Science Magazine: Four Studies Demonstrate That Fracking and Geothermal Power Produce Earthquakes

Human-induced earthquakes have become an important topic of political and scientific discussion, owing to the concern that these events may be responsible for widespread damage and an overall increase in seismicity. It has long been known that impoundment of reservoirs, surface and underground mining, withdrawal of fluids and gas from the subsurface, and injection of fluids into underground formations are capable of inducing earthquakes. In particular, earthquakes caused by injection have become a focal point, as new drilling and well-completion technologies enable the extraction of oil and gas from previously unproductive formations.

Fracking and Drinking Water Map: This Map Shows Where You Shouldn’t Drink Tap Water in the USA

Short-term think for profit at the expense of long-term survival is criminally and genocidally irresponsible.
Is this what we are prepared to stand by and allow happen?
Is this for what our grandchildren will remember us?
So if the head of Nestle is of the mind that nobody has a “right” to free water, and the oil and gas companies are polluting the aquifers to make a dollar from the oil and gas at the expense of your health and the bottled water vending companies also stand to make a growing profit, makes it seem rather real what that Cree American Indian prophecy had to say, ““Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.”Tap Water Unsafe Map US

800 Scientists Demand Global GMO Experiment End

Did you hear about the 800 esteemed scientists who came together and demanded the production of genetically modified crops and products be stopped? Scientists who called on world powers to re-evaluate the future of agriculture and seek sustainability rather than corporate profits? Don’t be surprised if you haven’t, as the mainstream media won’t touch this one.

Sitting Is Deadly – But Frequently Standing Up Reduces The Risk

Sitting for extended periods of time is an independent risk factor for poor health and premature death. Even if you are very fit, if you uninterruptedly sit for a great percentage of the time, you’re still at an increased risk of dying prematurely.
Research by the NASA scientist responsible for monitoring the astronauts, shows your body declines rapidly when sitting for long periods.
Simply standing up over 30 times a day is a powerful antidote to long periods of sitting and is more effective than walking.
There are virtually unlimited opportunities for movement throughout the day, from doing housework or gardening, to cooking and even just standing up every 10 minutes.
It’s not how many hours of sitting that’s bad for you; it’s how often you interrupt that sitting that is GOOD for you.

Please read the article, there is a lot more great data in it! And if you are one of the very few who actually IMPLEMENT some of the techniques I share, this will save you 10 seconds of searching, a timer you can run in the background to beep every 10 minutes to remind you to get out of the chair for a second! http://timer.onlineclock.net/ I started using it last night.

Governments Want To Educate Children

For the future of us all, take more than a passing interest in your child’s education. Teach them to think for themselves. It requires a certain courage of a parent to work towards having your children make their own decisions, even though they be contrary to the ones you would like they made.
But the end result is a responsible, capable free being. Not a robot.
If you do not have the time or inclination to home school, check out the Athena School in Newtown. My three started there. My two grandkids are there. So yours would be in good company 🙂
