Earth Day Article: What is your Ecological Footprint? Part 1

By:Je

Cohoon

SPECIAL10 DINNERS UNDER $10SPECIAL10 DINNERS UNDER $10

Earth Day is an annual worldwideevent held to increase awarenessand appreciation of the Earth'snatural environment and examine our lifestyle and see what wecould do better.

According to earthday.org,“The fight for a clean environmentcontinues in a climate of increasingurgency, as the ravages of climatechange become more manifestevery day.” In honor of Earth Day,let’s look at how your daily choicesaffect the environment. What is an Ecological Footprint?According to ecologicalfootprint.org,an Ecological Footprint is a tool thatscientists use in order to calculatethe strain humans demand of na-ture. It measures how quickly peo-ple develop waste and take innatural resources like: oil, timber,paper, metals, and fish. The Ecolog-ical Footprint is a useful idea be-cause most people don’t realize theenvironmental impact of their deci-sions.

Continued overuse of theplanet’s natural resources causesboth plant and animal species ex-tinction, climate change, barren andpolluted land; poor air quality, unus-able and polluted water. It also willcontinue to cause world financialcatastrophe which causes politicaluprisings, human starvation and, ifleft unchecked, humanity’s eventualextinction.

According to footprintnetwork.org, a person’s Ecological Footprint iscalculated by considering the yearlyconsumption all of the biologicalmaterials as well as the direct andindirect carbon dioxide emissionsgenerated by that person.

All these materials andemissions are then individuallytranslated into an equivalent num-ber of global hectares. To accom-plish this, a person’s yearlyconsumption is divided by the yieldof the specific land or sea area fromwhich it was harvested, or where itswaste material was absorbed. Thissum, which gives the number of theglobal hectares needed to supportthe resource consumption and ab-sorb their carbon dioxide emissions,is that person's Ecological Footprint.

Instead of giving a number(which would be impossible be-cause there are too many vari-ables), this article will simplyprovide a series of questions foryou, the reader, to consider in thelifestyle choices that you make. Food Sources

Food has a bigger footprintthan the farm on which it is grown.Water, fertilizer and pesticides growit, packaging keeps it fresh andships it, and fuel transports it. Be-fore it ends up on your plate, yourfood may have traveled over 1000miles, unless you opt for locallygrown organic produce.

According to myfootprint.org,a vegetarian diet is “significantlyless land and energy intensive thana diet with a high proportion ofmeat, seafood, and dairy.” Also, avegetarian diet requires much lessland because animals need somuch more room.

Both meat and dairy havea large footprint because all of thefood that the animal ate when it wasalive is calculated into the equation.“And because meat productiondrives deforestation and requireshigh inputs of energy for processingand transportation, it also comeswith a high carbon footprint pricetag. Globally, it has been estimatedthat up to 18% of all greenhousegas emissions are associated withanimal product consumption.”

For dairy, there is also theexpense of pasteurizing, aging, andstoring the product until shipment.Daily, we waste enough food to feedthousands of people for a year. Tohelp reduce your food-based Eco-logical Footprint, try to significantlyreduce or eliminate your foodwaste, and eat less meat and dairy.You can also buy fresh, local foodsfrom farmers markets and other lo-cally owned sources or prefer natu-ral and/or organic foods markets.Another way to help reduce Ecologi-cal footprint would be to choosefood with the least amount of pack-aging. How often do you eat beef, pork,

7www.forsalelocal.net 815-725-SAVE www.facebook.com/FORSALELOCALchicken, fish or dairy?

The more animal products youeat, the larger your ecological footprintwill be, because animals require food toeat, which must be shipped to thefarmer, stored, and distributed to the ani-mals. The animals themselves createmethane gas and waste products whichmust be disposed of or reused. Whentaken to the stores, the meat must bebutchered, stored, refrigerated, andshipped to the stores. Even wild caughtgame or fish has an environmental im-pact, as, unless locally it must be trans-ported to your local grocery store, aswell as kept refrigerated.Is there any way that you can substi-tute one meal per day for vegetarian?

If you can replace a meat-in-tensive main dish with an equally deli-cious vegetarian dish, you’ll reduce yourEcological Footprint. Have a salad or apiece of fruit and some nuts. Do you have a garden or participatein community gardening?

In an era of peak oil, climatechange, and growing economic and po-litical insecurity, it’s more important thanever to shift from a global food economyto a local food economy. Local, smallscale food production helps to relieve in-dustrial agriculture’s enormous environ-mental impact and is an essentialsource of nutrition for those in need. According to myfootprint.org, Both homeand community gardens help to addresslack of access to fresh produce, makingthem a critical piece of a community'sfood security “can add $500 to $1200worth of produce per year to a family'sdiet – a big difference for low-incomefamilies.”

