About two years ago, I had the idea of setting up a project that could help the environment by planting fruit trees in the villages that would also provide various benefits to the people of the area and improve water catchment and precipitation patterns.

Despite my efforts, actually implementing something like this on a big scale proved fruitless (possibly too far ahead of its time)and the project has evolved into voluntary tree planting and husbandry, at local orphanges, charity places like the Samaritans and any other places where we feel that they will be cared for and appreciated.

Two years ago, I met a friend from Ireland, Yamikani Alan, who was working at a local orphanage called Yamikani Orphanage, which also has a plot of land that is used as a small farm, and we decided to contribute together to plant some fruit trees on the land.

I have taken pic's of some of the trees with my new digital camera phone which I only recently was given as a gift and has become an invaluable tool for this blog.

Some balance pertaining to my previous post on the Honey-Bees!!

From:Bill Maher[link]

Here's a quote from Albert Einstein: "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." Well, guess what? The bees are disappearing. In massive numbers. All around the world. And if you think I'm being alarmist and that, "Oh, they'll figure out some way to pollinate the plants..." No, they've tried. For a lot of what we eat, only bees work. And they're not working. They're gone. It's called Colony Collapse Disorder, when the hive's inhabitants suddenly disappear, and all that's left are a few queens and some immature workers...

It seems like the plot of a particularly far-fetched horror film. But some scientists suggest that our love of the mobile phone could cause massive food shortages, as the world's harvests fail.

They are putting forward the theory that radiation given off by mobile phones and other hi-tech gadgets is a possible answer to one of the more bizarre mysteries ever to happen in the natural world - the abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate crops. Late last week, some bee-keepers claimed that the phenomenon - which started in the US, then spread to continental Europe - was beginning to hit Britain as well.

The theory is that radiation from mobile phones interferes with bees' navigation systems, preventing the famously homeloving species from finding their way back to their hives. Improbable as it may seem, there is now evidence to back this up.

In a time when concerned activists and ecologists continually point to mankind's progressively selfish destruction of the planet, the thoughtless eradication of countless species, and the decadent waste of vital resources, it would now appear that mobile phone users have shifted into the spotlight of criticism where impending doom is concerned.More specifically, certain scientific quarters are suggesting that the proliferation of the mobile phone could pave the way to huge food shortages caused by failing harvests around the world, reports the Belfast Telegraph.Although April 01 has already passed, the worrying theory offered up by scientists is no prank, and it points out that the levels of radiation emitted by mobile phones could well be a defining influence in the sudden decline of crop-pollinating honeybees. Odd as it may sound, the swift disappearance of the honeybee has spread from the U.S. through to mainland Europe, and is now also said to be having an impact on the United Kingdom.Scientists, armed with compelling evidence, are now implying that the massive amounts of radiation produced by mobile phone use is actually frying the usually razor-sharp navigational skills of the honeybees and preventing them from returning back to their hives.

A fascinating take on Madonna's recent interest in Orphans in Malawi, she recently initiated adoption procedures for Malawian child - David Banda - and is funding many orphanages all over the country, clues as to how subtle and secretive the Cabal can be in taking control of peoples minds and the future generations whilst they are most vulnerable:-

Is Madge looking to make Malawi her own state with her religion?

As a new kind of art form, blogging allows one to express oneself in a unique, enjoyable and interactive way that is still changing evolving.

I have so many works in progress at the moment and find that I'm bein Hazy, Crazy and Lazy about posting them but just have to put this one up because I'm done procrastinatin' about it!!!

Stories about how things could be are a boost to the imagination and help people decide what is important to work on in the here and now. They can function as blueprints, warnings or exhortations as well as a reminder that things will keep changing and be different, which is always a good lesson for any part of life.

I absolutely could not believe this when I saw it.

So, the food processing industry goes from poisoning us to poisoning our pets as well.!!

[link]

Why should our pets not have the privelage of eating good Home Cooked Meals made from Natural Ingredients like we all should be doing?
Anyone feeding their pets out of cans and bags are actually abusing the animals as far as I'm concerned..

So, A diary entry after maybe a few years since the last one.

Where to begin.....

Things have been going on as they have been for pretty much the last few years but it just feels to me like the crest of huge wave right now thats riding high and real fast.

Some strange undercurrents are coming through as well, like senses of the temporary nature of life as I have known it these last few years and glimpses of the way things may start to change.

We all need to do something to tackle this growing problem:

Dear friend,

On Thursday March 15th, the environment ministers from the G8, the world's biggest contributors to climate change, will be meeting in Germany. The outcome of this meeting will play a critical role in determining the world's response to global warming--and the fate of the planet.

I have been working on the book "Giant Steps" by Anthony Robbins and found it interesting & inspiring and in turn I wished to project that inspiration forward.

Here are some excerpts:-

If you keep focusing on what you fear, thats exactly where you end up. If you resist your fear, have faith and discipline your focus, your actions will naturally take you in the direction you want. Release your fear and focus on what you truly desire and deserve.

Well, I've been away from blogging for quite a while and been wanting to get back to it recently so when I thought up this natural enterprise which is now a reality, I felt it would be nice to post up the details ;-)

Recently, there was the brief episode of Live 8 and the issue of debt cancellation for Africa, and I noted some references to my own current country of residence ( Malawi) and how it had been bypassed for debt relief etc and seeing how this somehow related to me, I decided to add my two cents worth to this whole debate... People do not need debt relief.... and in the context of very likely oil shocks about to reverberate with ascending scale onto the global economy - those poverty stricken Garden Farmers of the world who get by without running water, electricity and very little or nothing in the way of finances are likely to be in a much less difficult position than the rest of us.

Today, while taking a walk though the litter strewn streets of my current hometown, I happen across one of the beggars, an old, badly crippled sorry looking character that I often encounter on my trips around the town.

This time, however, possibly triggered by conversations on this very network, maybe a combination of various factors, but I find myself seeing him through new eyes.
