Farming, Gardening

Organic Farming & Food

  • Organic foods: Are they safer? More nutritious?
  • Organic Food
  • Organic Rising is the first feature-length film to demystify organic agriculture for the consumer. Initially the documentary presents the two predominant U.S. agrarian practices: conventional and organic, and how they impact human health and the planet.

Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture focuses on rebuilding organic matter and living biodiversity in soil, which produces increasingly nutrient-dense food year after year — while rapidly sequestering excess atmospheric carbon underground to reverse climate change.

The Need to GROW delivers alarming evidence on the importance of healthy soil — revealing not only the potential of localized food production working with nature, but our opportunity as individuals to help regenerate our planet’s dying soils and participate in the restoration of the Earth.

Composting

Water

Flow: For Love of Water

  • This award-winning documentary investigates what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century: The world water crisis. Building a case against the growing privatization of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply, the director focuses on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.

Indoor Air Quality

We spend 80% of our time indoors and often the indoor air is polluted not only from sources outside your home but also from indoor pollutants like off-gassing furniture, cooking and chemicals from cleaning. Additionally houses with insufficient fresh air ventilation can have very high Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels that can cause headaches, tiredness and has a large impact on cognitive performance.

OpenAQ is a nonprofit organization providing universal access to air quality data to empower a global community of change makers to solve air inequality—the unequal access to clean air.

Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a condition in which people develop symptoms of illness or become infected with chronic disease from the building in which they work or reside.

Air Quality Monitors

AirGradient ONE is an indoor air quality monitor enabling you to know if the air quality is healthy or not. It measures CO2, PM2.5, TVOCs, NOx, Temperature and Humidity. Fully open-source and customizable.

EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency), Electromagnetic Radiation, Emissions

Over exposure to electrical pollution or modern wireless devices, including cell phones, wireless internet, cordless phones, and baby monitors, which communicate using very high frequency radio waves known as microwaves, can cause radiofrequency sickness.

  • EMF Help Center
  • BioInitiative Report is a compilation of studies by 28 independent scientists and researchers exposing the harm of wireless technologies through rigidly conducted and peer-reviewed published studies, research and experiments. This is what you need when anyone asks you “WHERE’S THE SCIENCE?”
  • Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health – “For over 50 years, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) has been studying and treating the effects of the environment on human health. In the last 20 years, our physicians began seeing patients who reported that electric power lines, televisions and other electrical devices caused a wide variety of symptoms. By the mid 1990’s, it became clear that patients were adversely affected by electromagnetic fields and becoming more electrically sensitive. In the last five years with the advent of wireless devices, there has been a massive increase in radiofrequency (RF) exposure from wireless devices as well as reports of hypersensitivity and diseases related to electromagnetic field and RF exposure. Multiple studies correlate RF exposure with diseases such as cancer, neurological disease, reproductive disorders, immune dysfunction, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity.”
