 A Little Inspiration

Sometimes life can get difficult and discouraging. I enjoy uplifting stories. The 13 minute video below is the story of Yin, a Chinese housewife who destroyed a desert in the nation of China. I read once that if you think little things are not important you have never tried to spend a peaceful night in bed with a hungry mosquito in the room.

Attempts to reverse desertification are also taking place in Africa as the following 12 minute video by permaculture scientist Andrew Millison explains.

 One of the reasons why nutrition is so poor in the United States today is because of what we have done to our soil. The work of Andrew Millison, a professor in Oregon, it focused on healing the soil and restoring the conditions for healthy and nutritious food. His work is inspiring and ranks with the work of Sepp Holzer and others in advancing our knowledge of how to grow food. Below is a video link to his work:
