The World and I chat for time to time and occasionally we record that conversation for posterity.

I quite like the World. I mean, not just to live on, but to talk to. I find it refreshingly honest. It says what it means. It doesn’t beat around the bush. I may not always like what it has to tell me but I have to respect it.

And I would be a fool not to listen.

Hello (applied) statisticians and biostatisticians,

I am the Agricultural Research Biostatistician based at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Lethbridge Research and Development Centre.

What should I do to make my applied statistics job (i.e., my Performance Agreement) more environmentally-friendly and based on nature-centered values?

This article also discusses making home-made weed killer from vinegar and soap, but be careful when applying it... Don't apply to flowering plants, and apply at night after the bees have gone home.

#EcoFriendly and #EnvironmentallyFriendly #WeedKiller: Does It Exist?

By Stephanie Osmanski
Updated July 20 2020,

Excerpt:
"Another eco-friendly alternative to weed killer is enlisting the help of animal friends. Good for the environment and entirely non-toxic, goats can scarf down any unwanted weeds from #kudzu, #OrientalBittersweet, and #ailanthus to #MultifloraRosa, #JapaneseHoneysuckle, and mile-a-minute.

"In fact, some companies — such as #Ecogoats and #GoatsEatWeeds — even rent out goats to homeowners that want eco-friendly help controlling their unwanted noxious weeds. Because a goat’s least favorite food is grass, a goat will eat everything else first before munching on your lawn."

Cleaning and Using Sheep #Wool for Insulation

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Laurence Manchee

Excerpt: "Benefits of sheep wool insulation

Sheep’s wool is an outstanding insulator with as good or better insulation properties as #RoofMate or #RockWool. As opposed to shop-bought insulation the homemade wool is not processed into compact blocks. The loose wool can be pushed into small gaps and does not need to be cut to size, making it is easier to work with.

Sheep’s wool is more #EnvironmentallyFriendly, is not itchy to work with and is fireproof. It regulates humidity, does not burn, purifies the air and is a good sound proofer.

All in all, it is better than any #insulation we have used in the past and is more cost-effective."
