Fine article as usual. Thanks for high...Hi Paul, <br /><br />Fine article as usual. Thanks for highlighting this important issue. The US gets about 5% of its oil from Nigeria - about the same amount that we get from Mexico or Venezuela. <br /><br />http://www.npr.org/2012/04/11/150444802/where-does-america-get-oil-you-may-be-surprised<br /><br />Oil production from Cantarell, Mexico's giant oil field, is falling rapidly. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Mexico<br /><br />I've seen a number of articles suggesting Mexico will cease exporting oil in the next few years. That's 5% of our oil. Never mind how morally compromised our Nigerian oil imports are, remember how vulnerable they are to insurgent disruption. And recall that the other major sources of our oil are vulnerable to their own unique threats, let alone geological depletion. <br /><br />It's time to start preparing for declining supplies of oil, whether it takes place sooner or later, gradually or abruptly. <br /><br />This year's ASPO Conference (Association for the Study of Peak Oil) will focus on reasonable preparations the US should take. http://aspousa.org/<br /><br />Dan Miner<br />www.beyondoilnyc.org <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dan Minerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007749533419038962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332772528167165351.post-35907138104903177582012-08-23T03:45:53.052-07:002012-08-23T03:45:53.052-07:00At the very first I would like to tell that you ha...At the very first I would like to tell that you have been shared a very beautiful collection of Urban Cultivator's pictures over here.

There's a cliche that says "It's Easy Being Green" but in reality nothing thoughtful and worth pursuing is easy without effort and good planning. I like the Wooly Pockets even for outdoor "walls" where all the complications of indoor growing are less problematic. I love your thought of us all "tending our gardens approprately"!. Words of wisdom indeed. <br />PaulPaul McGinnisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597274577419581029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332772528167165351.post-7886915402757785812010-06-29T14:17:00.747-07:002010-06-29T14:17:00.747-07:00The Wooley Pockets system looks great, and plants ...The Wooley Pockets system looks great, and plants are a welcome addition to most living spaces. However, as with any ecosystem there are elements which are beneficial to some, while possibly detrimental to others. Fungus and bacteria in the soils are essential for root systems and healthy plant growth. But soils not tended properly may become a reservoir for molds and bacteria (and viruses)which may be unhealthy for those having accute sensitivities to aeroallergens or who are immuno-compromised. Also, large quantities of soils in enclosed environments, such as sealed apartments may result in mold spores, plant pollens, fungus fragments, and bacteria being drawn into HVAC systems, leading to aeroallergen infestation of ductwork and humidifying equipment. Selecting the appropriate plants which are nontoxic to children & pets is also something to consider. Finally, keep an eye on your potting soils, as there are other critters in the food web who may be happy to be there, but not make you happy to know they are there. However, this shouldn't discourage the use of plant growing systems such as Wooley Pockets, just make sure you understand all of the characteristics of your "urban jungle" and tend your garden appropriately.<br /><br />BrianBrian Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995143507754200883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332772528167165351.post-36811519332304972332010-01-31T09:41:26.815-08:002010-01-31T09:41:26.815-08:00Hey Going With the Flow!

They are based in New York State up near Troy, New York, not far from where I live in Ulster County. The company grew out of experimentation done by two students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. They are also making packaging from agricultural waste materials called EcoCradle. I've been meaning to call them up to do a story because I've been following them for a few years since they first appeared in the green space. Check them out:http://www.ecovativedesign.com.<br />Thanks for the dialog, PaulPaul McGinnisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597274577419581029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332772528167165351.post-70206414660806574592010-01-31T07:00:54.583-08:002010-01-31T07:00:54.583-08:00Paul, have you heard of Greensulate yet? Greensula...Paul, have you heard of Greensulate yet? Greensulation is a renewable and biodegradable fire retardant insulation created with sustainable resources: mostly rice hulls, mushroom roots and recycled paper. Able to withstand heat up to 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit, it contains no petroleum products and can be produced cheaply. It can be molded into just about any shape...panels, brace end forms, columns, etc. When crumbled and supersaturated with water, the product naturally decomposes. Its inventors, Ecovative Design, LLC, are setting up production facilities on Green Island, New York.Going with the flowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621422265292593534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332772528167165351.post-67260058795132614132009-12-07T10:54:03.035-08:002009-12-07T10:54:03.035-08:00Wow, Paul, thanks for this thoughtfully written bl...Wow, Paul, thanks for this thoughtfully written blog post.
