About me
Business intelligence analyst, taxonomies expert, woodland owner, cyclist.
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks is the first vital step towards the collaborative creation of a new level of metaknowledge enabling people to better understand the big picture. The next step is to use multifaceted taxonomies as the intellectual tools for collecting and organising the evidence on which metaknowledge is based.

Is a Big Hunk of Steak Worth Almost 2,000 Gallons of Water?
JICWyllie
by JICWyllie  7-2-2008    1
 It takes a lot of oil and electricity to pump that water around and that is becoming much more expensive, while clean water is becoming scarce.

 The supermarket business model which relies on making profits from 'adding value for the consumer' with ready made, convenience foods is ill-suited to times of high food inflation, when people are more likely to cook and grow their own.

An epidemic of extinctions: Decimation of life on earth
JICWyllie
by JICWyllie  5-17-2008   
 Oil + economic growth = over-population + record extinctions. Humans will make themselves extinct, too, as life support systems are destroyed.

Survey shows rise in U.S. honey bee deaths

by JICWyllie  5-7-2008   
 From a selfish (human-centred) point of view, here's another reason why food prices will continue to rise at an accelerating rate. From the point of view of the bees, it must be even worse.

Let them eat spuds: the world's new staple

 Anybody can grow them in their garden. They are much prettier than grass and the loosen up the soil for the next crop. And with 5,000 varieties, they should be out of reach of the biotech industry. Indeed, they are the perfect recession / depression crop. Also, once you start growing potatoes, you start growing other food, too.

In Lean Times, Biotech Grains Are Less Taboo
JICWyllie
by JICWyllie  4-21-2008   
 See how the media misguide. Biotechnology reduces yields, it does not increase them. Go to yesterday's clip on the subject which proves that the biotech companies have no case when it comes to increasing agricultural productivity. The only case is for increasing their profits.

 There you are! A real hard-headed reason to dis-invest in GM technology, rather than unproven fears that it will cause some kind of unforeseen environmental catastrophe.

 Yesterday, I clipped an article which said that companies are now racing to build a new generation of nuclear power plants which run hotter than the current plants and presumably need more water cooling. See http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/5B26C257-ADD3-4612-B223-68AD4FAF8A8A/