If you don’t have a garden oraccess to a community garden nearby,talk to your local lawmakers, schools,and business associations to get one for

your neighborhood. If nothing else, try togrow some herbs or small plants in awindowsill for consumption. How much food packing do I buy?

Your Ecological Footprint willbe affected by how far it travels, as wellas how it’s processed and packaged.According to myfootprint.org, “If yourfood comes from far away – such as outof season produce imported from acrossthe world – it requires lots of energy fortransportation and refrigeration.”

Highly processed food thatcomes in paper boxes are also not agood choice, as such packaging strainon forests. The less processed, morelocal, less packaged your food is, thesmaller your Ecological Footprint will be. Water SourcesAccording to myfootprint.org,household water requires energy forboth delivery and treatment and alsotakes water from other beneficial usessuch as irrigation or in-stream flow forfish and wildlife. “All of these impacts in-crease a household’s ecological foot-print, so saving water is a key strategyfor footprint reduction.”How much water do you use on adaily basis?

There’s showering, doing laun-dry, dishes, drinking, toilets, and swim-ming pools if you have one. Water is avery precious resource. Everything aliveneeds water to survive but only 2% ofthe earth’s water is drinkable. The morewater you can conserve, the smalleryour Ecological Footprint will be!What can you do to reduce consumption?

Regularly inspect sinks andpipes for leakage and fix them as youfind them. Can you set up a greywatersystem to water your plants instead ofusing fresh water? Just make sure thatthe water you’re using won’t kill the

plants because it’s contaminated withdetergents that will kill them. Instead oftaking a long, hot shower, consider tak-ing a shorter one. In addition to taking ashorter shower, install a low-flow show-erhead. Can you install mini hot-water-on-demand systems for sinks to avoidhaving to wait for the water to warm up?

Instead of leaving the water runwhile brushing your teeth, turn it off untilyou’re ready to rinse off your toothbrush.Instead of flushing the toilet all the time,consider leaving it in there if it’s onlyurine, and replace the bowl with a low-water consumption or composting toilet.If you have a dishwasher, only run itwhen it’s full, and only do full loads oflaundry instead of smaller loads. If youown a car, wash it rarely. Don’t hosedown your decks, walkways, or drive-way; let the rain do it instead. By doingeven one of these things to help con-serve water or recycle your greywater,you reduce your Ecological Footprint. Bydoing multiple things, you really canhave an amazing impact on the earth’sfuture.Do you use environmentally friendlychemicals?

Products used to clean floors,carpets, and bathrooms often containharmful chemicals that can contaminatewater supplies, fish, and wildlife if theyare poured down drains or disposed ofoutdoors. Humans can get sick or die iffrom chemicals in building materials,consuming or breathing them in.According to myfootprint.org, “Environ-mental damage can also occur duringthe development, manufacture, andtransport of these products. Fortunately,biodegradable and non-toxic alternativescan significantly reduce or eliminatethese impacts altogether while providingthe same level of cleanliness.”TransportationWhat form of transportation do youuse? Do you walk, use some sort of

human powered vehicle (HPV), use pub-lic transportation, use a vehicle or fly?All forms of transportation except walk-ing or HPVs like bikes – which use nofossil fuels, with rare exceptions, gener-ally run on non-renewable fossil fuels.The more you use these forms of trans-portation, the bigger your EcologicalFootprint is because they cause pollu-tion. Carpooling or using public trans-portation has a smaller EcologicalFootprint because it’s more efficient thaneverybody driving their own car.

The less fossil fuel we use, theless pollution we have, and the betterour air will be. Try doing at least onething to help reduce your dependenceon fossil fuel to help reduce your Eco-logical Footprint. Is there any way that you can reduceyour fossil fuel consumption?

Instead of making a lot ofsmaller trips, is there any way that youcan combine them in order to take careof them all at once? Is there any waythat you can carpool, use public trans-portation, walk, or use a HPV in order toget to work, the gym, socialize, or doyour grocery shopping? It may be a bitmore inconvenient, but you’ll be reduc-ing your Ecological Footprint.

In order to be able to determinewhat your Ecological Footprint, youneed to find out what types of questionsto ask and determine if there’s anythingthat you can do to make your impactsmaller. How much less would our Eco-logical Footprint be if we looked at eachof these questions and seriously askedourselves“What can I do to leave the world a bet-ter place for generations to come?” The answers could revolutionize theworld! n

How to Get Fit on a Dime Part 4: BIKING By Cathy Johnson

8One of the largest resolutions is to get fit or loseweight. While you can go out and spend a lot ofmoney hiring nutritionists, personal trainers, gymmemberships and fancy equipment, there aremany things that you can do without the addedcost. This series of articles will look at some ofthings you can do to get in better shape with mini-mal to no investment.

Before attempting any exercise plan, talk to yourdoctor to determine if you’re healthy enough for physical ac-tivity. If you’re interested in doing something that the doctorsays that you’re not healthy enough to do, consider ways youcan alter the activity within the limits of what you CAN do.

Biking is an activity that can be done just aboutanywhere, can accommodate a wide variety of fitness levels,and an activity that most people know how to do already, sothere’s no learning curve. There are indoor models and out-door models. Models that change gears automatically andmodels that are manual change. Some models offer armmovements, where others leave your arms in one position. It’sa great outdoor activity that gets fresh air or you can use it astransportation. It’s an efficient way to burn excess calories,and builds your core and lower body strength, as well as help-ing with leg muscle definition. It sheds body fat by increasingyour metabolism, improves cardiovascular health, and maymake you feel better overall through the release of endor-phins. According to the Mayo Clinic, incorporating bicyclingand other aerobic workouts into your exercise routine can re-duce the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteo-porosis, various types of cancers and type-2 diabetes, amongother ailments. Depending on body weight and ride intensity,you can burn 300- 500 per hour biking.

According to fitday.com, even if you don’t want togo outside, you might want to consider an hour-long station-ary cycling class. A stationary class “combines strenuousclimbs with short sprints, and is the ultimate biking workout.Each bike contains a knob that controls intensity, enabling youto add and take away resistance as you choose… If you’retaking a spinning class, don’t be afraid to… [increase the] re-sistance. To burn the most calories, your biking workoutshould leave you short of breath and drenched in sweat.”

Biking also is a relatively inexpensive, if you get asingle speed bike. Sometimes you can find older model, sin-gle speed bikes being given away or thrown out. Many times,all they need is a bit of TLC to bring them back to workingorder. As with anything, the more bells and whistles that youget, the more expensive the bike will be.

A Word about Safety It’s vitally important to wear proper safety gear

when riding outside. Dress for the weather; there’s no sensein getting overheated or frostbite from not dressing warmlyenough. It’s also a good idea to at least wear a helmet. It’salso a good idea to invest in elbow and knee pads, as well asfingerless gloves to help grip the handlebars to protect you inthe case of a fall. Even though it may be uncomfortable, suchprotective gear is important in case of falls. They may saveyou from scrapes and bruises, broken bones, concussion,paralysis or even death.

While riding outside with traffic, ride in the same di-rection, give proper signals, andwatch out for traffic. In doing so,you are much less likely to behurt by fellow motorists. Safetyequipment also includes reflec-tors, lights and wearing visible,reflective clothing when riding atnight so other motorists can seeyou. Teach your kids proper bikesafety by being an example,making sure that they useproper signals, and wear atleast a helmet. Hydration

If you’re riding a bike,it’s important to drink water be-fore, during, and afterwards. Be-fore heading out for a long bikeride, make sure to fill water bot-tle and know where you can getwater while en route. Accordingto familydoctor.org “Water regu-lates your body temperature, lu-bricates joints and helps transport nutrients for energy andhealth. If you’re not properly hydrated, your body will be un-able to perform at its highest level, and you may experience:fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness or more serious symp-toms.”

The American Council on Fitness has suggestedthe following basic water intake guidelines for people doingmoderate- to high-intensity exercise:

•Drink 17 to 20 ounces of water 2 to 3 hours before you start exercising•Drink 8 ounces of water 20 to 30 minutes before

you start exercising or during your warm-up•Drink 7 to 10 ounces of water every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise•Drink 8 ounces of water no more than 30 minutes after you exercise

Cycling Builds both Stamina & EnduranceAccording to healthyliving.azcentral.com, stamina

refers “to your cardio-respiratory system’s ability to work overtime, and endurance used to refer to your muscles' ability towork over time. If you exercise at high speeds and heart rates

for short periods, you’llbuild cardio capacity; whileworking at lower speedsand heart rates for longerperiods will help you buildcardio stamina.” The rea-son why cycling is a low-impact activity that buildsendurance by increasingaerobic capacity is be-cause it allows enthusiaststo ride for hours at a timewithout losing steam.

According to thedai-lygrind.robdamanii.com,the reason that aerobicsare important to cycling isbecause they are the foun-dation for all future intervalworkouts, and without it,the risk of injury and/orburnout is distinctly higherthan in a cyclist with aproper aerobic base. Formore competitive biking,

endurance training should account for several hours per weekof steady riding in an aerobic heart rate/power zone.

Why is endurance riding so important? Riding atendurance pace stimulates type 1 muscle fibers. These mus-cle fibers allow you to pedal for longer time periods without tir-ing or getting sore, as opposed to type 2 or anaerobic fiberswhich are responsible for quick bursts of power (such assprinting.) Stimulating these type 1 fibers causes them towork more efficiently, which means they contract with greaterforce for the same amount of oxygen utilized.

