for everyone

Renewable energy has become a major factor in farming. Cows produce a lot of methane.

I have about stopped drinking cows milk (as much as I like it) unless it is organic, since it costs over $5.00 a gallon. I now like soymilk much better because it is thick and sweet and healthy.
Yesterday, I purchased some soy creamer and was surprised that it was the cheapest available (small carton was $1.39)
As I was enjoying a cup of coffee, I read the carton and discovered that the company named SILK that produces it uses 100% wind power to run their WHOLE company and does not even purchase any outside utilities!!
Here is the site for you to look at

I wonder why I called the album "Farming energy and pollution?" Part of what farm produces should be energy!

I agree with you, dairy products are only good for calves and lambs. Babes should get milk from their mothers. We soon anyway lose the ability to digest milk products.

A good thing about cows, though, is the manure they produce that can be used to generate methane gas. We can get it from beef cattle, sheep, poultry, etc. as well. Then of course, there is the methane that comes from ruminants on high concentrate feeding - not good old grass.

I have been using full cream powdered milk for years for breakfast and in my tea. It was the only thing I bought from the Arabs, because it was from UNWRA, marked "Not for Sale." There was just one Arab in the Old City in Jlm I could get it from - at about $4 - 6. The last batch tasted like synthetic coffee creamer, so I'll have to resort to another more expensive product. I see my supermarket does sell soya milk, but for babes - not for old men...

I checked the Silk Soymilk sight. Neat. What kind of sugar is in their milk? It's actually to sweeten my tea a bit that I put milk in, since I haven't been using sugar for years - just an adrenalin confounding habit.

1 Tablespoon of the Silk creamer has less than 1 gram sugar and it is from Organic Evaporated Cane Juice!

I just discovered something amazing while looking at a verse about a shepherd....

"Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth.....: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger."
"For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. {please read all of Zephaniah 2, it is fascinating!)..

It goes on to say in v.6 .."And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks."
What is very alarming is in my KJ bible it directly references verse 6 to ISAIAH 17!!! specifically v.2

The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer [?] are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim[!!] and the kingdom from Damascus, and the REMNANT of SYRIA: They shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.

I think Ashkelon will be specificly targeted to destroy the power station that provides most of Israel's energy. Israel's biggest desalination plant is also there. A single bomb could destroy Gaza city if it hits an underground weapons store.

It's awesome that you could make the connection with the destruction of Damascus!
It could be that the false gods of the Philistines still roam in this entire area that would require it's cleaning out.

It connected Zephaniah 2:6 with Isaiah 17! The bible I was using was a King James... at the end of many passages ,it lists all corresponding passages as a reference.. it seems to be pretty accurate in showing confirmed prophecies given and fulfilled throughout the bible..

I was going to ask you about Ashkelon, see I didn't even know that was modern day!?
