Olomana Gardens Permaculture and Aquaponics takes viewers on an in depth tour of this certified organic demonstration farm. In this 60 minute film we learn about permaculture as practiced at Olomana Gardens in Waimanalo. Permaculture is basically about reducing waste: using everything and not throwing anything away. The main aim is to create living and sustainable systems. It is an ecologist's dream of actively conserving world life and resources. The film focuses on the synergy between animals and plants. A big feature is the aquaponics section. Aquaponics comes from aquaculture coupled with hydroponics. This type of growing sytem combines fish raising and production of organic vegetables. It has the potential of supplying vast numbers of people with a sustainable and ecologically healthy supply of protein and vegetables at a minimal investment with quick results
WELCOME!!! Please, no "buy/sale friends" and/or "mafia" apps allowed... Thanks! + '...When and where people think Collectively firstly(not to be mistaken for "group-think mindsets"), the Plight and Well Being of the Individual is advanced all the more... and with the attendant benefit of a Social Safety Net that is knitted with the joining of Collective Hands For The Public Good...' www.myspace.com/105eastam '...INBEAT...'

What is '...INBEAT...'? Listen ... and Think '...INBEAT...' (International Beat) Song by ZMMM: "...People get ready..." http://www.myspace.com/ziggymarley ................................... Think of '...INBEAT...' as being a '...Global Community...' that belongs to all of its Members... Just like an Internet based United Nations, if you will. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of '...Precisioned Initiatives...' that the Community can execute. Because of the precisioned attributes of the '...Envisioned Initiatives...', they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing "programs". Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming directly from their '...Source Of Origin...'.