Cycling Helps with Weight Management & Fat Loss

www.forsalelocal.net 815-725-SAVE www.facebook.com/FORSALELOCAL9As with most cardio exercises, biking can help you lose

weight and keep it off. According to bicycling.about.com, grad-ual weight loss of about a pound a week is a wise goal whichhelps to maintain muscle tissue and will greatly increase yourchance of long term success. It helps keep off the weight byincreasing resting metabolic rate, “The higher your restingmetabolic rate, the more calories you burn even at rest. Soeight hours after your bike ride, sitting on your couch, you’restill burning extra calories!”

According to the International Bicycle Fund, com-muters who cycled to work lost an average of 13 pounds dur-ing their first year of bike commuting.Cycling Builds Strength, & Muscle Tone

Contrary to normal perceptions, cycling strengthensyour entire body, not just your legs since your whole body isinvolved in the activity. According to ehow.com, cycling builds the followingmuscle groups•Upper Legs: Pushing the pedals on abike engages your quadriceps, thelarge muscles in your thighs,and climbing hills or usingbigger gears will require moreeffort from these muscles. Theglutes are also engaged when thepedals down. According to adultcy-cling.com, “Regular cycling strength-ens leg muscles and is great for themobility of hip and knee joints.”•Lower Legs: on the upstroke of riding abike, you work your hamstrings. It also usesthe calf muscles to continue the force gener-ated by the quadriceps and hamstrings downthrough the foot and toes, especially during thebottom portion of the pedal stroke when the foot isclosest to the ground.•Arms and Shoulders: even though not use excessively, theyare primarily used to pump the handlebars from side to sideduring climbing on steep hills. Some arm, back and shoulderstrength is still required for cycling, however, if just to be ableto hold good cycling form over many miles during longer rides.•Core: Holding yourself in the correct body position for cyclingentails using the core to keep the back flat, shoulders downaway from the ears and stomach slightly sucked in. This bodyposition is the ergonomic ideal and will prevent fatigue and in-jury from many miles on the road, while also allowing for themaximum use of the leg and glute muscles.Cycling Builds Coordination

Arm-to-leg, feet-to-hands and body-to-eye coordi-nation are all improved by cycling Cycling is a Low Impact Exercise

Cycling improves general muscle function gradually,with little risk of over exercise or strain. According tofitday.com, a benefit of biking is that it won’t likely lead to kneeproblems. “Provided you don’t fall off… this movement will notlead to injury. Biking is a great physical activity regardless ofyour age or medical condition. If you suffer from chronic painor arthritis, it is a preferred method of exercise.” You can evenbike during rehabilitation, provided you follow your therapist’sorders and don’t overexert yourself. According tolivestrong.com, “To put minimal pressure on your knees whenyou ride your bike, take it to a bike shop and have your seatprofessionally fitted. This will allow you to sit at a height that

won't strain your lower body.”According to betterhealth.vic.gov.au, “Cycling im-

proves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help toprevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form ofexercise if you have osteoarthritis because it is a low-impactexercise that places little stress on joints. [However, it shouldbe noted that] Cycling does not specifically help osteoporo-sis… because it is not a weight-bearing exercise.”Cycling Reduces Cardiovascular Disease Risk

According to exercise4weight-loss.com, “when cycling for fit-

ness at a level that gets yourblood pumping and your circu-

lation moving you are lowingyour risk of heart disease.”

Betterhealth.vic.gov.aucontinues “Regular cy-

cling stimulates andimproves your heart,

lungs and circula-tion. Your heart

muscles arestrengthened,resting pulse

is lowered andblood fat levels re-

duced.” According to the British Medical

Association, cycling just 20 miles a weekcan reduce the risk of coronary heart disease

by 50%. A major study of 10,000 civil servantssuggested that those who cycled 20 miles over the pe-

riod of a week were half as likely to suffer heart disease astheir non-cycling colleagues.

According toReader’s Digest, “German re-searchers had 100 men withmild chest pain, or angina, ei-ther exercise 20 minutes aday on a stationary bike… [orget an] angioplasty, theyfound that a year after the an-gioplasty, 21 men suffered aheart attack, stroke, or otherproblem compared to only 6of the bikers.” Cycling Reduces Risk ofType 2 Diabetes

According tohealthyliving.msn.com, “Peo-ple in a Finnish study who ex-ercised the most—up to 4hours a week, or about 35minutes a day—dropped theirrisk of diabetes by 80%, evenif they didn’t lose any weight…Chinese researchers deter-mined that people with highblood sugar who engaged inmoderate exercise (and madeother lifestyle changes) were40% less likely to develop full-blown diabetes.” Cycling Reduces Expo-sure to Pollution

According to betterhealth.vic.gov.au, “Researchalso shows that there is often up to two to three times less ex-posure to pollution if riding to work by bike rather than travel-ling by car. So stress on lung function is reduced if you cycle.”Cycling Reduces Cancer Risk

