Conservation of Change
Канада
Добавлен 9 июн 2015
The Conservation of Change (ΔS) Lab is an initiative led by by Dr. Philip Loring, associate professor and Arrell Chair in Food, Policy, and Society at the University of Guelph. Our lab is not a traditional, physical space, but a collaborative space of engagement among faculty, students, and community members; we call it a "lab" nonetheless to actively challenge the notion that learning and discovery must happen within brick and mortar structures located on university campuses.
At the most basic level, our research tells stories about people and their food: how do environmental issues unite people, divide them, and and how are people working to make their food systems more sustainable and just? We are driven by a desire to applied, problems-oriented questions like, "what are the barriers that people face when trying to build more sustainable local food systems" while also managing to pose and test scientific hypotheses about the basic nature of the world.

TIED TO THE LAND: VOICES FROM NORTHWEST ALASKA- Film Trailer
If it’s hydric soils, hydric vegetation, aerobic bacteria, and so on,,, it’s a wetland!!’ Leave it alone. You can’t avoid impacts whether you ditch, tile, fill, farm, by centimeters or feet, you’re just moving the water down the watershed , usually too fast, and usually unclean. And wonder why we flood all the time now, ugh.
Yes I have used this same principles for my goldfish Koi Pond with a Wetland filter. I constructed a wetland area above my fish pond. The wetland filter has a void space at the bottom with aquablocks and 2 feet of different size river rocks on top of the blocks. The water comes in from an intake bay from the pond up though all the gravel & rocks and is filtered. The water after it is filtered than returns back into the pond clean. You can do the same with storm water run off from house gutters. The water runs from the gutters into the bottom of the wetland filter comes up though the river rocks and goes into the pond. The pond rocks house all the beneficial good bacteria removing ammonia and any harmful chemicals which can be harmful to fish and to humans. The wetland filter is planted with many aquatic plants which adds to the filtration and the breakdown of harmful chemicals.
Great Presentation. Easy and concise. Thanks
Thank you for a great explanation!
Wonderful work, Sarah!
Thanks to everyone for watching! We're grateful for your interest.
Well done documentary capturing the voices of those who live in some of the most challenging circumstances. Great photography shows the rugged beauty of the arctic region, at least during the warmer and brighter days of spring and summer. It's hard to imagine crossing that landscape in the dark of winter.
dont like this
These people will live longer than those who buy food from stores. There's a good frozen food (this) and there's bad frozen foods (from stores with e numbers) I love how they trade and share. Sooo interesting. It genuinely brought a tear to my eye because of the loving and caring empathy they have for each other. I love this. Absolutely love it.
