| But until that plant has a root system and leaves that can soak up solar energy, it has to rely entirely on the nutrients in the seed.
Sprouts are perfect foods
When you eat a sprout, you are eating those nutrients in their activated form. These nutrients have been "enlivened." That is, they have been catalyzed into vitamins and minerals that didn't even exist when the seed was waiting to germinate. But once that seed germinates, complex chemical reactions take place in the seed that prepare it for life... and this creates new vitamins, antioxidants and phytonutrients. |

 Each tiny blade of grass, every vine, tree, bush, flower, fruit and vegetable draws its life from solar energy. All living things on earth depend on solar energy for their very existence. This earth would be a barren, frigid place if it were not for the magic rays of the sun. The sun gives us light and were it not for sunshine, there would be no you or me. The earth would be in everlasting darkness.
Human beings were never meant to have pale skins, not even the fair northern races. |

| While the plants have leaves that turn solar energy into usable plant energy, you have digestive enzymes and specially designed red blood cells that can transport nutrients to every single cell in your body. While a plant respirates and exchanges air and chemicals with its surrounding environment, you also respirate. Your lungs do the work for you without you even being aware that you're breathing.
These and literally billions of other biological events happen automatically without your knowledge and even without conscious attention on your part. |

 Generally, the village selects someone to train at the college, and that person then returns to install and maintain the solar energy for their community. Women who have very little independence or clout in their village often find that they become impromptu community leaders once they return and demonstrate their new skills. And all of this is achieved without elaborate textbooks.
The developing world is littered with failed solar projects set up by charitable organizations that only had the funds to install them, not to maintain them. |

| And they are designed to absorb solar energy and convert it into an internal power source. They are able to respirate and exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with their surrounding environment. They do all this naturally, without having to understand how it works. In other words, a sunflower plant does not have to have a degree in plant biology or photosynthesis in order to actually conduct photosynthesis. It does it automatically.
The same thing is true in human beings. You can be healthy without having to understand the miracles of how your body actually works. |

 Here, at the first step, Nature dictates the necessity of animal life upon the underlying matrix of Sun-imbued plant life - animal respiration depends specifically on solar energy.
The foods we eat are energy reservoirs of transformed Sun energy. Through photosynthesis, plants capture energy from the Sun and lock that power into their stems, leaves, seeds, roots and fruits. All animals are transformed plants. The body of the zebra is nothing more than grass. The body of the lion is also grass, as it preys on the grass-eaters. |

 The eyes also, in addition to the skin, are the entry point of solar energy from the sun. The sun is not a toxin, as you are being led to believe. The lack of sun causes deficiencies in the body, leading to imbalances and disease. The major form of toxins that come in through the eyes are images that cause bad emotions. Today there are more violent images on television, in the movies, in newspapers and magazines, video games, and books than ever before. Repeated exposure to negative, ugly, disturbing images causes the body to become acidic. |
| There is also a very important additional benefit available from solar energy and the sun and that is called "sun gazing." (www.solarhealing.com) Sun gazing is actually looking at the sun. This can only be done right after sunrise or right before sunset. Other times would be too dangerous for the eyes. However, the health benefits of sun gazing go even beyond that of sunbathing. I would encourage you to go to this Web site to learn more information on sun gazing. |

 To meet electricity needs, they created wind power, solar energy, energy derived from animal waste, and even geo-thermic storage. They also found ways to reduce the amount of energy they used. To their surprise, they discovered that tourists prefer organic, local dishes and are even willing to pay more for them. Now a significant part of the farming is organic, and farmers sell directly to local shops and restaurants.

| In 1985, renewable sources, including windpower, small-scale hydro, geothermal, biomass, and solar energy, accounted for almost 5 percent of total U.S. energy consumption. Since 1976, the price of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight directly to electricity, has dropped by a factor of 10. The world market for photo-voltaics has grown fifty fold. Experts predict that the price gap between utility-supplied electricity and photovoltaic cells will be bridged within a decade. Commercial uses of windpower and solar energy are proving their potential. |

| Every living thing on the planet, with rare exception, cannot live without solar energy from the sun. Virtually every living thing on Planet Earth needs the sun to survive. (There are rare exceptions to this, of course.) The human body needs sunlight to function at optimal levels and be healthy. Without sunlight, a whole host of physical abnormalities and diseases become prevalent. |

| He is actually dying for the want of solar energy! Weak, ailing and anemic people are all sun-starved and - in my opinion - many people are sick simply because they are starving for gentle sunshine.
The sunshine's gentle rays have powerful germicidal properties. As the skin gathers these gentle rays, it stores up enormous amounts of this germ-killing energy. The sun provides one of the finest remedies for the nervous person who is filled with anxiety, worry and frustration.

