I overheard a conversation this week. The person speaking was denying climate change. The basis for his argument was that in the ’80s we were warned about acid rain, in the 90’s it was worries about a hole in the ozone layer, and now it's trendy to scare us about climate change.

Being raised in a low-income family has shaped the way I see the world, partly for the better but also for the worse. On the one hand, it gave me a strong tendency to seek out value in things that others didn’t necessarily see.

In 2003, I was working at Asessippi ski hill when a co-worker mentioned that a friend of his was planning to build a straw bale house. Amazed at the idea, I asked whether that was really possible. Until that moment, I didn’t believe that houses could be any different than the wood, plastic & vinyl boxes that I knew so well.

Farmers that do not use tillage are called zero tillers. They typically use herbicides to control their weeds. Organic farmers choose not to use herbicides but use tillage instead to control their weeds.
David Rourke, a farmer in Minto, Manitoba, has declared that he is trying to not use herbicides or tillage to farm. He is even saying that he isn’t going to use fossil fuels to farm. His farm is not small. David seeds 6,000 acres every spring.
