Food sustainability-
One possibility that exists is growing "paletable" meat-type food products out
of vegetable enzymes or bacteria culture with original texture of chicken
and steak. Vegetable proteins and enzymes catalyzed to make a solution
could be one option. The possibility of growing meat from enzyme
or bacteria sources "brings to light" an unquestionably good sustainable
food source with no resource waste.

Sustainable Community Gardening-
Localized, community-based, organic gardening is a important part of good
communities. Commercial farming has a large negative soil impact on the environment,
uses toxic pesticides degrades soil bases so severely they are unsuable or "non-arable" for many years afterwards, undermines
valuable land and ability to grow new organic (non-commercial (no combines)) gardens without proper bio-degrading, rotting
and compostable nutrient-rich waste. Community gardens have less environmental impact, utilize resources efficiently,
and bring gardeners together to grow good food and prevent
unecessary foreign species contamination. Proper composting is vital to renew soil
bases. There are many ways to store and transport food, try natural
sustainable options, carts, pails.

Food & Meat Industry
-Wastes 96 billion pounds of food each year in the United States.

Vegan Diet
---There are many animal based additives in store products so eating 100% vegan is an accomplishment.
Things to do when quitting eating meat.
1. Quit gradually if you can.
2. Be aware, beef has unnatural hormones in it.
3. Beware of "limp gut", or a weak stomach when quitting. A lot of times stomach strength might be enhanced by the the meat proteins but cause atrophy or lameness when you stop.
4. You might experience a weak stomach and bowels that are less active and work slowly "dead feeling".
5. Beware of burning sensation in gut, could lead to bowel pain.

1st time quitting meat-eating, I noticed a "limp gut" or "dead belly", stomach strength atrophied and felt lame. so-called="lilly liver", felt weak.
2nd time quitting meat-eating, I noticed a deep "lump in the throat" and hallucinations when overexerting when tired (only for the extremist).

My system seems more active and to work quieter not eating meat, it shouldn't necessarily be so because meat is harvested it is only muscle protein, be careful you never know what you are getting when are eating meat. If you are a meat-eater, get USDA prime beef, no unnatural hormones and sustainable ranching techniques. One day a week, 3 meals is sustainable diet.
Quitting eating meat immediately is not for everyone, get perspective on
meat industry and quit if you can. Slaughterhouse pictures might
offer perspective on the meat industry. There could quite possibly be
laws in some countries (including USA) against using animals for food, most importantly, do not discriminate.
A sustainable food base is vitally important, necessary to survival
and a self-sufficient community and evolution.

Composting

Composting your food waste is equally important. It makes rich fertilizer for your garden, preserves garbage from landfills and proper food for beneficial garden animals. Local organic food supply averts areas from foreign seed and the embodied energy used to transport out-of-area products is lessened, more efficient and forges strong village ethics. Enlightenment and insight to new alternatives from local source. Centralized indoor gardens also might utilize reflective lighting and "passive" ventilation.

Preservation of nature
Preservation of nature means eliminating confusion of and myths concerning gaining wisdom from nature itself. Natures symbols could be eliminated as they only add to confusion and "native "superstition"". No unordinary wisdom or insight can be gained from nature for too many misconceptions undermine its stark natural beauty. Only to look, walk amongst, and experience the sights, sound, and survive on the planet and respect nature through self-suffiency and ethical practice. Strict preservation laws must be forged and maintained to clean any evidence of "native nature-attached or nature-based symolism, or likeness teaching ("he is fast, like the fox").
Past symbols of nature must be destroyed, "Kahuna" "totem poles" "catholisism" and religious symbols must be destroyed to free nature and the environment, using these for protection purposes is a losing and encumbering practice. We must break down native myths and symbols, local misconceptions and myths regarding non-existent "animals or monsters" and other unnecessary native ideas in order to create one single humanity and preserve the environment, to teach the children co-existence, and to provide outlets to travel worldwide as individuals through based ethics and practice as wee are all meant to do, explore our earth, and learn as we walk. Remaining to regard a natural environment seek what is to live for, achieve and move onward.
--Animal preservation
--Intentively separate any possible control of nature and human animal "relationship"
--Preservation of nature through preserving nature integrity and and wild lands
--Simple animal behavior-providing outlets for animal freedom access, routes to waterways, city planning to integrate
--

Earthships
Earthships are an insightful idea for sustainable design and a marquee for sound (or resonant) design. They utilize recycled material, local rock and cistern integration. These houses are a pragmatic, liberal prototype for sustainable design. Bold individuals without for nature preservationist ideals and stonch ethics for building design are a striking comparison to the general "tract house" consumer. These earthships utilize good solar orientation and landscape command.
-Recyclability and sustainability is a necessity when Earth is "comes first".
Keep in mind (think about) what kind of land we are building for children, and our children's children.

