I just found out today that the video that I was interviewed for has been posted on the American Farmland Trust (AFT) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) websites and on youtube.
Check it out, my video is #3. There are more videos in the series but #3 is mine and it turned out very well. It is well worth watching and is just a snippet of everything we discussed but still got a lot of information in it.
The star of the show is my first cow 50!!!! She got almost as much air time as me!!
We were also featured in an article for the program as well. This year they are looking to grow the program and reach more people. This program has the ability to affect the world as we know it. Similar programs are used elsewhere in the world already.
Here is a simple example of how it works. Power companies supply the electric that powers the world. Everyone relies on them daily for even the simplest task. However, the side product of being able to read this post, make coffee for your breakfast, turn on the lights in your house, or even pump the water that you use to feed your family and clean, is pollution. The power companies, and many other businesses have already spent an unthinkable amount of money trying to eliminate this pollution. However, the law of diminishing returns cannot be avoided and eventually the cost per unit of pollution control is unrealistic and un-achievable.
Lets say you take $10,000 and invest it on pollution control measures at an electric power plant. Lets say the return on investment equals one nutrient credit or one unit of pollution control. Now, take that $10,000 and invest it in a grass roots location where the impact per dollar is greater. That same $10,000 invested into a project like mine can create 450 or more units of pollution control. The return on investment and the impact that comes with it is enormous. It also affects every single person that comes in contact with the water that this affects.
Every drop of water that flows down a ditch along your street, gets flushed down your drain, runs off of a field, or any other runoff ends up in the ocean eventually and takes with it anything that is dissolved in it or carried by it with it. If this gets out of balance with what is naturally normal you get pollution problems. A program like this would take the money being spent on small gains at a power plant out into the rest of the world and can help farms, small towns, and small businesses that are not able to financially do it on their own but genuinely want to make a difference.
So please watch all the videos, read the article, educate yourselves and share this information with someone you know. I am very happy to be involved with this program and I am encouraged by the possibilities I see ahead.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
Kenny
