"Regrowing Borneo, tree by tree"
by Jane Braxton Little
This periodical is full of green hope!:)
Smits, A Dutchman by birht , now Indonesian,has succeeded in
recreating a new orangutan habitat "one square meter at a time."
Smits fought deforestation and the setting to fire of the orangutan habitat
for twenty years now.His partners in his venture are 600 families of the Dayak
tribe in the province of East Kalimantan in Indonesia.
Smits calls this" the people's forest".
He calls the project "Samora Lestart." He has not yet submitted the project according to
Little for public scrutiny or review.
Borneo is the third largest island in the world. Borneo has 15,000 plant species,
222 mammal species and hundreds of bird species , fresh water and amphibian fish.
It has 6,000 species that are found nowhere else.
Wallace, a contemporary of Darwin's, wrote about these species in 1858.
In the 1970s loggers started to tear this pqlce apart.
The roads that they cut inot the woods reduced the habitat and the temeprature warmed up considerably. Smits is hoping that the entire island will be restred.
What do you think about Smits?:)

Would you try the Acai berry? Why or why not?
http://www.acaiberryproductts.org

According to the Acai berry organization the Acai berry is
a"perfect food that mankind has always been looking for.
It is far better than any other combination of other foods on earth, ounce
per ounce."
The Acai berry is a dark purple fruit that has little edible pulp.
It grows in a tree from the palm family and it grows in "large stringy bunches."
It only grows in Amazonia in northern Brazil in the rain forest.
Natives have been eating it for some time and ecologists are excited
with it because they have been able to stop the chopping trees
here and local people get jobs harvesting the berries;
(free trade product).
It is know for its' antioxidants.
There are very interesting studies of this fruit!
For example, Professor SteveTalcott at the University of Florida
thinks that the Acai berry in studies has caused a self-destruct process in 86%
of leukemia cells.
so..would you drink it?

Designer Babies:What do you think?

Dr. Steinberg offers everyone the opportunity to pick : eye color, hair color and sex for their babies.
He uses "predictive embryos" which have certain percentage probabilities for getting the traits that the customer desires and the embryo of choice is"transferred in".
What do you think of this?Do you like the technology or find it offensive?What will the result bring us?