Product Design Integrity
The importance of efficient products is vital to our survival, sustainability and evolution. Building of sacrifice fossil fuel power plants undermines environmental integrity, abuses precious dwindling resources, and wastes life and land. New sustainable products are insightful options to avert industry failures like fossil fuel plastic (biodegradable or not).

Unnatural organic compounds
Breaking down simple organic compounds. A lye/fruit solution is one possibly simple way to break down unnatural organic compounds including plastic. Chemical compounds like soap, plastic and so on might be broken down using a simple lye solution. Hydro-flouric acid is another possibility to break down chemical compounds.

The importance of efficient products is vital to survival, sustainability and evolution. Building of new fossil fuel power plants undermines environmental integrity, abuses precious dwindling resources, and wastes life and land.

This is only a comparison.

Americans see themselves as a proud, caring, intense and hard working poeple with strong beliefs in the ability of "everyone" and the guidance to back them up. Unfortunately they use more resources, land, oil, eat more and waste more than any race in the world.

Vegan Diet

Things to look look for when quitting eating meat.
1. Quit gradually if you cannot quit immediately.
2. Be aware, beef has unnatural hormones in it.
3. Beware of "limp gut", or a weak stomach when quitting. A lot of times stomch strength might be enhanced by the the meat proteins but cause atrophy or lameness when quitting.
4. You should get a weak stomach and bowels, less active, slow.
5. Increase protein intake, protein powder starches, nuts high in protein.
6. Beware of burning sensation in gut, bowel pain.

Quitting meat-eating, I noticed a "limp gut" or "dead belly", stomach strength atrophied and felt lame. so-called="lilly liver". Noticed a deep "lump in the throat" and hallucinations when overexerting when tired. The stomach will probably be more active, work a lot better when not eating meat.

Controlling Nature
Controlling nature is the single most devastating thing we can do to the environment. I have experienced noticing/watching animals change according to unnatural human control. Controlling animals or "assuming" likeness to them is underming animal integrity, directing them though reaction is undermining animal life and animal cruelty. Animals sometimes die just from human contact. We must use care in natural environments. Assuming animals think is undermining nature, bad preservation technique. We must use care to preserve nature and let them strive without assuming too much characteristically from them.

Dogs (canines only)
Dogs were bred from wolves by humans. A Wolf is a wild animal. Domesticated dogs can be sterilized(but normal sexual activity should be preserved) to prevent overpopulation and utilize a sustainable level (6,000,000 or less). Killing stray and sick dogs and regulating owner care is necessary for health purpose.

Cats
Cats (felines only) were bred from wildcats by humans. A Wildcat is a wild animal. Domesticated cats can be sterilized(but normal sexual activity should be preserved) to prevent overpopulation and utilize a sustainable level (6,000,000 or less). Killing sick stray cats and regulating owner care is necessary for health purpose.

-Recyclability and sustainability is important, Earth first.

--Food sustainability
A sustainable diet is one of the most important parts of a sustainable society. Meat industry is large and unecessary. One possible meat alternative is growing meat-type food products from vegetable enzymes or bacteria culture. Original taste and texture like chicken and steak is definitely possible. Vegetable proteins and enzymes catalyzed to make a solution could be one option. The possibility of growing meat from such enzymes or bacteria sources is an unquestionably good sustainable food source with no resource waste and uncecesssary animal harvest.

Genetically Modified Organisms-
Don't get too frightened if you eat something that is genetically modified, everyone has natural recooperative powers and GMO currently only increases toxicity to make plants hardier or resistance to bugs.
Do the smart thing and secure some organic or Non-GMO seed, get organic foods and save the seeds, and grow GMO-free food in an indoor garden. GMO is unecessary and a detriment to seed origin and integrity. Don't support GMO if you respect our nature, and don't assume there is a good reason for accepting it.

Bio-degradeable product design- Vegetable/fruit-based products
One of the most important considerations concerning communities today is waste management. Most plastics
take 25-50 years to even start breaking down chemically and without treatment will never breakdown completely (to their origins), unless there are dug up and treated, whilst they abuse landfill space and poison animals.

Vegetable-resin compounds can replace plastics if designed correctly (with bio-degradation designed into product). If these compounds are designed with bio-degradability environmental impact could be reduced to a sustainable level.
Unecessary "greed" for "last a lifetime" products would give way to environmentally friendly products that bio-degrade naturally with replacement. Metals could be reduced greatly with respect to usage and community involvement for usability.

Universal CAD machines
Well designed machine with CAD (computer aided design) can produce universal designs for tools, machines, etc.,. from simple cellulose mixtures.
Hemp or vegetable stock mixed with plant oils and wood resins and gums can be
durable and virtually enviromental-impact free, and useable for many different designs.

