Is Solar Power Actually Sustainable?
This isn’t a question of the sustainability of the power source, ie., the sun. Obviously, there’s no concerns there. But the sun’s radiative energy doesn’t just spontaneously provide power to switch on the lights, it requires some pretty specific, technical hardware. And one thing we all understand, is that anything we humans produce has a usage expiration date. So today, let’s take a look at solar power and sustainability.

Read moreFarming Part 2: Sustainable and Regenerative Agriculture
Last week we discussed some of the problems with industrial agriculture. As the name implies, it’s all about doing things on a bigger scale, to obtain more of the thing we need: food. On the other hand, sustainable farming draws on a variety of different techniques, and its goal is to produce long-term crops while having minimal effects on the environment, and using resources more efficiently. But there’s a step even further, which is, arguably, what we should be aiming for, and that’s regenerative agriculture.
Read moreFarming: The Good and the Bad Part 1
Today is part one in a 2 part mini-series on agriculture. We’ll be exploring the old and industrial methods versus the new and regenerative methods of food production, to see which route we should be taking into the future. So come with us down to the farm and learn about these different approaches aiming for the same outcome – food production and profit.
