We have to be purposeful about ending the use of fossil fuels because they’re not going to end themselves anytime soon. While wind and solar are cheaper, they are not as profitable. Therein lies the problem.

Wallbuddy Vintage Botanical Chart German Educational Chart from 1800's Botanical Chart Rare Botanical Print Botanical Poster Large Botanical WBBLBOT2 (8 x 10) All of our prints are created by a process called GiclΓ©e (a French word for "spray'). The inks used in this process have a much higher resistance to fading than normal printing inks, which makes this kind of printing particularly suitable for prints being used in wall decor. I use the best quality printing paper - Epson Premium Lustre Paper and inks - Archival Pigment inks. The specially coated surface of this paper enhances the colour depth and vibrancy of each print. It also comes with a guarantee of lifetime fade resistance. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the print only, does not include the frame

I love those old illustrations too. At the beginning of the last century, there were some lovely posters made for European (?German) schoolchildren to teach them plant structure. Like this one: www.amazon.co.uk/Vintage-Bota...

Some thoughts:

1. Consciousness

2. Independence from electricity - either mains or battery.

3. Ability to convert food to activity.
