Green Medley : tomatoes, cooking with a shaman, solar webinars
| TomatoFest - Leaders in Organic Seed |
| 
TomatoFest Tomato Seeds have been organic from the start... when there were only a very few seed sources providing organic seeds.
As
consumer attention and demand for healthier treatment of our land and
bodies has grown, so too has the movement of many seed providers to
offer a selection, if not a complete inventory, of organic seeds for
gardeners and commercial farmers.
The world will likely be facing
a food crisis in the future. Many of the foods we currently enjoy are
disappearing. By choosing to garden and grow some of your own foods you
are assuming an important role in an evolving, transformative world
consciousness toward a more responsible stewardship of the planet.
Dagma
and I encourage you to support the sustainability of our Earth and our
crops by supporting individuals and businesses that support this vital
movement.
Please encourage your children, family and friends to
enjoy the pleasures of seed saving. A healthy food source for our
children is asking this of us.

More on chemtrails
Well, if there ever
was a doubt that something unnatural is happening in our skies, perhaps
the photo gallery below will convince you otherwise. These pictures
were taken in Palm Springs on January 4th and 5th, 2011.
If you missed the PSGS special "chemtrail" edition for basic background info, you can view it here.
California Skywatch watchdog exposes how clandestine NASA-military programs are poisoning the environment, food and water supply
Paul Joseph Watson
Saturday, December 4, 2010
Rosalind Peterson of California Skywatch was a certified U.S.D.A. Farm
Service Agency Crop Loss Adjustor working in more than ten counties
throughout California. She now spearheads a watchdog group that
monitors uncontrolled experimental weather modification programs,
atmospheric heating and testing programs, and ocean and atmospheric
experimental geoengineering programs. Peterson is at the forefront of
the chemtrail research field and how the unexplained patterns that scar
our skies are “causing detrimental human health effects and
environmental degradation.”

If you are curious or
concerned, PSGS suggests that you attend the screening of the new
documentary on this subject "What in the World are they
Spraying?"
We cannot be the guinea
pigs of geo-engineering programs and just sit, get sprayed on, and
watch our skies get hazed over, can we?

Video of the week
The Food and Climate Connection:
From Heating the Planet to Healing it
|
Posted on the Slow Food USA blog:
How we farm and eat is simultaneously one of the greatest contributors to climate change and one of its greatest potential solutions.
The same global food system that is making us sick, increasing food
insecurity, and polluting the environment is also contributing to
climate change. Climate change, in turn, is contributing to rising
rates of hunger and food insecurity. As much as 1/3 of greenhouse gas
emissions come from the food system.
Want to know more about that?
WHY Hunger has released a brand new online film called “The Food and Climate Connection: From Heating the Planet to Healing It,” that
highlights the impact of today’s global food system on the climate and
how a community-based food movement around the world is bringing to life
a way of farming and eating that’s better for our bodies and the
planet. Featuring interviews with farmers, community leaders, and
sustainability advocates, the film highlights how the industrial food
system is among the greatest contributors to global warming and how
sustainable farming practices can pose a powerful solution to the
crisis.
| 
The movie was done in collaboration with Anna Lappe, author of the recently released “Diet for a Hot Planet,”
which also explores this crucial intersection between how we grow and
transport our food and how that affects the planet—not to mention how
the changes in our environment willl affect the way we grow and
transport our food moving forward.

Prior "Work with the planet, not against it!" postings:
For
millions of years life on Earth has persisted and evolved in concert
with the chemical, physical and biological processes in the
environment. The advent of the Age of Liquid Fossil Fuels brought
humanity the ability to jump start and force-march many of these
processes at terrible cost to the planet's environmental viability. In
the waning days of the Oil Age, it is time for humanity to relearn the
lessons of the past tens of thousands of years of civilization: life,
human and otherwise, on Planet Earth can recover and maintain its
viability and sustainability only as we rediscover working WITH this
planet's environment, animate and inanimate, not against it!" John Cooper
