POPSBiggest Little Garden: Harvesting Your Backyard Thanks to tanyamm for alerting us to The "Biggest Little Garden" idea practiced in New Westminster, B.C. I hope by "clipping" it here the idea will be cloned and shamelessly copied around Canada, North America, and the world. Such a simple idea... deserves to be copied! /e

POPSCommon Wealth: Sustainable future We are in one another's faces as never before, crowded into an interconnected society of global trade, migration, ideas and, yes, risk of pandemic diseases, terrorism, refugee movements and conflict. We also face a momentous choice. Continue on our current course, and the world is likely to experience growing conflicts between haves and have-nots, intensifying environmental catastrophes and downturns in living standards caused by interlocking crises of energy, water, food and violent conflict. Yet for a small annual investment of world income, undertaken cooperatively across the world, our generation can harness new technologies for clean energy, reliable food supplies, disease control and the end of extreme poverty.

POPSHidden Kitchens (NCPR radio show) One of the benefits of being an early riser is that I get to hear some fantastic and totally different radio programming on CBC World Service overnight radio. This is an absolutely fascinating radio show about food. Some unique, unusual, really interesting food/eating stories from around the world by "The Kitchen Sisters".

POPS[MORE...] Food not Lawns: The website Lawns can be replaced with perpetually self-sustaining, thriving human habitats. Diverse environments with greenery, flowers, animals, birds. Sounds like a very palatable, enjoyable replacement for lawns -- those life sucking systems on permanent life support! Hey, maybe we could even turn grass clippings into fuel for automobiles??

POPSEthnic Food Yesterday, I got this hair-brained idea that a "calendaring" habit could improve the eating experience of hospital patients / institutional residents. What do you folks think? Do I need more sleep? Or is this something that just possibly might work?

POPSEat food. Not too much. Mostly plants I heard an interview with author, Michael Pollan, on CBC radio in the car last night. Either I was very receptive, or what he was saying made absolute simple sense which seemed to cut through all the BS about nutrition, health, etc. that we are bombarded with 24/7.