 This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because it ignores the fact that the earth is a closed system, while the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can't be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half of our oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. |

| Overdoses of solar energy, both on the outside and the inside of the body, are not good. Regarding exposure to the sun, it's quite necessary to use good judgment and always proceed with caution.
At this point I must add a personal touch. At 16 years of age I had been sentenced to death with deadly tuberculosis. The greatest doctors in the United States declared me "Hopeless! Incurable!"

| As you bask in the warm sunshine, millions of nerve endings absorb the solar energy and transform and store them into more Vital Force for your nerves and body.
Perform this experiment to determine the value of sunshine in the matter of life and death. Find a beautiful patch of lawn where the grass is like a green carpet. Cover up a small space of that beautiful lawn with a small piece of wood or metal. Day by day you will notice that the beautiful grass that was so full of plant blood, or chlorophyll, will start to fade and turn a sickly yellow. Then the tragedy happens. |
| Green plants alone possess the secret of how to capture this powerful solar energy and pass it on to man and every other living creature.
When you put sunshine on the outside of your body and 60% to 70% raw fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, you are going to glow with radiant health! But these are powerful and must be taken in small doses at the start, because your sun-starved body has to slowly get used to these cleansing, solar-powered foods. |

 The feasible renewable alternatives which have been studied and used for decades include hydroelectric power, solar energy, wind power, tidal power, geothermal power, ocean thermal gradients and solar power satellites which could beam microwaves to the Earth's surface. Each of these sources has its advantages and disadvantages. While conventional renewable energy options are basically clean and sustainable, they are often susceptible to high capital costs, diffusiveness and intermittence. They can also appreciably alter the landscape with unsightly dams, turbines, windmills and solar farms. |

 We eat the carbohydrate and, in the presence of oxygen from the air, break it down and release the stored solar energy that then provides energy for the body and mind.
When you eat complex carbohydrates like whole grains, vegetables, beans, or lentils, or simpler carbohydrates such as fruit, the body does exactly what it is designed to do. It digests these foods and gradually releases their potential energy. What is more, all the nutrients that the body needs for digestion and metabolism are present in those whole foods. |

| Through its new tax structures and incentives to develop solar energy, the Germans provide an example of what must be pursued globally for our own survival. Upon this, a strong scientific consensus is emerging, and it is beyond technology and invention. It will ultimately depend on civil actions which will result in a restructuring of governmental, social and market systems that transcend current practices. We shall return to this question in Part II. But energy is not our only problem. Next we will look at how to redress other biospheric challenges.

| Their light gravities and the availability of full-time solar energy in high orbits would allow the human economy to expand far beyond its terrestrial limits. Remarkably, we could do all this with today's technology. But from my newer perspective as an ecologist, I now have second thoughts of expanding our polluting enterprises beyond Earth while we keep soiling our own nest. The post-industrial exploration of space could become appealing once we have created sustainability here and have developed advanced technologies such as anti-gravity. |

As I was driving home today, one of those pickup trucks that belong more in Wyoming than downtown Boston cut me off. Just before it sped off, I caught a glimpse of its bumper sticker: beef, it said, because the west wasn't won on salad. I chuckled to myself; I'd never seen beefeaters' backlash before. But in a few weeks, I'd see more: a T-shirt that said vegetarian: old west for "lousy hunter. |

But it is not the only boat in the green armada.

*A milliequivalent is the scientific unit for something so small that it defies measurement.
Plant remains and microbial cells are incorporated into the soil with animal remains, where they form a complex of organic matter that has not yet been transformed into humus. One part of this complex is subsequently mineralized and reabsorbed by plants and another part is humified. |
