[Diggers350] Monbiot's conversion, now 'loves' glowing example of Fukushima

I agree that growing food from chemicals is unsustainable. But I also
suspect that growing food organically would not feed everybody very
satisfactorily (See figures for China in V Smil, Enriching the Earth)
Therefore we need fewer people.
Nitrogen fertilizer doesn't deplete soil of fertility on its own. It
is just that when farmers apply chemical fertilizer they don't bother
to maintain levels of organic nutrients. If we stop using chemical
nitrogen there won't be any resulting increase in the amount of
organic nitrogen.

> The list was originally concerned with the 350th anniversary of The
> Diggers (& still is concerned with their history). The Diggers
> appeared at the end of the English Civil war with a noble mission
> to make the earth 'a common treasury for all'. In the spring of
> 1999 there were celebrations to remember the Diggers vision and
> their contribution.

> THE SCYTHE SHOP (advertisement)
> There is a revival of scything in the UK. Scything summer growth by
> hand is usually quicker than using a strimmer, and there is no
> noise, vibration or pollution. Mowing an acre of grass with a
> scythe is probably less hassle than maintaining and using a motor
> scythe. Once you have learnt how to sharpen and use an Austrian
> scythe properly, mowing a meadow by hand becomes a joy, rather than
> a struggle. http://www.thescytheshop.co.uk/

> SOCIAL JUSTICE FILMS AND DVDS
> Today, many of the best TV programmes are broadcast in the wee
> small hours. Some outstanding films don't make it onto TV at all!
> You need miss out no longer. At CultureShop.org you can buy
> historic independent media at a sensible price. http://

> You can find out more about the Diggers and see illustrations at:

> Brendan Boal from the Climate Camp would like me to point out that
> Bilderberg.org is my private web site and as such is not officially
> part of The Land Is Ours.