According to livestrong.com, 30 minutes of moder-ate or higher intensity exercise on five or more days a weekhelps lower the lifetime risk of colon cancer. Such exercisesinclude: walking (or faster), dancing, biking, yoga, or swim-ming. “Begin slowly and gradually increase the frequency, du-ration and intensity of your workout. About 45 to 60 minutes ofphysical activity most days of the week is ideal.” Unfortunatelystrenuous cycling increases false positives of the PSA test, soif you begin a cycling routine, make sure to inform your doctorso that they will take it into account when performing that test. Cycling Makes you feel Good Overall

According to fitday.com “Many cardiovascular exer-cises, like running, swimming, and cycling, stimulate the re-lease of endorphins: hormones that block pain and enableyou to experience euphoric feelings.” Betterhealth.vic.gov.aucontinues that cycling may even help with “mental health con-ditions like depression, stress and anxiety can be reduced byregular bike riding. This is due to the effects of the exercise it-self and because of the enjoyment that riding a bike canbring.”

While biking may have a steeper initial cost thansome other exercises, once the bike and safety equipment isbought, provided you dress for the weather, you can bike al-most anytime and can incorporate them into your day withoutthe need expensive books or experts who tell you what to do.With a plan on what you want to do and how you want to do it,it’s an easy way to begin to lose weight.

“Be prepared” is the Boy Scout motto. This serieswill teach you how to be prepared

in various circumstances.Disasters can strike quickly and

without warning. It can cause you to need toevacuate your home or neighborhood or con-fine you to wherever you’re at. Local officialsand relief workers will be on the scene after adisaster, but they cannot reach everyone rightaway. If you’re prepared you can better han-dle almost any sort of emergency. Can You Survive?Take this quiz (part 3)Defense & Safety

Do you have any specialized training? The more survival training that you

have the better off you are. Keep in mind, in atrue area-wide (or larger) disaster you mayhave to protect yourself from those who wantwhat you have and may have to use anymeans necessary to prevent them from takingwhat you have saved up for you and yours.

All the time you spend readingblogs, watching instructional videos and learn-ing survival techniques should be offset bytime spent improving your survival training. Ifyou’re not willing to put the work in you won’tbe ready, when the time comes if it’s all inyour head and not practiced. Do you know how to defend yourself?

Despite the fact that no one wantsto be put into a situation where it’s a neces-sity, in an emergency situation, you may haveto defend yourself against other people, andpossibly wild animals. Consider the following:Martial Arts Training: If you’re in a close-quarters confrontation with robbers or looters,you may have to defend yourself withoutusing weapons. According to National Geo-graphic, “whichever program you chooseshould include some grappling and ground-fighting techniques. Those skills also may beuseful in controlling less-than-lethal threats,such as aggressive beggars, without having toinflict more harm than is necessary.” Are you and your family physically fit?

According to survivalblog.com,being active and physically fit and makingsure your family is as well greatly enhancesyour family’s survival probability by dramati-cally decreasing the likelihood of both diseaseand injury. While accidents and diseases hap-pen, strengthening your body increases youradaptability for survival by increasing theamount of general tiredness and stress yourbody can withstand. Due to the basic struggleof survival life, fatigue is the enemy. Knowingyour physical limitations, and those of yourfamily, increases your ability to plan activitiesand prolong survival.

Before getting into a survival situa-tion, you need to think about the types of ac-tivities that you would be doing such aswalking, climbing running, chopping fire-wood,pulling and pushing various objects, lifting andcarrying awkwardly shaped objects to andfrom camp are a decent starting point. Thinkfurther ahead and you could see fighting,hunting, building as well.

National Geographic continues thethought “All the combat training courses in theworld aren’t going to do you much good if youget winded easily, or don’t have strongenough muscles to handle the demands that alife-and-death situation may place on you…[It’s recommended you practice] a trainingregimen that emphasizes functional fitness.” Do you have any weapons training?

Weapons don’t necessarily alwaysmean guns. They also don’t have to be lethal,either. In the right situation basically anythingmay become a weapon, but it’s always best ina disaster or survival situation to be prepared.Do you know how to use knives, the bokken(Japanese wooden sword), clubs, bows/ar-rows etc? The more different types ofweapons you know to use in such a situationthe better off you are. Do you have guns? If so, how manydo you have? If so are they standard-ized? How much ammo for each? Doyou have training in their proper useand maintenance?

The more guns that you have, thebetter off you’ll be in the case of a disaster orsurvival situation. But at the same time, hav-ing many guns that you don’t have ammuni-tion for, don’t know how to shoot or cleandoesn’t do you any good.

National Geographic advises totake a combat or tactical shooting coursewhich better simulates the heat of battle. Insuch a course, you’ll learn how to adapt to fir-ing at a moving target while exposing yourselfas little as possible, survival skills and deci-sion-making. It also suggests that everyonetake a basic gun safety course. “Even if youdon’t really want to use a gun, it’s good toknow how at least how to keep from shootingyourself if you have to pick one up in an emer-gency.”Do you or someone in your groupknow 1st Aid?

