Do androids dream of automated transportation 2-23-2017


I just awoke , Thursday at 1am, from a dream that had my focus and attention.

When i have panic attacks, I feel as if Olivia as i know her is fading away. In my dreams however she remains real and conciously present. 
The dream is a Birdseye view of the highways, all the traffic in the rain, slowly making its way. I hear Elon musk speaking, he says soon there will be off ramps where pods are stored. Soon automation will be the main form of movement... My history and love of Jpods (an alternative transportation system) comes into my mind. I find myself parked on the side of the road in the piece of shit honda my mother owns.  Two absolute chunk ugly cars pull up next to me. The first car is filled with a family of 4, the fathers energy calls to me. A second car, same situation. 
I turn around in my backseat, to where i have somehow manifested both fathers. I look them both in their eyes and say
“We are all here for a purpose “ i squeeze my eyes tight as i feel some sense of unease, like this world isnt real.. like something wasn’t real… I could sense this dream realm.. But i pushed onward with my conviction. I couldn’t catch what that feeling was exactly, but i open back my eyes and push onward. I looked them hard in their eyes. Trying to pull their attention, their powers. I needed their help, somehow.
Next we are in a building where i push and pursued them to listen to my proposal on Jpods.
This fight for listening/attention is to no avail. I never catch them long enough, they’d rather talk about family, and how the kids are. 
The rest of the dream is me driving, and catching diseases along the way. 
Some how in relation to where i am now, Instead of catching attention for business ideas, I’m catching the hungry eye of ....
The diseases look like my skin is molding. First a white web, like mycelium, then a mucky yellow. The fear was strong and the distraction was pulling.
Any how. I appear to be awake. I can find confirmation of that. It doesn’t mean however that I am in fact awake. How strange to be so confident in a dream, to then wake so confidently into reality to wake so confidently that my confidence is vanished.

Bella Napoli / Green Business Meeting 5-8-2018

I was present for a green business meeting hosted by BTG this Tuesday. The focus was food waste and the ways to improve. Bella Napoli is a family restaurant that thrives off of the threads of relationships it has weaved throughout the years. Bella Napoli is more than a conversation or one plate of pasta. It is a moment we share together that gets us through the lesser days. Behind these moments are the details of the work place.  Making lists, ordering products, organizing, prepping, serving, and of course loving. There is however more to our story, and that story continues in our trash bins. As much as a passing smile can carry itself through the day, so too does our trash carry itself way beyond our bins. Food waste is one of our beautiful problems. Sending food to the landfill creates methane. Creating a conversation about composting the wasted, and donating the left overs is not only something we can benefit from as a family who cares about their ho...

Volunteering

When I left public high school, I found myself searching for education in nontraditional ways. This desire led me to volunteering.. I have been an avid volunteer for over 12 years. This is not for curriculum or requirements, I volunteer because it's the most direct action I can take. Donating money is the next best thing, but it's a dry exchange that limits engagement and ability to see where the help* goes. I began with recycling events, tree planting, invasive plant removal, and recycling education. These events and actions put me face to face with my community and my communities core issues regarding consumption, waste, and pollution. It's a practice to do something for nothing. These days instant gratification in social media or consumption leaves us hungry and hopeless to do something that pays off for future gain. To invest in the future may leave our hands empty for now, but the payoff is always greater than the initial handout.

Chemicals & plastics 4-19-2018

Carbon Storage sinks trees soil 1% leaves 40% trunks/branches 45% soil/organic matter 13% roots 1%debris  Total soil carbon ecosystem storage around 80tons /acre Plants grow by making sugar(carbohydrates) from carbon dioxide (co2+h20)- sharing theses sugars with soil microbes who in exchange feed the plant. Sugars- fed to mycorrhizal fungi which give minerals Fungi attach to roots to exchange in a symbiotic relationship. The relationship builds better soil with aggregates to maintain moisture by a sticky protein called glomain(soil carbon)  Feeding bacteria colonies whose enzymes break soil into nutrients.`  Plastic is made from PETROLEUM, derived from petroleum > these raw finite materials come from a “Cracking process”- breaking hydrocarbons- oil- a carbon rich material. Polymers are made up of carbon hydrogen (links of monomers) 2015. 9.1 billion tons ^ of plastic have been produced since 1950.  Those are still in our environmen...
