Wilbur Marksberry: Rural Mexican town full of pigs in Paradise .forever trying to educate people but it is very dangerous The last president (mayor)was tortured and shot in front of his mother who was then riddled with bullets .some of the council members had their front doors machine gunned and the present president is suspended hiding at home ,and the government buildings have been closed for 3 months now .So one has to be careful about insulting or reprimanding people here ,Luckily most of the Bandits (farmers )are friends of mine ,as I have been here for 7 years ,and i have instructed many about organic earth friendly farming,and have preached about the evils of pesticides and fertilizers ,They don`t get mad at me ,but want to pour me full of beer and unspeakable samples of their labors,But the situation has brought me close to the bad effects of a don`t give a damn public the sides of the river has many dead animals ,and hordes of fat vultures.For a year I was in th! e department of Ecology all the way up hill as far as cleaning up the town was concerned .But got out just before the government folded ,it is unwise to be by the side of unsuccessful politicians here .where i live the sewage is incorporated into the garden (green)we pump water ,and compost the organic rubbish(green)live day to day with the food ,not use much packaging ,using plastic bottles and bags ,many times over (green)advice all my friends to try and drive with out air conditioners the guys on the donkeys come green (envy mostly)walk to the shops .its a small townand give many courses on organic and sustainable farming (peddling green ideas)...Show more
Derrick Cacioppo: As always, Byderule is supremely hardcore.
Teodoro Lamond: Too many questions in one question.....I live in a Town of a developing country, the area is not densly populated, this year we have walked into energy crisis, so the power is off for several hours a day, in three four intervals. P! eople use small power generators, which emit smoke and Carbon ! Di Oxide with sox and nox. The area is populated with plenty trees, but the temprature is high (25- 37 celc). Other problem is dust, it is due to geography of the area, it is a desert turned into agriculture area, yet too much of dust is always around houses and on the roads. Yet another problem, that come with the modernization and development, each item in the market is covered with plastic and nylon, lot of disposable items, and each of those is piling up in and around our towns, these are not bio-degradables, going to stay for quite a long time in the Landfill areas and in the streets of the town. Our problem today is that we are using too much of fossil fuels to live our life, why not to convert to renewable energy sources....Show more
Cole Desher: Another great q. Yes I agree that the kind of community you live in greatly affects your environmental lifestyle. Saying that I consider that if you really want to be green you can be Green absolutely anywhere (see lin! k below) particularly if you use Permaculture principles.The first house we owned was an old cottage, we planted trees 24 years ago as we became interested in Permaculture. It is now the only green patch in the entire suburban estate. It was always a residential area but where we walked in fields before is now miles of housing. If we 'Google Earth' our old house it looks just like a woods. It has Tree Preservation Orders placed on it because it is considered by the Local Council to be an 'essential visual feature contributing greatly to the area' and a 'green oasis that adds amenity to people's lives'. Causes us problems as we still own the land LOL but proves a few hours of the right type of work can have a big impact environmentally.We now live rurally. We bought a small holding 9 years ago, yes, it makes it much, much easier to live green. It is agricultural land around us but just by planting trees and digging a pond the increase in fauna and flora in the entire area i! s becoming very noticeably more abundant. The community? We have few ne! ighbours, they don't understand us but love the very noticeable increase in wildlife. Plant trees if you want to make a difference to the quality of your own life, that of others, provide your own food (fruit and nut trees), fuel, timber for your furniture etc and a valuable habitat for fauna and flora.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJVMh2-5Lr0
