Since 2010, California officials have sprayed more than 14,000 gallons of Roundup onto invasive weeds in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which supplies drinking water to more than 25 million people.

Thousand gal.
Oh my.
See the BLOG page for my detailed coverage of the current trial. CURRENT CASE: The Johnson case is Case Number: CGC16550128 Title: DEWAYNE JOHNSON VS. MONSANTO COMPANY ET AL Cause of Action: PRODUCTS LIABILITY The Johnson case holds promise of serving as a bellwether for the thousands of similar cases filed by plaintiffs who claim that exposure to Roundup […]

If you are interested in the trial itself, this is an informative website.
At least half the cans, bottles, plastics and paper collected for recycling used to end up in one place — China. Now China has decided to stop accepting most of the recycled materials that it once purchased. And that decision is having huge ripple effects on recycling programs in Richmond, as well as other communities in this country and overseas.

Oh my! We will start dumping them in the ocean again.
Scientists have recovered years of hidden temperature data from the NASA moon landings in the 1970s. They think there’s only one possible explanation for a warming shift in surface temperatures on the moon: human footprints.
Hmmmmmmm you don’t think that it has anything to do with the Sun going through normal sun cycles with variations in output do you?
In 1973, a toxic chemical was mixed into tons of farm feed, sickening livestock and exposing millions of Michiganders. Should later generations worry?

Permaculture is about living with the world. Blowing it up is about the most non-permaculture action I can imagine :-). All permaculturists should work at how to not blow up the world!

Pretty good bokashi blog. So many that I look at have so many significant scientific flaws that I am wary of how valid any of their points are.
But this one is pretty good. And I like the caveats that he uses very carefully at times to simplify complex microbial ideas.
Best to all.

OMG this is/was my life!
This is what I spent 10+ years studying :-) not the specific structures shown, but the chemistry surrounding it.
And if anyone is interested (which I’m sure they’re not) :-) complex one cannot just dump the electrons into the Matrix _you cannot have free electrons_ which is why we don’t get shocked by our electronic gizmos. And so complex one _must_ past those electrons to coenzyme Q
With the proton gradient, the electronic gradient-psi, and the mechanisms of energy production. These gradients affect chemical solubility in the membrane and thus the ability of chemicals to cross the membrane and cause chemical damage to the DNA that is contained within these organelles.
I studied bacteria, but the systems are exquisitely similar to those of our mitochondria.
This is also why some of us take antioxidants. The last step where the electrons are put on to oxygen to create water — if it makes a mistake it creates a reactive oxygen species not water which can damage our DNA
ILTS i love this ☺

Dedicated to my friend Tad who is immortalized at the bottom of each page of my website and who introduced me to The Onion.
I still am laughing about the story. I particularly like the fact that they euthanized it with Roundup! and if the flower freaking out over a bee is still is on the link … feel free! — warning strong language (eye roll)
