Our guest today has graciously taken time out of his busy, busy fall schedule. He just finished hauling all the large pumpkins for the great pumpkin carve up there in Chadds Ford. PA... and he’s here today to talk about growing locally, eating locally, and selling locally. A lot of you may have picked up some of his corn and vegetables at roadside stands in and around Wilmington and in Hockessin. I am happy to have an old friend here, H. G. Haskell from SIW Vegetables.
H G has a lot of information for us today and he will probably cover a little more ground than just the soil he makes his living from.
1. Introduce HG..... and then you want to read this story about why it's important to talk about eating correctly and eating the best foods is not just a good idea but is becoming more and more necessary for the health of ourselves and our children bear with me while I read this next story and lead writing to wear one aged talk about growing locally picking up local produce sporting a local farmers saving all that extra gas as it takes to ship those products across country and fly them in.
2. nearly 35% of American children ages six to 19 are overweight half of those some 11 million children are so overweight their classified as obese. Over the last 25 years the obesity rate has doubled for young children and has tripled for teenagers as a result diseases once associated only with adults such as type 2 diabetes high blood pressure and even cirrhosis of the liver on the rise among children if the trend in childhood obesity continues experts predict that over the next few decades that will cut as much as five years off the average American's lifespan are kids said California health official Dr. Jason Everhart Phillips quote belong to the first generation of Americans life expectancy could well be shorter than that of their parents"
The epidemic of overeating is a prime contributor to the nation soaring health-care tab the nation now spends an estimated 177 billion a year on obesity related health care, $.83 of every health care dollar. Enough said.
Diet seems to be only half of the problem the other half is that kids are burning fewer calories because they're exercising less. Instead of running around outside riding bicycles, or playing sports in the park were in the street, young people today spend most of their time indoors, surfing the web, playing video games, and chatting on cell phones. Kids now spend nearly 4 hours a day watching TV or videos one hour and 44 minutes listening to music and at least one hour using the computer. Enough said

October 26, 2007 research on a dire problem carbon capture, and I quote, “without carbon capture and sequestration we are all toast”. Wow, I'm not even sure what sequestration is, but let's see if we can understand it a little better. Chang Lin, a scientist with the China sustainable energy program and the Berkeley Lab issued that gloomy proclamation earlier this week, and it's a fitting description of the current world situation when it comes to global warming. To make it worse, Lin added that the world is not responding to the challenge well… at least not yet.
We have invested in deep research or spend much money in testing out the scenarios he said there are a lot of uncertainties
Still, it's not over yet and the University of Texas this week announced it has received a $38 million grant to study the feasibility of injecting carbon dioxide into Brine filled underground wells over a 10 year period.
Sequestration is the storage of the carbon dioxide that we're going to be capturing so that it doesn't go back into the atmosphere and create global warming. So if we produce carbon dioxide we have to have a place to put it so worried an opponent where it will get into the atmosphere. Looks like a bit of using old empty wells to inject the carbon dioxide and to liquids that will hold and keep it from escaping into the atmosphere.
The Texas project is part of the Southeast regional carbon sequestration partnership funded by the national energy technology laboratory of the Department of Energy their goal is to study carbon dioxide injection and storage capacity at the Tuscaloosa Woodbine geological that stretches from Texas to Florida region has the potential to store more than 200,000,000,000 tons of this guest which the department says is equal to about 33 years of admissions beginning in the fall of 2008 SECARB scientists will start to inject 1,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year into a Brian reservoir near Natchez Mississippi the brine is up to 10,000 feet below the surface in some ways the US is in Saudi Arabia of gaping holes more in the future.
- So How did we get so Isolated.... The Car? I think yes... and some other things, I think the individualism deepened with the advent of the TV and also with more of an emphasis on personal mobility, individual travel options, and the individual accumulation of things for personal amusement. And I'm not saying that any of this is bad, I'm not judging it at all, what I am saying is that I think the direction that the popular culture has taken us whether intentioned or not is in one of isolation in part from the people who live closest to us. And it cost us in dollars and cents plus more. And this consequent cost of this individuation has been higher than any of us could have calculated. I know we can argue this but I think that in a lot of cases this may be true. So without extended families around us we've lost touch with a much larger closer group that we used to hang out with and rely on and work with in order to reduce the cost of living for all.
So in this vein we are encouraging people to get together in their communities and neighborhoods and start organizing around saving energy. The neighborhood website should be finished soon and available as a template to do so.
We will be talking about other ways to organize, have fun deepen your relationships with your neighbors have potluck supper's and reduce your personal energy consumption and costs by getting together with your neighbors. Just like they used to do in the good old days.
And don’t forget… recycle, conserve, and share…
And use technology!
