Rocket Mass Heater might be of interest.  
Its a simple, super-efficient, woodstove that

money and pollution.  Like a poor-man’s

Kids typically need half of their calories to come from lunch and for far too many, school lunch is a primary source of nutrition. Many students are overweight or obese and yet fruits and vegetables are not found in most school lunches.  Sprayed, processed and preserved factory foods, low in nutrition but high in starch, fats and sugar are most common in public school food chains.

Today’s supermarket food travels an average of 1500 miles from industrial systems dependent on large quantities of cheap fossil fuels and pesticides.  But as consumers learn more about the disastrous hidden costs and health effects of big Ag and processed foods, the infrastructure for local food networks is being rebuilt community by community. When folks understand the multiple dynamics of local food, including its connection to climate change, support for it is growing in communities across the US.

		<title>GDR: Junk Mail</title>
		<itunes:author>Good Dirt Radio</itunes:author>
		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[For most people, paper junk mail is a nuisance and a waste of air cleaning trees. Americans cut down over 100 million CO2 absorbing trees each year just for junk mail and that which is not recycled, ends up in a landfill or incinerator, creating a massive amount of greenhouse gases.  Burning fossil fuels for the paper, ink, printing and transportation for over 100 billion pieces a year, puts around 50 billion metric tons of CO2 into our fragile atmosphere.   Junk mail's impact is equivalent to the energy used, and pollution from, over 9 million cars or heating 13 million homes through an average US winter.  Not only is junk mail a direct cause of climate changing pollution but sorting, reading and recycling it can take up to 8 months of your life.  Sure, it's often informative for a few, but… the enormous volume of paper junk mail is adversely affecting the biosphere. How can we take steps to reduce unwanted junk mail and how might that reduce climate-changing pollution? Join us to hear about services that can stop your junk mail and help the biosphere.]]></itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Its no secret that motor vehicles cause major amounts of air pollution. NASA’s Goddard Institute states that the combined US transport sector burns about 138 billion gallons of oil into our finite air space each year and is one of the world’s biggest sources of pollution.   Its easy to forget  but there is a direct connection between driving and the changing climate.  We drive about 3 trillion miles each year emitting over 350 million metric tons of CO2…enough carbon to fill a coal trail 55,000 miles long... long enough to encircle the Earth twice.

But one person with a clear vision of sustainability and how ecosystem-based designs can save resources, money and time… is our friend Gunter Pauli.  Gunter is a pioneer in Zero Emissions who consults internationally on environmental solutions. He's an entrepreneur, visionary writer and member of the Club of Rome who speaks 7 languages.  His latest book,The Blue Economy, illustrates how in ten years... just 100 innovations could create 100 million jobs, leaving popular, often expensive ‘green’ concepts in the dust.  Join us to find out how common sense and interconnected solutions can turn vast amounts of waste into abundant resources while reducing pollution.]]></itunes:summary>

Most factory farms rely on the concentrated use of fossil fuels, toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers that poison the environment and our bodies.   Meanwhile, organic gardening proponents, working from the sidelines, are seeing a resurgence in the art of growing healthy, local food.

In the process, they’re also gaining an understanding of the natural limits of the biosphere.
