Nestlé: A Real Life Horror Movie - This "story of Nestle" business mini-movie looks at the controversial history of Nestle, including scandals Nestle has been involved in, and accusations against the Nestle group. However, as well as looking at the dark world of Nestle, and Nestle's disturbing history of controversies & scandals, we'll also learn the story of how Nestle began from humble beginnings with a life-saving product. Honestly, Nestle is a fascinating business story, especially given how often Nestle is brought up online as being one of the most hated / most evil companies. So... What's the real truth about Nestle?

Based in New Mexico, his goal is to create self-sufficient,
off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in
eco-harmony. He uses discarded modern by-products found locally, and
integrates them into construction materials that can be used to build a
sustainable home.
Earthships can be custom built or purchased, just like typical real
estate through an online network of individual sellers. These homes have
been built worldwide and varying environments, highlighting the
versatility of this concept.
Earthship Biotecture is described as:
Earthship n. 1. passive solar home made of natural and recycled materials 2. thermal mass construction for temperature stabilization. 3. renewable energy & integrated water systems make the Earthship an off-grid home with little to no utility bills. Biotecture n. 1. the profession of designing
buildings and environments with consideration for their sustainability.
2. A combination of biology and architecture. To specifically design and build homes that…
100% solar with battery backup that provides power for up to two weeks without a drop of sun.
Maintains 70F internal temperature w/o any heating or cooling system whatsoever (solar gain and passive geothermal)
Catchwater and cistern – requires 9 inches of rainfall per YEAR to provide adequate water for home use
Massive room for indoor plants (grow bananas in Alaska), as well as greywater and blackwater for large outdoor gardens.
Costs less and lasts longer than traditional housing

People have become more and more aware of the fact that we can’t
keep wasting all the natural resources of Mother Earth because in the
end they will be gone, so we must start looking for some other materials
to use or, even better, to start re-using and recycling the ones we
already have. This is how a few open-minded people started a “green
project” called Earthship. This project promotes the building of eco
homes of of recycled materials, especially empty plastic bottles and old
car tyres. These make very good building materials, as they are sound
proof and also temperature insulating.
Used car tyres are filled with earth and then used as building
materials, being the “bricks” used in building the foundation and walls
of these eco homes. And, of course, you cannot connect to the normal
electricity supplies if you have an eco home, so you’d better use solar
panels or wind energy instead.The project was designed by Earthship
Biotecture in Taos, New Mexico, USA, nut now you can find these homes all over the world.
As both an internationally recognized expert on waste management and a consultant on pond construction, Dr. Jim Rogers has had plenty of experience building and lining ponds. He offers the following general advice on pond building, but points out that each situation calls for its own plan.
If you need a liner, use clay when it's available nearby, because the transportation will be relatively inexpensive.
Clay should be placed and compacted into a layer at least 12 inches thick for a pond up to 10 feet deep. Increase this thickness by 1 inch for each foot of water over 10 feet.
Don't be concerned if you see surface cracks along a dry pond edge; they will come together again when wet. Cracks are a sign of a clay bottom.
Rogers has used four kinds of synthetic liners, each with pros and cons. The two he has used most often are HDPE and PVC. His favorite, HDPE, is resistant to ultraviolet light and more durable against animal hooves than PVC, which must be covered where exposed to sunlight. HDPE's disadvantage is that it must be welded using specialized equipment. Both types should be put down wrinkly, not smooth, because adding cold water will draw them tight, compromising the anchoring system.
Synthetic liners should be placed in a cutoff trench around the pond's edge, with soil covering the liner and filling the trench. Rogers recommends that these trenches be two feet deep.
Be careful how deeply you dig. Some ponds that hold water efficiently begin to leak when you dig through their clay bottoms, trying to make them deeper.
Be careful of slope. “I never recommend a slope with less than 2 feet of horizontal run for each foot of vertical drop,” Rogers says. “A lined pond with steep sides is a hazard to children and wildlife.”
Be mindful of depth. “In cold areas like the Panhandle, make sure there’s water at least 5 to 6 feet deep for thermal protection for fish, and shallow areas productive (with rooted vegetation) for wildlife,” Rogers say
