Posted in: Japan's 'Little Trains that Could' battle for survival See in context
Trains are more climate friendly. Maybe local trains could also haul freight as well as passengers to help revenue? Bike paths or walk paths are ok for people able to walk long distances, but what about people with disabilities? Maybe a slight increase in fares could increase revenue too? Dependable service on time helps to increase ridership too. Tourists money goes a long ways to keep trains going too. How able tickets to allow people to operate train under guidance of Engineer for short sections ? or Maybe help a rail worker for the day tickets ? Many people enjoy trains, Fast and slower trains. Country side offer more views then cities too.

Could some rice fields , be planted with wheat or barley? maybe help with conserving water? Maybe not all land could grow wheat, but worth a try to help build soil and break disease cycle.

Posted in: U.S. sets new lower salt target for food industry See in context
There is salt and sugar in most all processed food here in US. More salt more sugar means less actual food product companies have to put in package. More money in their pockets. All people need to wake up, Big food companies are not looking to best interest of their customers health, just their profit line. Wake up everyone, demand better foods, don't except second or third best. It is your life, "Take responsibility for it". Don't wait for Government to do it.

We have a problem here in US with Canada Geese, damaging crops along river. Too many, too little native food for them. Propane cannon for noise to scare won't work. Need to trap and move or harvest more thru season. That crane should have been trapped and moved .
