Locally, the film will be shown at 1 a.m., as well...2 hours from now.
All through it, please remember that scattering saved seeds in areas near ground water may save us from all sins of those who want 'more'...for some reason.
As for water, the ground cleanses water that passes through it.
Watch for ground water near other natural water sources...lakes, underground streams...and that miracle of water sources, artesian wells.
We had widespread flooding throughout our province (state) this year...but not nearly as bad as 1948 when the Fraser River flooded toward Vancouver, B.C., my hometown. I was 10 years old.
A few years later I read a book called "Three Against the Wilderness".
Read it. You'll learn the value of beavers.
This year's flooding makes me ask, "Where are the beavers?"
One would expect real estate offices to give copies to their salespeople...the prices of 'waterfront' property being what they are...their profit, of course, is a percentage of that.
And, don't let anyone build any fossil fuel installations, anywhere...PERIOD! There are ALWAYS spills. Now they want us to admire how well THEY clean up, compared to other spill managers.
There is considerable disagreement as to exactly how large a role man plays in global warming. Regardless of what that role may be, the earth cycles naturally between warm and cold periods. See:
...Even if the earth is in perfect harmony...a mouthful of mercury Amalgams is no fun whatsoever.
I get hugely upset with so-called 'scientists' who stop short of solutions that are entirely doable by anyone/everyone, everywhere.
Why should our lives be spoiled by advertisers/promotors who try to boost the dollars out of our pockets...no matter who goes hungry in the process?
No, I take that back...I no longer get angry with 'scientists'...people who are wrong fail, and when they do, common sense shines.
Enhace what remains of the natural world in the same way it has flourished for thousands of years.
Every single plant since the year One, has scattered its seeds randomly. Who says we have to plow, and that we must own the land in squares and run machines and spray chemicals on it, and sell exclusively to one market chain which decides what it is worth according to their own marketing campaign?
Fiddlesticks!
Marketing by confusion!
Give me a couple of pocketfuls of seeds, some beavers and an axe, and stand back.
You see, it's about living well, in comfort and with satisfaction. It isn't how much one has...it is how content we are. That comes from the inside.
Totally agree that we should live in harmony with nature as much as possible, my Johnny Appleseed friend. This whole idea we have been sold on about constantly getting bigger, better, faster, "things" is nuts for us and the planet. And we are seeing that it is nuts for the economy as well.

exactly--since I was a child I never comprehended the exclusive ownership of land masses, and always wanted to know how far down did that 'ownership 'go. To China? Japan? (From whence came The Green Dragon Gift Shop where I spent some of my hard-earned allowance) And what about seed balls? Here in TO. Occupy Gardens was getting into that, in the spring. Isn't there a book called "one straw revolution"? --It's about a Japanese farmer's methods. Eminently sensible--seed rolled into clay balls, and scattered. Then, when the proper conditions arise, in nature,the clay dissolves, and releases the seed. Clay that is mineral-rich, and includes straw, for mulch.
In this vein,
One of my all-time favourite books is called The Timeless Way of Building--and there's a second volume called A Pattern Language. What a gem. It shows how our language actually shapes what we create--Look at the brevity of language currently with its rough acronyms and military-induced rapperisms. And many would argue -perhaps correctly- that English is a language of business, and little else. Well,then dip into The Ttimeless Way of Building --
The Quality Without a Name is what it alerts us to. And once you see it, you never again can *quite* sink beneath it. (though circumstances might test one's limits :-))
Haven't seen the film--as we don't have TV.
The old song is right--we've got to get ourselves back to the garden--except now, we can't go 'back' --but there are other directions, dimensions. The thing is, not to sink into anger or bitterness, which is low vibration, and can be used as 'power' to drive the fear-driven machinery. We should be a little like 'seed balls' ourselves, in that we
patiently wait for the right conditions, and don't waste our life-force in the wrong places--where we rely on anything unnatural to sustain us. Light, mineral-rich, with a little straw for softness. ...sounds good
