Value me.

I need to be valued. I need to have my basic needs taken care of so that I can do my work. People give me less credibility because they see me dressed in hand-me-downs that don't fit, have stains, etc. People think I'm a bum. They think I don't work. People also think I don't work because I don't get paid for it.

I owe my life to the taxpayer. I have been on disability now for more than twenty years. I am grateful and extremely careful with my money...until some unconscious mental set has me do something stupid. I am a little less stupid today. I have a little more self-esteem. I have all my life focused on others' problems, often, for instance, giving away food and then not having enough myself.

I don't need paid. I get by well enough on about seven hundred ninety a month when you include the food stamps. I need the money for the work. You can donate to the Urban Ag group, which is a subcommittee of the 501c3 Hazelwood Initiative.

Bioengineering

People argue for and against modifying the weather, as if we don't do that already (accidentally AND purposely). We seed the clouds with silver iodide to bring rain. During the Vietnam war, the military brought so much rain it caused drought the following year in Africa. We burn so much paper, gas, oil, coal, and other things that we put huge amounts of co2, methane, and many other things in the atmosphere, warming the whole Earth.

We have the technology to use electromagnetics to affect the rate at which methane degrades. Don't mow the lawn and your grass grass will grow and absorb more carbon dioxide. Recycle your organic waste back to the soil and the plants will have more plant food to consume more carbon dioxide. Regenerate ocean ecosystems by feeding nanoparticles of iron to the ocean algae, feeding the rest of the food chain. Clouds can be made (cheaply) by spraying cold ocean water into the air.
Consumption of carbon dioxide is only one of the ecosystem services that would be provided if we allowed plants to grow everywhere they wanted to. Algae for food and fuel is being grown in greenhouses.

There are good feedback effects to from all our activities, such as increasing plant growth and so there's more photosynthesis absorbing co2. And there are tipping points in human behavior also. Most people now are heading toward renewables.

All we need is to get on the same page.
