The
Pros of Worm Composting
Finally, they found a new way to make use of
worms aside from being the main dish in Fear Factor. Some of us may have
goosebumps with the sight of creepy crawlies—it’s often more than enough to
give any average person the heebie jeebies. But on the up side, they have been
known to help cultivate the environment for a long time. It is really no
surprise to find that they play a vital role in the whole composting process.
Some of you might think that worm composting
is not really such as good idea. But before you banish the idea of those red
crawlies helping save the environment, take a break, open your mind and hear
out some of the advantages of the now-becoming-popular worm composting
technique.
Advantage
Number 1: Flexible: Indoors or Outdoors, Take Your Pick
Whether you want to have your worm compost
indoors or outdoors, it does not really matter. You can have them on either or
on both areas. The good thing is that you won't even have to sweat around too
much with your worm compost. They are relatively easy to transport and are
non-complaining workers that will till your compost day in and day out, for
relatively no charge. You only have to feed them to keep them in top
condition.
Advantage
Number 2: All it needs is moist bedding
Worms like moisture, and having moisture is
one of the easiest components of composting. If you are able to provide the
moisture, you only have to wait and see until the worms do their wonders in
helping you have more fertilized soil.
Advantage
Number 3: Worms are readily available and are not that hard to cultivate.
In some areas, you need not look for worms.
You only have to get a jar and focus your eyes while walking in the garden.
Sometimes, you need not go out of the house and you can find them sauntering in
your bathroom (rich in moisture, remember?). So the good thing is that they
will not really resist you if you put them in a cage rich with food.
Advantage
Number 4: Aside from the yuck factor, the worms will happily do the work; you
only have to regulate them.
You will act more as a worm manager than a
laborer, really. After you put on the heap and the worms together, you will do
very minimal work for so much positive results. You can also get a lot of
support from governments and people worldwide regarding this aspect. In fact,
in some American communities, it is already being implemented and widely
promoted to have worm composting in the home.
Advantage
Number 5: Mobile bins will not affect the worms' performance.
Another thing with the worm composting that
other composting techniques don't have is the mobility. You can take it with
you anywhere, assuming that you have small scale composting on your sleeve
(industrial size worm composting isn't really a lovely idea, anyway).

Revolutionary Fish Hatchery Reduces Toxins
•Ontario man pioneers new way of raising healthier fish while conserving
water, lessening pollution in waterways
By Mark Anderson
An Ontario resident has created a revolutionary fish hatchery
technology that can, among other things, produce healthy fish for people to eat
while conserving water and reducing pollution that is typically dumped into
waterways in more traditional methods. Despite using one-tenth of the
groundwater as is used by government hatcheries, John Devine’s system has long
been ignored and suppressed by those in big corporate media and government, much
to the detriment of human health, the food supply and the economy.
At a time when droughts have been particularly severe, typical “open”
(water in, water out), traditional fish hatcheries extract a whopping 2K
gallons of water per minute from aquifers.
“Hatcheries need clean water; you cannot use surface water,” said
Devine. This is largely due to the fact that surface water is contaminated with
man-made or naturally occurring pollutants.
But the closed-loop system used by Devine, along with his son, Mark,
draws water from the aquifer at a much slower rate, since 90% of what is taken
in is carefully cleaned and recycled back to the fish, so they can continue to
thrive.
A growing number of employers are willing to
use home-based employees, assuming those employees have access to a phone,
computer and high-speed Internet connection. That's good news for people with
disabilities or who are caring for children or an elderly relative or who live
in an area where jobs are scarce. It's also good news for people who could find
work outside the home but prefer to spend more time with their families and
less time sitting in traffic.

All Students ‘Chipped’
Just outside of San Antonio, Texas, an honor student has stepped out of

Northside Independent School District (NISD). The program would compel 4,200
pupils in John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School to wear radio
frequency identification (RFID) microchips embedded in the student IDs worn

Can We Protect the Country from
Politicians?
Today, the federal government has acquired an all but unquestioned
dominance over virtually every area of American life. It acts without
constitutional limits and increasingly regulates our most basic activities,
from how much water is in our toilets to what kind of light bulbs we can buy.
Decades worth of bad decisions by members of all three branches of government have brought our country to the brink of disaster.
So while we face many challenges, the most difficult task ahead—and the most important—is to restore constitutional limits on government
