Environmentalism Includes Waste Management

Waste Management Software can be a strong part of your environmental practice. Global warming theory may be lots of fun, but recycling and the proper environmental management of waste is much more important on a day to day basis.

Waste Management Software can provide your waste management industry needs. It doesn't cost much and you get it entirely online. Wastedge provides you with the invoicing of regular and one time customers as well as scheduling and tracking. You get mapping and GPS to help keep track of all your garbage pickups. It's paradise under the dashboard lights, with an embedded chip in every truck. It costs about $300 to embed the chip in each truck, but after that it is only $1-a-day to get complete GPS tracking of the truck, which makes for the best waste management.

Harlem, the Four Powers are Getting Near

Harlem, can the United States join the Four Powers agreement, with Russia, China and India? It is possible, despite problems with the Obama crowd. This is coming with the Russia, China agreement to allow China to invest large parts of its $800 billion in dollar reserves in direct investment in Russia including Siberia and the Far East. LaRouche going to the Rhodes Conference was key in this and people like Yakunin, the head of the Russian Railways corporation. That helped bring the Prime Minister Putin agreements with China. Now it is time for the USA to go for a credit dollar for huge infrastructure policies.

On to colonize the Moon and Mars. Mine Helium-3 on the Moon. And eat hydroponic food. Global Warming fears will be transformed by nuclear and fusion power, including for spacecraft to the other planets.

Bronx Goes for Recycling Garbage Kiosks

Bronx Borough President Diaz Jr. willannounce the purchase and installation of 15 BigBelly Solar Compactor/Recycling Kiosks. See the event Monday Oct 26th at the Bronx Museum of Art 1040 Grand Concourse, at 9:30 am, free and open to the public. These solar powered compactors are supposed to make it easier for the garbage trucks. They are designed to reduce global warming, greenhouse gases produced by garbage trucks by eliminating truck journeys by as much as 80%. A BigBelly Compactor will be in display during the event.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. will host the second meeting of the New York State Intergovernmental Energy Partnership (NYS IEP), a group founded by Diaz Jr., Congressman Steve Israel (NY02), the Mayor of Syracuse Matt Driscoll, and NYS Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito, to unite elected officials from throughout the state in moving New York forward as an “Advanced Energy Center.”


This second meeting will provide Bronx-based businesses with information about how to have access to federal resources, details on funding still available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, as well as New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) funding streams. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has already made $313 million available to our state.

Global Warming Action

Global Warming has already had a devastating effect on our planet. Rising tides, forest fires, drought, glacial melt and a variety of other natural disasters directly linked to climate change can be seen on scales never before documented. The clock is ticking for strong, binding and immediate international legislation to preserve the sanctity of our Earth and protect those who call it home.

In the count-down to the U.N. Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen this December, it is crucial that we send a clear message to decision makers. President Obama and other world leaders have a responsibility to take decisive action before time runs out.

That’s where you come in:
On October 24, 2009, the International Day of Climate Action will take place. In over 140 countries, 350.org and a coalition of partner groups will join together with people all over the world. Over1700 actions will take place letting decision makers in Copenhagen know that the people demand real change! It is up to YOU to you to be the change we wish to see.
So where will you be on 10/24? Find your local event at 350.org, and unite with your community for a safe, green future. Come one, come all and fight for the sustainability of our Earth.

Build the Environment with Infrastructure

Some people in Russia and China realize that for a better environment, we need to build infrastructure. Green jobs don't produce enough, and will kill people, especially if it gets beyond a small fringe operation. Putin went to China to have long-term development contracts, which would be bi-national in certain projects within eastern Russia. So, that's quite an interesting development.” The USA has to get in on the act.

LaRouche said that he “had a foretaste of what the issues were, that were going to be discussed in that diplomatic meeting,” during his participation at the World Public Forum - Dialogue of Civilizations, which was wrapping up in Rhodes, Greece, just as the Beijing talks got under way. In his own presentation at the Rhodes Forum, LaRouche noted, he had warned about the impact on China of a cheapening of the U.S. dollar. At the same time, he added, China faces high unemployment, in the face of which “the tendency on the part of China is to say, well, we'll just move in and take territory in Russia; we'll just take our poor and send them over there, and they'll become farmers in Russia or something.” With the new package of agreements, oriented to bilateral infrastructure development, LaRouche said, “That was not done. What was done by this agreement was quite different.”

The USA has to go with scientific progress and real economics, not fake montarism. Colonize the Moon and Mars and mine Helium-3 for fusion power on the moon, for a great environment. Global Warming will be stopped, if it exists, by going with fusion energy.

Urban Homesteading News

A new trend goes beyond food that’s "known-grown" (knowing where your food came from) and reconnects people with their food - something we as a culture have moved further and further away from in the past century. This practice of urban farms and gards is quite popular in the South Bronx, even though the area has recovered. Lots of burned out land was turned into urban gardens.

According to urban homesteaders and authors Kelly and Erik Davis who maintain the blog Homegrown Revolution, “An urban homesteader is someone who enjoys living in the city, but doesn't see why that should stop her from engaging directly with nature, growing her own food, and striving for self-sufficiency.”

An interesting idea is to conserve water in the gardening as well. Gray water recycling uses non-toilet wastewater from a home and uses it for garden irrigation. It is necessary to install a gray water recycling system. Alternately, urban homesteaders often use drip irrigation, where a specialized system slowly drips water onto the roots of plants, and reduces water waste by not watering non-growth areas of plants. In both cases, the idea is to reduce environmental impact and waste.

The Dervaes family, who created the web site Path to Freedom, believes that with this lifestyle, “we are beginning to feel a real sense of independence. We are earning our freedom through the soil.”


