The Greta Effect
from the International Conference on Biodiversity
“As far as biodiversity is concerned, we are at war
with nature. We need to make peace with nature. Because
nature is what sustains everything on Earth ... the science
is unequivocal.”
Inger Andersen,
Executive Director of UN Environment Programme
|
Christmas Traditions from Around the World
In the world we live in people follow all sorts
of wierd and wonderful traditions. In our culture we are taught
that a huge man in a spotless red suit descends a chimney
(whether you have one or not) and deposits all manner of toys
and presents all for the low cost of a couple of cookies and
a glass of milk. One year we convinced mom to leave Santa
a beer with his cookies. Dad was all over this idea. But what
happens in other countries? |
| Austria's Krampus
Austrian kids who end up on Santa’s naughty list
also have to worry about Krampus: a horned, hairy beast that
snatches misbehaving children in his wicker basket, serving
as Saint Nicholas’ creepy enforcer. Many towns in Austria
celebrate Krampusnacht where dozens of men dressed as the
half-goat demon parade through the streets brandishing sticks
and terrorising children. |
| The Yule Lads, Iceland
Icelandic kids don’t just get one Santa Claus,
they get 13 mischievous trolls. Like Snow White’s seven dwarves,
each of the 13 ‘jólasveinar’ (Yule Lads) has his own personality
– including Doorway-Sniffer, Spoon-Licker, Sausage-Swiper,
Candle-Stealer, Curd-Gobbler, and the ominously named Window-Peeper.
Each takes turns visiting children who leave shoes in their
bedroom window, dropping off pressies for the good kids and
rotting potatoes for the bad ones. |
| Mummering in NFLD
Mummering is a Christmas-time house-visiting
tradition practised in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a
time tested way to visit with your neighbours and hit them
up for some yule-time spirits. Traditionally, wearing a costume
that disguises your identity you go from house to house, visiting
your neighbours. At each stop, the hosts would try and guess
the identity of the mummers.
Mummer's Prayer:
"Here we stand before your door,
As we stood
the year before;
Give us whisky, give us gin,
Open the door
and let us in." |

Added Benefits of Sprouting:
- It is easily digestible.
- Sprouting increases the vitamins and mineral content.
- Doubles the Vitamin A content.
- B complex vitamin increases 5-10 times more.
- Level of Vitamin C increases.
- The bio availability of nutrients increases.
- Proteins are easily digestible.
Sprouts are biologically dense foods and contain
proteolytic enzymes that make carbohydrates and proteins digestible.
Sprouts increase the level of antioxidants
and Vitamin C in your body along with chlorophyll
content that boosts your immune system and
detoxifies your body. |

Composting Worms
European Nightcrawlers |
reg: $100.0 |
Sale price: |
$60.00
|
| The biggest difference you will
notice between the Reds and the Euros is the size.
European Nightcrawlers are a larger worm. Bigger
than the Red Wigglers and slightly smaller that
the Canadian Nightcrawlers.
The Euros can tolerate dryer and slightly more
acidic conditions better than the Red Wigglers.
Euros with Living Composter:
|
reg: $259.99
$239.99
|
|
The Sure Close
Collection bucket |
reg: $19.95 |
Sale price: |
$10.00
|
| I didn't think the Sure-Close
would be much different from the regular bin I
was already using. Boy, was I wrong. The Sure-Close
compost pail is by far the best collection container
I've ever used. The perforated lid lets the air
flow so the pail is odour free. The lid stays
open when needed and can be snapped close with
one hand. The opening is angled making it easier
to put food scraps in with less spillage ending
up on the floor or counter. Possibly the most
important feature is the snug interlocking seal
and lid clasp that ensures a tight closure that
will keep fruit flies out! |
|
|
Coco Coir
Brick (8"x4"x2") |
reg: $7.50 |
Sale price: |
$5.00
|
| Not just for the worms, your plants
love it too. Coconut Coir is made from the fibrous
brown husk that surrounds a coconut. It makes
a great bedding for worms and is excellent growing
medium for all types of plants. |
