How John Muir Is Revolutionizing the Farm-to-Table Food Movement - Joe Fassler Yes, that John Muir. His observations on nature's interconnected systems deeply influenced award-winning chef Dan Barber's new book, The Third Plate. By Heart is a series in which authors share and discuss their all-time favorite passages in literature. Dan Barber, chef of New York’s pioneering farm-to-table restaurant Blue Hill, has long been a champion of the local, organic food movement. “Farm-to-table has failed to transform the way most of our food is grown in this country,” he writes in his new book The Third Plate: Field Notes for the Future of Food. In order to transform our agricultural landscape—and make farm-to-table truly sustainable—Barber insists we’ll need to develop a “Third Plate:” a form of eating that harnesses the incredible power of ecological relationships, while reflecting the proportions of what farmers can reasonably grow. Dan Barber: My revelation in the kitchen occurred 10 years ago, standing over a bag of all-purpose flour. And that’s the thing.
James D. Hardy's Self-Looped Water Pump and Electricity Generator From PESWiki Massachusetts inventor demonstrates a patent pending technology in which a 165 gallon/minute water pump powers a water wheel, which is connected through belts to a generator, which powers the water pump as well as an incandescent bulb. The system very clearly violates several known "laws of physics", with losses through each of the energy transfer mechanisms; yet there it is apparently "self-running." If this is indeed a legitimate demonstration, a possible explanation is that the generator somehow harvests electromagnetic energy from the environment. Validation Pending As of July 16, 2008, the New Energy Congress has been in discussion with James Hardy about going in to inspect his prototype. March 10, 2013 Update: This could be a variation of the Directory:Motor-Generator Self-Looped with Usable Energy Left Over genre. Official Website not yet?

Plantbombing, Yarn Bombing With Plants « the BUZZCUTT In what may be the sweetest collaboration for a couple ever, urban knitter Heather Powazek Champ came up with a project that combines her love of knitting with her husband’s love of plants. Heather knits adorable little plant pockets and her husband, Derek Powazek, fills them with soil and live plants. They then distribute them around their homebase of San Francisco in a project they call Plantbombing, which is basically a grown up version of yarn bombing and seed bombing. Plant-wise, the trick is to plant them with things that are hardy enough to thrive in neglect.
A new crop of school gardens A freckle-faced Malloy Sparling wraps her dirt-dusted fingers around a three-pronged cultivator and looks up with a big-toothed smile. "We're making a garden," she says, plucking a weed out of the ground, then wiping her little hands on her tomato red T-shirt. Sparling and other young volunteers, plus parents and politicians, are taking part in a community work day at Farragut Elementary School in Culver City. While most schools sit like dormant ghost towns during the summer, a few are breaking up the asphalt, planting seeds that will be sprouting edible gardens come September. It may seem counterintuitive to start new programs in this economic climate. But this groundswell, largely sparked by parent and community interest -- and perhaps some inspiration from Michelle Obama's White House garden -- is finding support in all the right places. Waters says there is a shift in priorities that needs to happen within federal policy to give garden programs longevity. A teaching garden
