BADSEED Funky Friday Farmers' Market - KCMO @ 4-8pm @ 19th & McGee - 20120120



Howdy Folks -

I gotta make this short & sweet cuz Farmer Brooke is on vacation!!!  Can you freakin' believe it??  Farmer Dan and I haven't been on a vacation for ages...(we barely manage to get a day off).  It's been so long since we've made it out of town that when I went to pack I couldn't find a single suitcase, backpack, or duffle bag.  Out of sheer desperation I ended up shoving our tattered clothes into a burlap potato sack!!  (pretty darn appropriate for a couple of flailing farmers, eh?)

Anyway, we are in the delightfully sinful town of "Nawlins" celebrating our anniversary.  "Pimp Daddy" Percy James is with us of course and I'd say he's having more fun than anybody.  See attached photo.

We'll be back this Friday for the sinfully delicious BADSEED *Winter* Farmers' Market from 4-8 pm.  See you then!!

LAWRENCE SOLID WASTE TASK FORCE ¤ PUBLIC MEETING
Thursday, 19 January 2012, 6:00pm
Lawrence City Hall, 6 East 6th St., Lawrence KS 66044

Astonished that Lawrence still has no community-wide curb-side recycling?  Aware of cities everywhere, megalopolis and village, that have had curb-side recycling for decades?  Now is you chance to support thethe Solid Waste Task Force plans for curb-side recycling, volume-based fees (folks would pay more for setting out a mountain of trash), and safer work conditions for the solid waste employees.

This will be a public input meeting to get comments on the report which is posted at http://www.lawrenceks.org/swtf/files/swtf_draft_publicmeeting_2012jan19.pdf  Comments may also be submitted to the Solid Waste Task Force through an online form available at http://www.lawrenceks.org/swtf/feedback if you are unable to attend.

The plan calls for all residential customers to get one standard size cart for mixed recyclables and another for trash.  A larger cart is available for a modest fee increase.  Bulk item collection by appointment will still be available (fridges, water heaters, tires, etc.) and yard trimmings will still be collected and composted.  Inclusion of vegetative food waste in the yard trimmings will be explored, as will education on back yard composting.

FUKUSHIMA DAI-ICHI NUCLEAR DISASTER ¤ DAY 298

The Vancouver Sun reported that Canadians are increasingly concerned about contamination of imported seafood by Fukushima Dai-ichi cesium 137 (with implications for U.S. seafood imports).  Both Japanese and Canadian officials maintain the levels are negligible, but researcher Nicholas Fisher, a marine sciences professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, said "I would probably be hesitant to eat a lot of those fish.  There has been virtually zero monitoring and research on this", he said, calling on other governments to do more radiation tests on the ocean's marine life.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts reported Fukushima caused history's biggest ever release of radiation into the ocean -- 10 to 100 times more than the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe.  Read more at - Canadian fish eaters threatened by Fukushima radiation.

We also suggest readers avail themselves of reports from the following sources.  Japan Focus - Japan Focus, Fairewinds Associates- Fukushima Updates, and China Syndrome - China Syndrome news series.

ROCKET STOVE MASS HEATER WORKSHOP ¤ TRANSITION KAW VALLEY
(tentatively scheduled for) Saturday, 21 January 2012, 1:00-5:00pm  -  FREE
408 Lincoln St., Lawrence KS 66044 (please approach from the alley between Lincoln and Perry Street; no parking in alley though)

A rocket mass heater is innovative and efficient space heating system developed from the rocket stove and the masonry heater. Michael Crouch will lead the workshop, being the proprietor of Earthen, a natural building and finishing company specializing in cob construction.  

These heaters ensure almost complete combustion of wood fuel, and can be built at home by relatively unskilled people.  Wood is gravity fed from a hopper into a 'J shaped' combustion chamber and from there the hot gases enter a metal heat exchanger and then pass along horizontal metal ducting embedded within a massive cob thermal store.

OIL WARS 2012

This essay by Michael Klare, Energy Wars 2012 | Michael Klare, is introduced by Tom Englehardt saying "When the U.S. faces a problem in the world -- say, keeping the energy flowing on this planet -- the first thing that's done is to militarize the problem.  It's the only way Washington now knows how to think."  Michael Klare's upcoming book The Race for What's Left: The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources makes clear that a further militarization of oil and gas policy is underway by our "yes we can hope" progressive President.

Obviously, any sane, peaceful, and sustainable energy solutions will have to come from us at the community level.  We need to inspire and educate the citizenry in energy conservation and local reskilling, and push local government beyond Peak Oil Plans intoenergy descent plans and de-growth policies.  With each step of progress, we must launch into two more steps forward, and no regression by inaction.  It's down to us.

GENETICALLY DIVERSE SEED RESEARCH FROM TAJIKISTAN

The 75 year old oil company, Saudi Aramco, publishes a slick PR magazine that undoubtedly intends to put them in a socially responsible light.  But nevertheless, they sometimes have excellent articles such as this one Seeds of High Asia.  It describes multi-cultural research teams that explore some of the most remote and well preserved living seed banks on the planet.  There are taxinomists from the Komarov Botanical Institute in St. Petersburg, the Tajik Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Syria's International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas all collaborating in seed hunting.  U.S. ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan of Arizona recounted in his book Where Our Food Comes From his experiences in the Pamir Mountain region of Tajikistan.

GARDEN PLANNING, SEED ORDERING WORKSHOP ¤ TRANSITION KAW VALLEY
Saturday, 18 February 2012, 1:00-5:00pm  -  FREE
location TBA, Lawrence KS 66044

How does your garden grow?  As well as you plan for it (plus a little work!).  The sequence and arrangement of various garden vegetables occur over a period of time from February up until last frost date in May (and then again in August for a Fall garden if you choose).  Early crops should be seeded indoors in flats, and set out when the soil begins warming up.  Later crops get seeded next, some in flats, some directly in the beds.  It's a matter of space and timing.  And the seeds need to be ordered before any of this begins!  Experienced gardeners will teach you how, and direct you to good sources of seeds.