In a survival or disaster situation,the more first aid you know, the better off youare. A basic Emergency Medical Techniciancertificate is very helpful in these types of situ-ations. A Paramedic certificate is even moreuseful. See 1st Aid sidebar for a complete listof things you should keep in your first aid kit. SecurityDo you have any security enhancements?Night Vision goggles are useful because thatmeans that you won’t have to rely on flash-lights, lanterns, or fire. No matter how muchlight you have, past the radius of where thelight reaches, you can’t see. The other prob-

www.forsalelocal.net 815-725-SAVE www.facebook.com/FORSALELOCAL11lem with lighting sources is that anyone out-

side the radius of the light can see you aswell. You might want to check out the toynight vision gizmo “Eyeclops” to do this. Itcosts $30-$60. Body Armor: Protectingyour body from bullets iscrucial, but you have tomake some compro-mises: protection vs. mo-bility. Protecting the headand torso with a helmetand vest, however, stillallows a prepper de-fender to have someagility. Fortification surveil-lance: According toArmy CorrespondenceCourse Program, “fortifi-cations are natural ormanmade protective fea-tures used as defensiveobstacles, personnel andweapons shelters, andprotected firing posi-tions.” You should sur-round the main houseand other critical areaswith a cordon of foxholesor barriers that give themcover as they shoot at in-truders. Obstacles thatslow both people and ve-hicles should also beconsidered. Listening and Observa-tion Posts, According toNational Geographicshould be “continuallymanned by lookouts onthe edge of a property, inorder to detect an im-pending attack and relaywarning back to the restof the community. Suchposts should be carefullyconcealed, ideally inwooded areas, so thatattackers don’t spot themand sneak up on them.” Communications: In anemergency you can’tcount on being able tokeep your cell phonecharged. Also, you don’tknow if the communica-tions satellites will befunctional.

National Geo-graphic that advises so-phisticated attacker[s]may be able to interceptwireless communica-tions. A buried land line connected to themain dwelling is a good idea; however, duringa confrontation or a medical emergency, it’sbest to have both a short-range radio such asa FRMS, GRMS, and/ or walkie-talkies, aswell long-range radio as a ham or short-waveradio.

Miscellaneous How many able-bodied people are

with you with similar or other useful training?What is the average level of training in thegroup? Just because a person doesn’t have

the same training asyou doesn’t meanthat they may nothave skills and/ortraining that you don’thave and can’t sup-plement what youknow.Do you have abug out vehicle?

According toNational Geographic,“To get there quickly,you’ll also need tohave some sort ofbug-out transporta-tion. A utility vehiclewith ample space isgreat, but a motorcy-cle, ATV, folding bicy-cle, or an adulttricycle with a basketfor cargo may makeit easier to slip away.”If so:•Is there roomenough for everyoneand all the equipmentyou’ll need? If yourvehicle is too small ortoo cramped, it’sgoing to be a veryuncomfortable rideout to your bug outshelter. •Does it have a fullgas tank? If you runout of gas before youget to your destina-tion, you’re going tohave to haul the restof the gear by footand it might be milesto your final destina-tion.•Does it have 4-wheel drive? Youmay encounter roughterrain, and have totake alternativeroutes other than theroads to get to yourbug out shelter Do you haveitems for barter-ing?

In a mass dis-aster/ “end-of-the-

world-as-we-know-it” situation people willwant the following:•Extra ammo to protect themselves •Extra food as they may not have enoughsaved up.

•Extra medical supplies as they may havesomething that you’re able to help with•Alcohol and /or tobacco: even if you don’tdrink or smoke with trade routes interrupted,it may be a long time before either is avail-able again. In such a situation, these mightbe more valuable than money. •Currency/ precious metals will always beuseful, because it’s lightweight, portable anduniversal in value.

How prepared are you physicallyand mentally for an emergency? See parts 4and 5 of Disaster preparedness for more in-formation on how to do so.

By having some basic emergencytraining, and following the tips presented inthese articles, it can help you get throughmany emergency situations. If you needtraining, don’t hesitate to get it. If you need toget help, don’t be afraid to ask. Don’t neglectgetting your emergency kit put together now.Know what to do. It could save a life, maybeyour own.n

Reasons to Be Single Cooking my own meals would be an adventure, not a punishment.I wouldn't have to explain why I'm wearing "that" shirt with "those" pants.I could leave the toilet seat in any position I please.I could actually tell the bartender, "If anyone calls, I'm here".When I get home after work, I don't have to start work again.I would have saved $372,416.21 in groceries by now.I'd get to see what my paycheck looks like.I'd get to see what my credit cards look like.Bachelors don't have Mother-in-laws.I wouldn't have to watch sub-titled French films.I wouldn't have a driving instructor grading me every time I go some-where.

