Oklahoma Sustainability Network Resource Guide

Searching for historic but extremely pertinent information on organic farming.
Making this information available to growers and researchers on-line in full text.

A recent addition to the Organic Roots Project is the Organic Agriculture Information Access database -- http://www.hti.umich.edu/n/nal/. This is an electronic collection of historic United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) publications related to organic agriculture. There are now 186 full text and searchable documents in the database which were published before 1942 (before synthetic chemicals became widely used). Each publication contains state-of-the-art information and data on organic farming that is as relevant for today's agriculture as it was when first published.

Dye's Mattress Company offers custom built, new, and reconditioned box springs and mattresses. Harold Dye priced a full size set of reconditioned box springs and mattress at $99, and said he would buy the old mattress from me for $5 if it was reconditionable (I later found out that it was a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, which alas isn't recyclable, he said "they are designed so they CAN'T be rebuilt," which is a good reason it seems to me to NOT buy a new Simmons mattress).

He says very little of what comes in his shop ends up in a landfill. They do all the work there in the back of their shop, and you can choose the firmness/softness you want for the mattress. Reconditioning involves removing the old mattress cover, doing any necessary repairs, adding padding if necessary, sanitizing the old padding, and adding a new mattress cover.

So if you are shopping for a mattress, consider supporting an important recycling business and purchase a reconditioned mattress, contact Harold and Jennifer Dye, Plaza Shopping District (NW 16th between Indiana and Blackwelder). If you have a mattress to get rid of, before you put it out for big trash day, talk with Harold and see if it can be reconditioned.

Future of Food Film
Guidebook, Multi-media, Materials
      www.thefutureoffood.com
There's a revolution going on in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America -- a revolution that's being fought behind closed doors of corporate boardrooms and government agencies over the use of genetically modified organisms in our food. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled GMO products that have quietly filled grocery store shelves over the past decade. From the test tube, to the farm field, to the supermarket, the film follows the personal stories of the farmers in the U.S., Canada who have been sued by large multi-national corporations for continuing the time-honored tradition of saving seeds; of the scientists in the U.S. and Europe who have been censored for raising serious public and environmental health concerns; and finally, of the consumers, who are beginning to question why this has escaped the attention of both the media and the Federal agencies in charge of keeping our food safe. THE FUTURE OF FOOD unravels the complex web of market and political forces that are changing the nature of what we eat. Food has gone from being a basic need to part of a larger billion dollar battle to control the world's food production.

It is important , as Oklahomans, that we recognize the vital importance of preserving the native languages and traditions of our state if we hope to accomplish true sustainability. After years of research and work with Oklahoma University Department of Native American Studies and various tribal, municipal and inter-tribal organizations, we have concluded that without preserving the languages and until we return the "Indian lands" to Native American stewardship, we will not reach our sustainability potential here in Oklahoma. That is why our mission is to promote and teach sustainability through atavism, to assist in cultural preservation efforts and to create a sense of sustainability in Oklahoma youth through cultural and environmental educational as well as hands on participation in habitat restoration.

We offer a free legal hot-line to Oklahoma family farmers. We assist and partner with sustainability education organizations, both by locating and applying for grants and by incorporating their programs into our youth camps. Our approach to every problem is holistic and therefore, we are often performing tasks and promoting causes that may seem unrelated to those who are not used to considering the whole picture.

We are very active in promoting "Boys and Girls" Clubs throughout the state and in particular in South OKC. Boys and Girls Clubs of America has established many clubs throughout Indian Country that have likely saved some of our rural communities from impending gang pressures (which actually move into the rural communities from inner-city gangs) and racial tensions by preparing the youth and providing a safe place to be during the hours from three to eight pm. on weekdays. This is the time of day when most young children are first exposed to drugs and gangs. Oklahoma County Boys and Girls Clubs will also participate in bringing Oklahoma's most "at-risk" youth to our camps at the Honey-Washita Buffalo Reserve, where they will participate in an atavistic approach to habitat restoration and learn the importance of protecting "at-risk" species.

