edible Forest Gardening right into community plots and work with families in these areas.
We will learn about Permaculture, Gaia University, The Food Project will bring youth here with their Executive Director.
I would not be thinking along these lines if it were not for people within the food industry itself pushing for the local food system to be in place: Jamie Moore of Eat's Park, for ten years this company has sought out local food for their restaurtant and catering services. Whole Food and Kim Wyneski, Community Development Coodinator will be creating a childrens market in the parking lot this summer. Can we deliver plants, food, products grown with the help of children is the challenge.
There is another entity doing a great job here in Pittsburgh and that is Slow Food Pittsburgh who will be paying a tribute to Bill Fuller of Big Burritos Group that have established the finest restaurtants and lead the pack in purchasing locally grown food. Slow Food keeps their pulse on the Buy Fresh Buy Local movement and is continually introducing local products to the foodies.
I am hoping Slow Food will sponsor Alice Waters coming to Pittsburgh as she begins a first food festival in San Francisco in '07 with the hope of moving it across the country.
UFI's mission is to use horticulture for economic development and education starting in early development and working our way through the high school systems providing materials and opportunities to do hands on work in the earth. Connecting our communities to the soil with hands on technology.
Last but not least is Darrell Frey of Three Sisters Permaculture Farm in Sandy Lake, Pa.
Darrell built his own Bio-dynamic Greenhouse ten years ago and provides salad greens and herbs to the finest restaurants in Pittsburgh. A grandfather who gives to the city and to his local community in endless ways, just received his BA degree and will be teaching farming to youth in a whole educational system built around an orphange, adding a permaculture design to over 300 acres they own. It is Darrell's greenhouse I am waiting to see built in the center of the Lincoln Larimor area as an educational site connecting the vacant demonstration sites.
Follow the energy and identify the people with the same passion you feel. We will be looking to you for our inspiration.