Metals will be reduced in usage as well as new materials become available.
Recycled metals can be recycled or broken down into base metals or ores, ground up and "salted" or powdered back into original mining areas, recovered with original soil or rock ore base and put back in original form.

Hemp or vegetable-based products for use as building materials is a good replacement for non-renewable resource based supplies. Natural paint made from plant bases could save processing costs and provide a non-toxic alternative to regular chemical based paint. Look for "eco" products. Vegetable waste such as corn stalks, vegetable and fruit waste will be good replacements for out of state lumber and will serve well raw or chopped pressed into fiberboard, framing lumber, insulation, flooring, roofing, drywall substitute or decking material. Glass and nail replacement is possible. Use your imagination, all sorts of other possibilities lay at your feet in the foreground to making this a sustainable world.

Whitewashing the general public

Widely overused products "whitewash" the general public into overlooking sustainable alternatives. Assuming cotton is "good enough" is wrong. It is widely overused and wasting land resource. Cotton, polyester, nylon and leather are specifically a few of many overused clothing material products. Seek alternatives.
Plywood, metal framing, and overuse of concrete, asbestos and ashphalt roofing insulation building materials are few of many unsustainable products that could be replaced by sustainable non-overused materials.
Many alternatives for clothing exist including corn, hemp, and many vegetable-based resources. There are many different usable products and discovering usable alternatives is a natural choice. More money put into commonly overused products means less insightfulness or in alternative products we could make better.
Alternatives when brought about by the individual is an experience for the individual and has a positive effect on the whole. Learning to make real new alternatives and opportunities alone reinforces the individuals ability to survive and make good sustainable products. Alternatives to common unrenewable, unsustainable products, utilizing sustainable basics to create new products for general use and postive "exalted industry" (see GIN-Green Information Network), is sustainability.

Change your path forever, and realize what could be instead of accepting the normal and
what we all could be as common poeple, individuals with our insight freed but separate entities.

Resonant frequency<>

All things have a resonant frequency, or "sound". All these frequencies affect nature. For example, the "resonant" sound of tin contains a unique certain sound wave, or frequency. Frequencies have an effect on everyone. An item doesn't have to be metallic to contain a frequency, even dirt
or mud has a unique "sound". Frequencies are possibly hurtful to poeple and animals and it
would be a good solution to build "resonantly sound" products. Products that contain a there unique resonancy.
It is also good to have basic frequencies from natural materials because the more the better and building many resonant things together creates good nature. Natural materials built with solid wood-ported enclosures ensure separation from sound "hollows" created by inadequately built machines and products. Testing is possible. Get a sound tester or frequency modulation device available at an electronics store. Remember, the using free energy is illegal and a human rights violation. And with it carries implied negative impact raping the souls of the damned. So be nice.
Get a frequency sump.

Ingredient listing
It is of vital importance to check the food stuff you buy to make sure the labeling is up to government standards, it should have a list of ingredients, even water. Even water could be poisoned, this is a simple thing that is easy to do and ensures product safety and professional standard. A sustainable food base is vital to survival and an asset to our livelyhood. Don't accept "contains" instead of ingredients (eg. "Crystal Geyser"), this is decieving and not up to government standards. Don't accept anything differing from ingredients listing, companies put many different things in food products, even dog meat. Government standard mandates ingredient listing to be positive of safe food ingredients, assumably not everyone has time to check company information and should not be required to do so, only time to read ingredients listing, we can't all write letters to food companies requesting ingredients. This is a great asset to the poeple and should be overseen. Ingredient listing should be straightforward. Ingredient listing does not damage propietary information. Obviously companies have their own "mix" or recipe, ingredient listing is only ingredients, not recipe information.

Luckily, we have ingredients listing for most products, unfortunately, food additives are hard to identify and often come from animal or chemical compound sources. The internet is a good information source for this. These can be easily identified and avoided. Some of these (little noticed food additives) have serious side effects.
-Listings are available on the world wide web (such as Yahoo), do a search for "food additives list B phosphate", "vegetarian network animal derived".

-Many vitamins (B vitamins used for enriching bread flour) are made from animal sources, meaning they harvest them from the animal during slaughter (cows guts & intestines) (bacterias for yogurt and milk also), so make sure you get the ones that are made from vegetable source if you are vegan.

-Many 'amino acids' are made from animals sources. (lysine=casein, blood)
Amino acids=cysteine, lysine, etc.,.)

--Sustainable Medicine

---Techniques used for sustainable "natural" medicine include herbal and vegetable curatives. Necessary application is important. The internet and non biased reference is the best educational resource for herbal remedies, so studying these yourself is the best option. Starting slow is most important to notice small changes. "Lean out" your system.