Currently, we are opening a Boys and Girls Club in South OKC, planning the construction of a "straw bale" food pantry in Chickasha, feeding buffalo to tribal elders and childrens groups, and organizing several workdays on our Honey-Washita Buffalo Reserve. We need volunteers for all efforts. In fact, we need partners. Please feel free to contact us if you feel you can use our services or would be willing to volunteer in our many efforts.

Chartered by Congress in 1990, The National Environmental Education & Training Foundation (NEETF) is a private non-profit organization dedicated to advancing environmental education in its many forms. There are few things are as important to our personal well-being as the water we drink. Water is one of our most direct connections to the natural world. Now, American consumers can get more information than ever before about the quality of our drinking water. Consumer Confidence Reports, sometimes called Water Quality Reports, must be prepared each year by water systems to explain what substances have been found in drinking water and whether the water is safe to drink. This website provides consumers and professionals with supplementary information on Consumer Confidence Reports. The primary purpose is to inform and educate civic leaders, health professionals, environmental and consumer groups, journalists, and others to better understand the reports, and to be able to answer questions about a Consumer Confidence Report.

Many local nurseries are slowly beginning to carry native plants in their stock. If yours does not, let them know that you wish them to carry more native plants. Following are current native plant and seed producers: inclusion on these lists carries no official endorsement. When ordering wildflower seed, ask about the seed source. Seed grown out of state or out of the region is less likely to be adapted to Oklahoma's varied climate. Also, when comparing prices, the purity and germination rate of the seed should be considered.

'Smart Growth' or the 'Main Street Programs' are other names which encompass the same concepts for the revitalizing of our dying downtowns; all of which have similar goals and concerns about the type of development that destroys the center of our communities and gobbles up our farmland and scenic treasures.
The New Urbanism website outlines the principles of New Urbanism as:
1. WALKABILITY
2. CONNECTIVITY
3. MIXED-USE & DIVERSITY
4. MIXED HOUSING
5. QUALITY ARCHITECTURE & URBAN DESIGN
6. TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD STRUCTURE

Sign up now for wind powered electricity from OGE. You buy the wind generated electricity in blocks of 100 kilowatt hours. The wind power surcharge is $2/100 kwH, BUT then you are exempt from the fuel adjustment fee, which raises the price per kilowatt hour as the price of natural gas goes up.
If you buy say 8 blocks, 800 kilowatt hours, but you only use 700 kilowatt hours, you still have to pay the 8 blocks surcharge of $2/each, but you aren't charged the underlying kilowatt hour price for the power you didn't use.
You sign up now, but the wind power billings don't actually start until the November billing. Once November hits, you can change your allocation (up or down) with 30 days notice. So if you use less power in the winter than in the summer, you can sign up for your average amount in the winter, and then say May 1st call to increase your wind power allocation for the summer months, and then call say Sept 1 to decrease it for the summer.

Plant A Row for the Hungry
Organization
      Lawton/Ft. Sill area
GARDENERS WANTED: Many of America's 70 million gardeners grow more fruits and vegetables than they can consume. If all gardeners planted just one more row of vegetables and donated the surplus to the needy, they could eradicate hunger in this country.

Plant A Row for the Hungry (PAR) was started in 1995 when a garden writer invited readers to plant one extra row of vegetables in their gardens for those in need. There has been a bumper crop of responses: In 2005 alone, 1.4 million pounds of home-grown produce was donated to food banks and shelters, resulting in meals for more than 5.5 million people.

This is the first year PAR will be organized in the Lawton/Ft. Sill area. We have been working diligently to spread the word and get as many gardeners as possible to plant an extra row of vegetables. In becoming a volunteer you will truly help feed the hungry in your own community. All you need to do is plant an extra row, and when it is time to harvest the vegetables, just take them to the Lawton Food Bank which is located at 1405 SW 20th in Lawton. The Lawton Food Bank's hours of operation are 9:00am - 4:00pm Mon - Fri and their phone number is 353-7994. There will also be an after hours drop off point which will be located at 1502 SW Deyo Mission Rd (appointments for after hours drop off are necessary, call 704-9343 to arrange a time.) You will get a tax deductible receipt for your donation. Your participation is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
