Arithmetic, Population and Energy - 4 - a talk by Al Bartlett Part 4 of an engaging and informative talk by Al Bartlett. Professor Bartlett has given his celebrated one-hour lecture, "Arithmetic, Population and Energy: Sustainability 101" over 1,600 times to audiences with an average attendance of 80 in the United States and world-wide. His audiences have ranged from junior high school and college students to corporate executives and scientists, and to congressional staffs. Professor Al Bartlett begins his one-hour talk with the statement, "The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function." He then gives a basic introduction to the arithmetic of steady growth, including an explanation of the concept of doubling time. He explains the impact of unending steady growth on the population of Boulder, of Colorado, and of the world. He then examines the consequences steady growth in a finite environment and observes this growth as applied to fossil fuel consumption, the lifetimes of which are much shorter than the optimistic figures most often quoted. He proceeds to examine oddly reassuring statements from "experts", the media and political leaders - statements that are dramatically inconsistent with the facts. He discusses the widespread worship of economic growth and population growth in western society. Professor Bartlett explains "sustainability" in the context of the First Law of Sustainability: "You cannot sustain population growth and / or growth in the rates of consumption of resources." The talk brings the listener to understand and appreciate the implications of unending growth on a finite planet, and closes noting the crucial need for education topic.

Cody Lundin - ABO DUDE - PART 3 Earth Current TV visits founder and CEO of Aboriginal Living Skills School Cody Lundin On part 3 Cody shows us how to make fire with sticks. The old fashioned way. Make sure and watch Discovery Channel Friday nights Dual Survival follows Dave Canterbury Cody Lundin as they are dropped into scenarios that could happen to anyone: marooned sailors, lost hikers, trapped. http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/dual-survival/ To build a fire, it helps to understand the basic principles of a fire. Fuel (in a nongaseous state) does not burn directly. When you apply heat to a fuel, it produces a gas. This gas, combined with oxygen in the air, burns. Understanding the concept of the fire triangle is very important in correctly constructing and maintaining a fire. The three sides of the triangle represent air, heat and fuel. If you remove any of these, the fire will go out. The correct ratio of these components is very important for a fire to burn at its greatest capability. The only way to learn this ratio is to practice. SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION You will have to decide what site and arrangement to use. Before building a fire consider — * The area (terrain and climate) in which you are operating. * The materials and tools available. * How much time you have. * Why you need a fire. * How close is the enemy. Look for a dry spot that — * Is protected from the wind. * Is suitably placed in relation to your shelter (if any). * Will concentrate the heat in the direction you desire. * Has a supply of wood or other fuel available. If you are in a wooded or brush-covered area, clear the brush and scrape the surface soil from the spot you have selected. Clear a circle at least 1 meter in diameter so there is little chance of the fire spreading. If time allows, construct a fire wall using logs or rocks. This wall will help to reflector direct the heat where you want it. It will also reduce flying sparks and cut down on the amount of wind blowing into the fire. However, you will need enough wind to keep the fire burning. CAUTION: Do not use wet or porous rocks as they may explode when heated. In some situations, you may find that an underground fireplace will best meet your needs. It conceals the fire and serves well for cooking food. To make an underground fireplace or "Dakota fire hole" — * Dig a hole in the ground with sloping sides around 45 degrees but deep enough to shield all of the fuel. * On the upwind side of this hole, poke or dig a large connecting hole for ventilation. * Build your fire in the hole but be mindful that with reduced ventilation the fuel needs to be more loosely layered. If you are in a snow-covered area, use green logs to make a dry base for your fire. Trees with wrist-sized trunks are easily broken in extreme cold. Cut or break several green logs and lay them side by side on top of the snow. Add one or two more layers. Place the top layer of logs opposite those below it.
