Sustainable Living

 

Sustainable, is a process which can be maintained indefinitely.

We did not inherit this land from our fathers.

We are borrowing it from our children.

– Amish Proverb -

 

“What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday
and our present thoughts build our life tomorrow.
Our life is the creation of our mind
[BUDDHA 580 BC (Approximately)]

 

We have to create not only our life,
but our lifestyle, the environment and social structure
we would like to live that life in.

Sustainable, is a process which can be maintained indefinitely.

 

Sustainable food production can be maintained indefinitely because sustainable farmers do not take more resources to produce food than they give back.

A reliance on renewable resources - as well as on symbiotic relationships with nature and the surrounding community - means that these farms do not damage the environment, are humane for workers and animals, provide a fair wage to the farmer, and support and enhance rural life.
Because sustainable farmers see nature as an ally rather an obstacle, they are able to produce more wholesome food while using less fossil fuels (thus lessening the impact on global warming), and without using any synthetic pesticides, artificial hormones, or antibiotics.

 


What is Factory Farming?
Factory farming takes a mechanized approach to agriculture, based on the assumption that raising more animals in smaller spaces is more efficient than letting them live and graze naturally, and therefore more profitable. What this assumption ignores are the problems created when the realities of living creatures – what they eat, how they behave, how much waste they create – are at odds with the industrial systems created to maximize their production.

But factory farms don’t just ignore the problems created by intensive animal confinement, they have found ways to foist those problems onto society. Rather than responsibly manage animal waste, take measures to prevent air pollution and soil contamination, or keep their animals clean and healthy, these large scale farms take short cuts and receive government subsidies, forcing taxpayers to pay for their problems.


If factory farms were forced to pay for these costs rather than taxpayers, the system would no longer be seen as profitable. Consumers are already starting to notice this and are turning to organic and sustainable food instead

What are the most important issues?

Growth hormones and rBGH
Both natural and synthetic hormones are regularly administered to factory farmed beef cattle to make them grow faster. rBGH is a genetically engineered hormone that increases dairy cows’ milk production, but also threatens their health. Studies have shown that hormones added to meat and dairy products may have negative effects on human health.


Antibiotics
The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that 70% of all antimicrobials used in the United States are given to farm animals, to compensate for filthy conditions as well as to promote growth. Increasingly, traditional antibiotics (which are a type of antimicrobial) are losing their effectiveness in the battle against infectious diseases because of antibiotic overuse which creates resistant bacteria.


Genetic engineering
Genetic engineering (GE) is the process of transferring specific traits, or genes, from one organism into a different plant or animal. Much concern has been raised over the inadequate testing of the effects of genetic engineering on humans and the environment.
And once released into the environment, these genetically engineered organisms cannot be cleaned up or recalled.
