This YouTube documentary takes a pretty positive view of a greener future with economic prosperity. http://www.youtube.com/user/greenman3610#p/a/u/0/pSdnycHfLnQ
I recommend any of the films that have been made by Peter Sinclair, aka greenman3610 th…
The problem with skiing in southern Indiana is that you have to drop what you are doing to ski before it melts. Bloomington has a 2 inch base with 4 inches of talcum fine powder on top of that. Just enough for the logging roads in the State Forest…
Sorry for the slow response Kent. The sun warns your face the same way that it warms the Earth, with it's light. Light is a small percentage of the entire "specturm" Electro Magnetic Radiation. EMR interacts with matter in a variety of ways. Ultravi…
Thanks for your kind words Cara.
I suppose that we all need to do some critical thinking about credibility. I regularly follow links and read the references for relevance on posts that seem suspect. I sometimes Google the author of the supplied lin…

OH Mark - that is really really great - the premise is about our fresh waters here in Indiana - I grew up with a grandfather that was a fisherman - he supplied local establishments with catfish every week - now the river I grew up on - the fish are so contaminated that they can't be eaten. Plus much much more shady stuff happening with the waters - prozac in our drinking water?!?! Maybe we can get together next week and have tea or coffee and talk - My band just reformulated - soo I'm not throwing the official name out until I run it by the guys - So Happy to meet you Cheers Much Love JONES
