What’s the difference between a cage-free, range-free, and pasture-raised eggs? Unfortunately, it’s not what you’d think. This video is a part of the Lexicon of Sustainability Project and highlights the need for awareness of what exactly you are eating.
From the LOSP website:
For the past three years we have conversed with the foremost practitioners of sustainability in food and farming. They have shared their insights and experiences… and contributed their words to our rapidly growing Lexicon of Sustainability. To spread their knowledge our photography project has grown to include short films, study guides, traveling shows, a book and lastly a website where people can add their own terms to this ever-evolving lexicon.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. While that may be a slight exaggeration, this video is a working demonstration of technology only seen in sci-fi movies and books. The music player and use in water is the most remarkable to me. Can’t wait until it is a consumer product!

Once, I said to him, “Dick, explain to me, so that I can understand it, why spin one-half particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics.” Sizing up his audience perfectly, Feynman said, “I’ll prepare a freshman lecture on it.” But he came back a few days later to say, “I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t reduce it to the freshman level. That means we don’t really understand it.
