LEARN ABOUT CREATURES
(IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS)
this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.

When you smell the rotten egg smell of well water - that's hydrogen sulfide - and potassium permanganate can be used to reduce the smell.
Lovely - in large quanities it can be used to induce abortions and is classified as "Main hazards Oxidant (O), Harmful (Xn), Dangerous for the environment (N)"
??? I may not know how to read wikipedia chemical information...but this is why I am shopping for a reverse osmosis filter. Minneapolis will spend $200,000 telling us the water is fine.

Apparently, organic matter enters the Mississippi and causes algae and other things to grow - imparting a horrible taste.