14 A lady went into a bar in Austin and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest feet she'd ever seen. The woman asked the cowboy if it's true what they say about men with big feet. The cowboy grinned and said, "Shore is, little lady! Why don't you come on out to the bunk house and let me prove it to you?"The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him. The next morning shehanded him a $100 bill.Blushing, he said, "Well, thank ya Ma'am. I'm real flattered. Ain't no-body ever paid me fer mah services before.""The woman replied, "Don't be flattered ...take the money and buyyourself some boots that fit."

Knowing Your StatesThe old pastor made it to a practice tovisit the parish school one day a week.He walked into the 4th grade class,where the children were studying thestates, and asked them how manystates they could name.They came up with about 40 names.He jokingly told them that in his daystudents knew the names of all thestates.One lad raised his hand and said, "Yes,but in those days there were only 13."

Man: "I'd like to call you. What's your number?"Woman: "It's in the phone book."Man: "But I don't know your name."Woman: "That's in the phone book too."

70-year-old George went for his annual physical. All of his tests came back

the light goes on when I pee, and then (poof!) the light goes off when I'm done."

"Wow," commented Dr. Smith, "that's incredible!"

A little later in the day Dr. Smith calledGeorge's wife. "Thelma," he said,

"George is just fine.

Physically he's great. But, I had to call becauseI'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it truethat he gets up during the night and (poof!) thelight goes on in the bathroom, and then (poof!)

the light goes off?"

Thelma exclaimed, "That old fool! He's peeing inthe refrigerator again!"

Divorced BarbieA man walks into a store to buy a Barbie dollfor his daughter. "How much is that Barbie in

the window?" he asks the shop assistant.In a manner she responds, "Which Barbie? Wehave Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Bar-bie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes

Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to theBeach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing

for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $395.00."The guy asks, "Why is Divorced Barbie differ-

ent from all the others?""That's obvious," the assistant states, "Di-vorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's

car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture..."

We Deliver

The owner of a small deli was being questioned by an IRS agent about his tax re-turn. He had reported a net profit of $80,000 for the year.

"Why don't you people leave me alone?" the deli owner said. "I work like a dog, every-one in my family helps out, the place is only closed three days a year...and you want

to know how I made $80,000?"

"It's not your income that bothers us," the agent said. "It's these deductions. You listedsix trips to Bermuda for you and your wife."

"Oh, that," the owner said smiling. "Didn't I mention? We deliver anywhere..."

How to Spring Clean: Outdoor Spring Cleaning

by C.D M

einhardt

It’s spring and time again to doeverything that you’ve waited allwinter to do. Each part in this series will tackle one room or moreof the house and tell you what youcan do to clean them.

When looking outside, theamount of things to do can seem over-whelming, but taking a step-by-step ap-proach can make this daunting taskeasier. It also helps if you do things sys-tematically from top to bottom to avoidhaving to duplicate your efforts. Clean Decks & Porches.

Since they are always exposedto the elements, they need special care tokeep them in the best shape. Sweep offthe porch or deck to remove debris from it.Spray with a cleaner specific for the sur-face: wood or brick. Clean and rinse it,using water and a brush or a pressurewasher, being careful not to damage itssurface, and give time to dry. Apply weedkiller if weeds are present. If refinishing orsealing is needed, apply and let dry beforeusing.Get Your Grill Ready by cleaning it.

Clean the grill inside and outwith a wire brush and soap, making sureto remove rust. Examine burners on gasgrills for rust, and clean, checking theburner holes to make sure they aren’tclogged. If necessary, use a bent paper-clip to clean them out. If the grill needspainting, lightly sand and wash; let dry andcoat with high heat spray paint Set up Compost

There are a variety of ways ofmaking a compost bin: from wire to oldpallets, to off-the-ground tumbling models.Whichever model you use, here are someof the tips to make your compost pile asuccessful one. According to howtocom-post.org, you should

•Gather all grass clippings andgreen yard waste but be sure to mix withthe "brown" materials like leaves andshredded paper to add carbon. You willneed both, but if you only add grass clip-pings your pile will compact and start tostink.

•Do not compost meats, as theycan attract rodents and other wild animalsyou don’t want digging in the pile.

•Pet waste can be composted,and if done properly. According to ftp-fc.sc.egov, “Left alone, dog waste can pol-lute ground and surface water, attract fliesand pests, cause an unpleasant odor, andcreate unsanitary living conditions fordogs. Dog waste can also transmit para-sites and infectious diseases…Compost-ing dog waste is a simple and inexpensive

method for disposing of dog waste thatcan enhance the environment and reducethe amount of waste deposited in landfillsComposting removes raw dog waste fromthe environment where it can pollutegroundwater and streams.” It should benoted that it’s not recommended for usefor vegetable gardens or fruit trees. Usingit for landscaping, non-fruit bearing trees,and potted plants is fine, however.

•Avoid all pesticides and/or her-bicide treated material.

