Whose Water Is It Anyway? - Taking Water Protection into Public Hands

Maude Barlow

Sinopse

“Maude Barlow is one of our planet’s greatest water defenders.” — Naomi Klein, bestselling author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine
		 
The Blue Communities Project is dedicated to three primary things: that access to clean, drinkable water is a basic human right; that municipal and community water will be held in public hands; and that single-use plastic water bottles will not be available in public spaces. With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Montreal are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. In Whose Water Is It, Anyway?, renowned water justice activist Maude Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Concluding with a step-by-step guide to making your own community blue, Maude Barlow’s latest book is a heartening example of how ordinary people can effect enormous change.

Backyard Chickens For Beginners...

Tom Lee

Learn How to Raise Healthy Chickens at Your Backyard
When starting a backyard chicken coop, one of the first decisions you'll have to make is which breed of chicken you will raise. Each breed has specific characteristics and can be used for different purposes. In general, though, chicken breeds break down into three groups: egg layers, meat chickens, and dual-purpose chickens.
Egg layers produce both a nice quantity and quality of egg. Egg color can also be a factor here. Despite what you have seen in the market, not all chicken eggs are white or brown! Some chickens lay blue, green or pink eggs which may be less desirable.
The Leghorn chicken is the best egg layer that is commonly used by beginners. A mature hen can lay up to 280 eggs in one year. The eggs are large, and white to off-white in color. Leghorns tend to be smaller than other backyard chickens, and have a good nature suitable for a backyard flock. Many commercial farms use the Leghorn as their egg layer of choice.
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN IN THIS BOOK
Ø What Are the Best Backyard Chicken Breeds?
Ø Should you Raise Meat Chickens?
Ø Introducing New Chickens to Your Existing Flock
Ø Hidden Costs of Raising Chickens
Ø Problems You Should Expect with Raising Backyard Chickens
Meat chickens, sometimes called fryers or broilers, are raised for the meat they can provide. If meat is what you want from your flock, then size and weight matter. Some good meat chickens, like the New Hampshire Red, can grow up to 9 pounds. You'll also want to make sure the skin color and shape of the chicken breed is suitable for cooking. In general, a nice rounded chicken with yellow skin (under the feathers) is preferred.
