When ecological food destroys the environment

When ecological food destroys the environment


Sometimes rainforests like Amazonas are destroyed because the new plantations are needed for creating food for vegetarians. The food vegetables need space and this is another side of medal in the vegetarian food. Of course, vegetables are more ecological than meat, but the problem is that those vegetables are destroying the jungle. Vegetables like soy are important for replacing the animal- or meat proteins, but the problem is that those vegetables are taking space from the normal or natural vegetables of the jungle. 


And this is one of the biggest problems with food production in the world. Same time when we are protecting the species from hunting, we are destroying their natural environment. So we don't hunt those species, we are causing their extinction by destroying their food. And this is the problem with the world. When the population of the human race is growing, we need more and more food. 


Even if we would not eat meat anymore, things like corn are replacing natural vegetables, because that kind of food must be produced more than ever before. And the thing is that food must produce somewhere. One of the biggest problems with food production is that most of the rainforests are in the areas, where is the best place to grow vegetables. And that kind of thing is the worst and biggest threat to rainforests. 


When we are thinking about things like climate change and problems with the entire planet, we must realize that overpopulation is one of the things, that we must start to handle. When we want to protect the environment, the thing that we must understand is the thing that people are living in the areas, what we want to protect. 


At the same time, when some people are saying, that we must not kill too many mosquitos in some areas, we are forgetting that there live people whose family members are dying malaria. The reason why those mosquitos are needed is that the perch of Nile would survive. And the restaurants are producing food by that fish. But those people who are living in the upriver of the Nile would not ever eat that perch. 


The poison named DDT offers the solution for the mosquito problem, but it causes probably some kind of changes in chromosomes or behavior of the animals. The thing is that DDT(1) is very cheap and easy to use. And the data of the chromosomal changes collected a short period. We know that Agent Orange(2) causes genetic mutations, but does the DDT cause similar mutations is the question mark.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
