Peace Building A Vision of World Peace in Mankind’s Fight For Survival

Peace Building A Vision of World Peace in Mankind's Fight For Survival - Can we battle nationalism and imperialism? - Is there any better time to start than this holiday season when peace on Earth and goodwill to man is the theme?

Some of us may have different ideas of world peace and of peace building, and these may seem like a vision that is unattainable to some, if not most of us at times. Nationalism and imperialism seem to be major obstacles in attaining these goals, as we will further review those two topics later on in the article. To begin with, from the Free Dictionary by Farlex.

  • Peace
    1. The absence of war or other hostilities.
    2. An agreement or a treaty to end hostilities.
    3. Freedom from quarrels and disagreement; harmonious relations.
    4. Public Security and order.
    5. Inner contentment, serenity (peace of mind).

The timing for this article seems truly important, as on one hand we have destructive weather stretching across the globe, and we have ongoing wars that seem to have no ongoing peace building attempts, and world peace is but a far reach at best. It is also the holidays, where peace on Earth and goodwill towards man is the theme, and that for most of us, we put our differences away for a few days, and celebrate the birth of Christ, a live together in peace and harmony for the most part. Some of us even manage a smile and some courtesies we normally would not bother with. Continue Reading Peace Building A Vision of World Peace in Mankind’s Fight For Survival Here

Sustainable Building Materials

We can all use sustainable building materials like those used in this house to lower our negative impact on the environment!

You might want to consider using sustainable building materials if you are planning on building a new home or renovating an existing one. Sustainable building products have come down in price over the past few years. You may be able to receive a tax credit for using them. And you’ll be doing a large part to help the environment.

What Are Sustainable Materials?

Sustainable building products are products that are easily replenished. They all come from sustainable resources which can be restored quickly and will have a detrimental effect on the environment when harvested. Continue Reading Sustainable Building Materials Here

The Environmental Impact of Building Campfires How to Campfire Safely

The environmental impact of building campfires how to campfire safely, while building a campfire seems like a natural way to enjoy the wilderness. And campfires are cozy and delightfully primitive. However, they can be potentially damaging or dangerous.

What impact can campfires have on the environment?

Campfires can get out of control. Man-made forest fires and wildfires do enormous amounts of environmental damage each year. And these types of fires are entirely preventable.

When a fire rages out of control, animal and plant life are lost. Entire habitats are destroyed. While nature did account for some natural fires to occur (and in fact, some plants and animals thrive in burned areas), man-made fires can occur in areas not intended by nature to experience burning.

The Benefits of Compressed Earth Blocks for the Environment

The Benefits of Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs) for the Environment

CEBs are an ancient building material and technique – just ask the ancient Egyptians! There is no question such structures are durable. Buildings made with these blocks have lasted hundreds and even thousands of years. As people are becoming more concerned about the environment and sustainable building materials, compressed earth block construction is enjoying a resurgence.

With modern techniques, CEBs, are more durable and effective than ever. Instead of the ancient method of pressing by hand, machines press a mixture of earth, clay, and sometimes sand into sturdy blocks. The blocks are then stacked by hand like bricks, held together with a thin layer of slurry made from the same material as the blocks but thinned down with water.