See Path to Freedom, Homegrown Revolution, The Urban Homesteader and Urban Homesteading. So you can live on a farm in the city, strange?

Speculation on the Environment

Be wary of this push for a Carbon market based on licenses to burn carbon and produce CO2. We see what is going on with the gold market right now. Many people are selling their excess gold as the price hits $1050. Where can you sell gold in NY? Well, Manhattan Gold Buyers Albert and Sons Jewelry INC is located in New York City’s Diamond District Specializes in buying gold in New York. Albert and Sons is family owned and operated and has been in business in NYC for over 20 years. If the same thing happens to Carbon futures, this means that many human beings will be affected. Will we be able to afford to stay alive in this environment?

What does Climate Change Treaty Cost?

Can we have a no CO2 world? It's absurd. No CO2 is a bad trip, since we as human beings manufacture CO2 and exhale it all the time. I don't think so. Now from the NYT on the upcoming Copenhagen summit this December:

The price tag for a new climate agreement will be a staggering $100 billion a year by 2020, many economists estimate; some put the cost at closer to $1 trillion. ......
This financing is an essential part of any international climate agreement, negotiators and scientists say, because developing nations must curb the growth of their emissions if the world is to limit rising temperatures. Based on calculations by the International Energy Agency for 2005 to 2030, 75 percent of the growth in energy demand will come from the developing world.

Comment: It's all the third world's fault again. Back to British colonialism. What is the rush anyway. This is a hedge fund speculation game. They will make billions and trillions. They hire science fiction writers to tell you we will all burn up unless we do what the hedgies say.

Moving to Montana Soon, to Grow Dental Floss

I was thinking about moving to Montana soon, to farm and grow Dental Floss. At least that was the old song by Frank Zappa. However, some of us seem to want to move to Afghanistan to grow dental floss. As for the war in Afghanistan, can anyone still remember what that was about? Al Qaeda had some cousins in the Al Talibanis, and that means that we had to go --- Get that guy. It seems weird. And these people like Arriana Huffington are going to save the environment?

Arriana had a twit about this--- Arianna Huffington: As Newsweek's cover story on Biden makes clear, the vice president has long opposed escalating in Afghanistan. So if the president decides to escalate, Biden, for the good of the country, should escalate his willingness to act on his "deep reservations" and resign. Generations to come will be grateful if he does, instead of following the pattern of "opposition" we've become all-too-accustomed to.

Comment- She knows not what she does, but maybe Queen Victoria can tell her.

Vegetable Liberation League

Don't you hate the idea of wasting food? Wouldn't you like to liberate some vegetables from the garbage can? Veggie Trader has the answer. Just celebrating the five month mark, this internet swap site lets you know what’s growing behind others’ garden gates and connects those with produce to spare with others who want it.

Veggie Trader works in a Craigslist like format with members post up listings of the produce they have to sell or trade. The two parties then make their own arrangements to meet and swap goods. Location is the bottom line for trading to be practical, so sign up requires a zip code. It's sort of like the real estate market, location, location location. This puts new meaning into the phrase --hey mom what's for dinner? Or that could be dad, if mom works more than dad, and that happens a lot these days.

What to do with 300 Theater Seats

What would you do with 300 solid wood theater seats if you got them or could buy them cheaply? That is what is now available at the Rebuilders Source in the South Bronx, 461 Timpson Place, NY. Also not that their blog has moved to Rebuilders Source Blog. That's probably a lot easier to find in the google search engine results. Perhaps someone in the New York City area is setting up a big theater. Alternatively, people may want to buy one row and put them in their house in a big family room. I'd hate if the Rebuilders Source guys have to take these things apart and use them for the lumber. It sure isn't being green and for the environment.

Rebuilders Source on TV

Take a look, Rebuilders Source, our green recycling friends are on TV on Channel 7 in NY. These people should be very busy by now, down at 461 Timpson Place, near East 149th St, Southern Blvd, in the South, South South Bronx. By the way I also got to the show on Friday night at the Bronx Museum, where the First Friday shows are where the wild and crazy hip-hop and movie shorts never stop.

Store Coupons for Saving

Check out some Company Store coupons. Save the environment and save money with coupons. There are some great online savings at the Company Store. For parents, check out the soft jersey knit onesie for your infant. This beautiful garment is down to a price of $12.00. I think that shopping online is actually very good for the environment. Goods do have to be delivered, but you don't have the additional expense of a company having to maintain a brick and mortar store. Furthermore, you don't have to drive to the shopping mall, all the goods get delivered together in the UPS or Fedex truck. So overall, it is quite efficient.

I also liked the wide selection of bed and bath goods available at the Company Store. Pillow protectors have various prices based on size, but cotton pillow protectors start at only $4.99, which is a good deal. No wonder I heard somehow singing that "I owe my soul to the Company Store."

Video on the Green Workers Coop

Here's a video on Green Workers Coop, a non-profit organization. Their big project is the Rebuilders Source at 461 Timpson Place, South Bronx, near the Bruckner Expwy., E 149th St and Southern Blvd. Rebuilders deals with second hand construction and other home and business construction material. Omar Freilla says he is really for worker ownership. Janco Damas, one of the current board of directors of Rebuilders is fighting for sustainable business and sustainable living. Reuse, and dispose in a responsible way. Environmentalism has turned into the very practical Green Coop Academy, to make your business vision become real. Omar calls it the Green Republic of the South Bronx. Another person in Green Workers Coop is Sonia Pichardo, Coordinator. Rounding out the board at Rebuilders are Joel Frank and Jerome Villanueva.
