Ecosystem Creation and Management – One Community Weekly Progress Update #297



\"Successful ecosystem creation and management is possible using permaculture. If we do this as conscious and conscientious stewards of our local environments, we\'ll be contributing to doing the same for our global environments. If we open source and free-share the process and make it easy enough, affordable enough, and demonstrate it as attractive enough, the idea will predictably spread on its own. This is one path to global sustainability. One Community calls it living and creating for The Highest Good of All. This is the December 2, 2018 edition (#297) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments.\"

This Swedish teen is stealing the show at COP24 | Grist



When adults aren\'t leading, it looks like the children will speak common sense truth and leadership in their place: “I expected it to be more action and less talking — it’s mostly just small-talking,” she said on Wednesday. “This is an amazing opportunity. But if it continues the way it is now, we are never going to achieve anything.”

Can eating an organic diet decrease your cancer risk?



Food being healthier if it doesn\'t have poison sprayed on it should be common sense. For those who still don\'t know, here\'s a study that included just under 69,000 participants: \"A groundbreaking study released today suggests that eating an organic diet may significantly lower cancer risk. Researchers compared French adults who frequently consumed organic foods to those who never consumed organic foods and found a 25% reduction in overall cancer risk. As stated by the study authors: “a higher frequency of organic food consumption was associated with a reduced risk of cancer.” They also looked at specific cancer types and found that eating an organic diet significantly decreases the risk of developing three cancer types: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk is reduced by 86%, all lymphomas risk is reduced by 76%, and postmenopausal breast cancer risk is reduced by 34%. The research team hypothesized that this decrease in cancer risk is linked with a reduction in exposure to pesticide residues
