Like most websites, we need a sustainable revenue model if we are to be sustainable as an offering. So, we thought we'd ask the smartest people on the site...you! Is there a service we could provide you that you would pay for? Or is there a customer group we should ...

I was listening to a lecture/conversation between Wes Jackson of the Land Institute and Wendell Berry this morning and the topic wandered to science and it's mandate. To paraphrase, science doesn't decide what's good, culture does that, within culture religion has largely had a monopoly on that word, that task, ...

Global Warming is definitely getting the attention of the masses, but is that happening at the expense of other environmental issues?

Here is one of my favorites, though apparently acknowledged to be one of his ...

What's behind this, then? "Parts of the Endangered Species Act may soon be extinct. The Bush administration wants federal agencies to decide for themselves whether highways, dams, mines and other construction projects might harm endangered animals and plants." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080811/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/bush_endangered_species_3

The Homestead will be putting in a large scale rain catchment system once we have our new roof (lots of leaks) on this summer. Ideally, I would be interested in a 1.5-2 story cylindrical holding tank to be placed outside near the house. I can't seem to find anything on ...

It has been known that phosphate has been bad for the environment for quite some time. Since 1977, the government has banned phosphate levels over 0.5 in laundry detergents. Why then, do Electrasol tabs contain 8.7% phosphate content? The gels have less, 4.9%, but still far more than the environmentally-safe ...