•If you add weeds to your pilemake sure your pile is good and hot. Itshould be steaming hot, not just warm oth-erwise it may not kill the seeds.

•Turn your pile as often as youcan. Each time you turn it will speed upthe process. A multiple bin system makesthis possible. As one bin fills up, turn it intothe next bin, and start filling the first again.By the time the first is filled up; turn thesecond pile over to the third, where it willfinish decomposing. Once you use thecompost for something, start a new pile inthe 3rd section, turning it over to anotherpile that had the least amount of compost-ing material in it.

•Keep your compost damp butnot wet. As you add material to your pilemake sure that each layer is moist as it isadded. During the summer your pile willdry out and the composting process willslow down.

•Add compost to your garden afew weeks before you plant. Let the com-post have a chance to work into the soil.Try to mix it in and let it sit before youplant.

•Bugs, worms and most bugsare ok. No need to go crazy trying to keepbugs out of your compost. You can evenbuy composting worms that will speed upthe process, but don’t buy simple earth-worms, as they will die in the heat of thecompost.

•Since the compost processworks best at temperature between 120and 150 degrees composting in thewarmer months is easier to do, if this isyour first attempt at composting best to tryin the summer. Clean rain barrel

Disconnect and drain the rainbarrel from the downspout feeding it. Turn-ing the barrel on its side, inspect both in-side and outside of the barrel for cracks.With a long-handled brush and a solutionof vinegar water, or light bleach water so-lution, clean the barrel, making sure to re-move any algae growth, and debris. Makesure the spigot works properly. Clean andrinse gutter with a garden hose to be sureit is draining properly. Replace meshscreen at the top of the gutter downspoutto filter out larger debris.

clean, or replace the mesh screen onyour rain barrel if it’s too worn. Thisscreen filters out smaller debris from en-tering into your rain barrel, insects andanimals from falling into the barrel,thereby reducing overall maintenance.Rinse your barrel again and let dry, toawait the next rain. Clean Out the Garage & Shed

Cleaning out your garage willprobably take a bit of time. Put aside anentire weekend if you’re able to do so,and get everyone involved.

Before you get started you’llwant a system of organization. Start onone wall, taking everything down andsort into piles, such as tools, fasteners,Christmas ornaments, collectibles,sports equipment, etc. Wikihow.com hasthis advice, “Be methodical, as the morethings that you can place together in re-lated groups, the easier it will be to seewhat you want to keep, what you have induplicate and what you no longer wantor need.”

As you get piles of relateditems, box or crate them up. It’s a goodidea to buy stackable airtight boxes orcrates with lids on them. You can storesmall knickknacks in baby jars mountedto the underside of a cabinet or old,washed out margarine containers. Labelthe containers appropriately so you canfind them later on. Don’t forget to have ajunk box for all those items that don’t fitbelong anywhere else. Before puttingeverything back away, dust, sweep, andmop to make it as clean as possible. Ifyou need to fix or paint anything, now’sthe time to do so.

Stack containers out of theway where they can easily be accessi-ble. Take anything that you don’t useanymore and donate, recycle, plan tosell or throw away. If you haven’t usedsomething for a year or longer, you prob-ably don’t need it. Sell, donate, recycleor throw it away instead.

Now you have much of theitems in garage organized, look aroundand see how you might better organizeyour space. Will cabinets, shelving,racks, hooks or pegboard help you storeeverything? Will you need to set asidecertain areas for carpentry, sports, gar-dening, and/or hobbies? How muchworkspace do you need for each ofthese? According to tlc.howstuffworks.com, “A neat and tidy look combined with agreat deal of storage can be achievedwith this equipment displayed on thewalls rather than scattered on the floor.”

If you’re handy with tools, youcan build your own. Don’t want to messwith it? Go to the store and buy a pre-made storage system or look in thisissue of FOR SALE LOCAL and contactour advertising contractors. According to tlc.howstuffworks.com,“Built-in shelves provide plenty of spacefor paint cans, spray bottles, mulch,buckets, automotive supplies, flowerpots, and boxes and bags of all descrip-tions…Arrange them on the shelves bycategory, putting like items together.”

Gardening enthusiasts willneed a place for repotting, sprouting, fer-tilizing, and seeding blossoms as well as

ample storage space for potting soil,pots, sprinkling cans, etc, which can bestored in crates and bins can be used tobuild a tidy area that demands little floorspace. Hoes, rakes, shovels and othergardening tools can be stored in a rackor tool strip. Consider how you can use ceiling space.

You can store canoes, bikes,ladders, luggage, and more out of theway with chains and hooks. If you put aceiling-level shelf you can store infre-quently or seasonally, such as campinggear, outdoor Christmas decorations orlights, or window screens and stormdoors.

Perhaps there's a hobby areain one corner and workshop equipmentin another. Decide where these will go,then move on to figure out how to storeeverything.More on outdoor spring cleaning in ournext issue. n
