        Energy Patterns, Efficiency & Green Sustainable Sources

 

In our hi-tech culture we depend on money-time economy of power supplying technology more normal than natural energetic patterns & cycles in our bioregion.  We tend to ignore Natural rhythms & climate health.  So how can we teach & learn about nature? & low tech at home & in our communities?  Most academic science rarely teaches the raw natural patterns, recycling & cycles of nature; while depending on super- tech energy pro-duction, inputs & importing for consuming.  I love, observe & sense 7 natural elements patterns of: air space, firenergy, water flow, earth base, minerals, Life cycles & spiraling patterns. So to reduce our consuming & waste, naturalizing we need new ways to educate about energy sources & effects on our health, home & happiness.

      

We need to be outside in nature daily watching weather, plants, animals, waters, soil, etc, to keep learning patterns.  How can we feel, share & learn these together for greening up, simplifying & powering down in our green neighborhoods.  Most children enjoy nature, after they get un-addicted to TV, computers & toys.  Nature is free, exciting, healthy & constantly showing her patterns of causes & effects.  In order to understand whole systems cycles we find in nature, help us conserve energy at home & anywhere.   

 

Deep ecology, complete recycling, bicycling & growing ÔFood Not Lawns; are natural ways of reducing our carbon & energy waste heating up our environment into climate crisis.  We can learn how nature is always flowing toward balancing in mid range, daily, seasons, yearly & so on; even tho its getting hotter & drying that last 20 years on earth. 

 

ThereÕs a 100 varied natural projects kids do in many places like learning about natural causes & effects, human impacts & efficiency:  measuring & reporting carbon use & exhaust, saving,  waste & energy conservation,  transportation needs & costs;  natural gardening, planting & tending trees,  prey-predator relations;  seed collecting, storing, swapping & trading;  animals care,  riparian shore-bank & wetland eco-zone care;  watershed  & habitat protection,  fishing,  eco-forestry,  identifying, planting, pruning & harvesting trees;  collecting biomass for composting soil,  worm beds,  bird watching & learning;   weather & climate cycles, measuring temp, pressure & humidity  pH of air, water & food concentrations;  water & soil testing,  collecting local & wild herbs, fruits, nuts & roots;  fire wooding, food  gathering, fixing, drying, preserving, fermenting & storing.  Growers markets,  bartering, etc.  Dozens more innovative & needed for local fertility like: the multi uses of growing & using hemp/cannabis growing here

       

Another dimension of natural patterns are the geometry of change, chaos &  

                                                                                 structures:

 

Geodesics, Triangles & crystals, polyhedrons & domes, Tetrahedrons, pyramids & tripods, circles & arcs, hexagon gridworks,  A-frames, tipis, yurts, fractal branching,, orbs, eggs & spheres,  wells & pottery, tubes, beams, axis, leverage, posts, hinges,  spiraling rope, screws, drills  & propellers, windmills, plants, ivy, vines & trees;  insects & birds flight paths, basketry, water flows, Vortexes, magnetism & torusphere gyro balancing, fish swimming, wicking & seeping, etc.
