Climate change is the symptoms of suffering on the planet. The plants, animals and human beings suffers because every day the balance of nature is sacrificed on the altars of the god of profit. Giuseppe Serravezza and Patrizio Mazza, coordinated by Tonino Girau, will lead us in the adventure of complex prevention and treatment of cancer, but also on the prospects opened up by the new local law. The talk is broadcast live on the Internet Wednesday, 11 March 2009 at 21, at www.oistros.it/lunapiena web – it is advisable to book the activities at lunapiena@oistros.it or email to skype contact casaoistros.

FARM-Africa. Christmas (Living and Growing) Presents
In Africa’s rural areas, many poor families rely on their land to survive. But with such barren earth to farm and unreliable rains, they struggle to harvest enough food to stay healthy.
Through a FARM-Africa goat project, you can transform life for a poor community providing poor families with goats and training in how to care for them. Also give one member of the group Toggenburgs to breed with local goats, so the hardier offspring produce lots of nutritious milk. This can be drunk or sold to help pay for medicine and schoolbooks. Plus, the goats’ manure is a great fertiliser for the family’s crops.

Urban Space Station – Agriculture Resource
An Urban Space Station on the frontier of urban space (up) and energy harvesting adapts the systems engineering involved in Space Station design to pressing urban issues. The space station is designed to generate its own energy and can provide energy to the building it rests upon, in the form of parasitic mutualism: it is designed to use the CO2 enriched air from output of HVAC system; produced by human and machine occupancy of the building. grey water cycling etc, to take on the closed systems design from space stations.
The structural approach addresses the constraints of a roof space, focusing the additiona load on the columns and masonry walls where extra loading can be easily accommodated without any additional structure or retrofitting. This approach to strategy also maximizes the use of open span that can provide habitat.
Shape is motivated to maximize radiative heat and internal thermal distribution: for climate control in intensive agriculture: An urban agriculture resource designed to provide substantial food production; and thereby minimizing the externalities of distribution (40% of commercial traffic is trucks delivering food).
The Science Barge is a sustainable urban farm designed by New York Sun Works, an environmental nonprofit organization, powered by solar, wind, and biofuels, and irrigated by rainwater and purified riverwater. You can grow fresh fruit and vegetables using recirculating hydroponics. The Science Barge tours New York City’s public waterfront parks, offering sustainability education programs to wide audiences.
