[New Hampshire Public Radio - Environment] Is Borax really a "green" cleaner? | New Hampshire Public Radio: Mining for minerals such as boron (the key ingredient in the “Borax” we use for cleaning, pest control and other household tasks) is an activity that typically leaves behind a big environmental footprint. Boron, oxygen and sodium make up sodium tetraborate, which is sold as “20 Mule Team Borax” (the name comes from the teams of 18 mules and two horses that would haul large wagons of processed borax from mines in the late 1800s to the nearest railroad spur).

[The Liber(al)tarian Network] Intentional Communities in Outer Space ”” The Liber(al)tarian Network: Physical self-sufficiency hinges on the question of environmental closure.  Does your settlement leak any important resource, and can that resource be replenished from the environment around you?  No settlement will ever achieve 100% closure.  Something will leak.  So what environment has the greatest variety of physical elements that can be easily accessed to make up the losses?  After Earth, the second best place is Mars.  I’m not saying that we shouldn’t go other places, or that settlement would be impossible other places.  I just think that politically independent, physically self sufficient settlements will be easiest on Mars.
