10 Brilliant Social Psychology Studies
Ten of the most influential social psychology experiments explain why we sometimes do dumb or irrational things. “I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures.Why do good people sometimes act evil?Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?” Like famous social psychologist Professor Philip Zimbardo (author of The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil), I’m also obsessed with why we do dumb or irrational things. The answer quite often is because of other people — something social psychologists have comprehensively shown. Each of the 10 brilliant social psychology experiments below tells a unique, insightful story relevant to all our lives, every day.

Droit aux buttes
Jardins en buttes à l'écocentre du périgord On les voit fleurir un peu partout, elles représentent une vraie révolution dans notre relation au sol et notre façon de cultiver. Symboles par excellence de l’agroécologie mais surtout de la permaculture (avec la poule), elles n’en sont pourtant qu’un élément parmi d’autres. Elles représentent l’antithèse du jardin à la papa : un espace riche et vivant, résistant à la sécheresse, à l’excès de pluie, un espace multidimensionnel extrêmement productif qui peut même être auto-fertile. L’observation et l’imitation de la Nature nous ouvre de nouvelles portes délivrées du travail du sol, des intrants chimiques et du pétrole, pour une agriculture non plate, non linéaire, vivante et qui crée de la fertilité. C’est Emilia Hazelipp qui semble avoir importé la culture sur butte en France. Mais quels sont les avantages de cette culture étrange qui demande pourtant un gros travail de mise en place? tout d’abord, elle évite de se baisser. J'aime :

7th Grader mimics Nature
13 year old copies Nature to Improve Solar Performance Thirteen year old Aidan Dwyer was walking in the woods in Upstate New York in the winter and noticed a spiral pattern to tree branches. Aidan realized the tree branches and leaves had a mathematical spiral pattern that could be shown as a fraction. After some research he also realized the mathematical fractions were the same numbers as the Fibonacci sequence. Aidan's backyard in Northport, NY. The 7th grader next wondered why nature used such a pattern? Aidan discovered that the Fibonacci pattern helps deciduous trees, in higher latitudes, efficiently track the Sun and collect the most sunlight even in the thickest forest, on the cloudiest days. The American Museum of Natural History has awarded Aidan a Young Naturalist Award for 2011. See the detailed description of his discoveries on the Museum's website: *www.amnh.org In late 2012, early 2013, Aidan builds a larger model: Share this page...

The 16 Best Healthy, Edible Plants to Grow Indoors
From farmers’ markets and Community Supported Agriculture, to urban farms and rooftop gardens, to produce delivery services, more and more people across the U.S. are embracing farm-fresh food. And for good reason: Locally grown produce tends to be better for the environment and for local communities than its store-bought counterparts. Growing food at home also ensures that growers know exactly where their food comes from and how it was grown (no need to worry about deceptive food labeling). If you’re not whipping out the pruning shears yet, consider this: Learning new skills is good for our brains.
