Complimentary Blueberry Juice

Illuminating agriculture with an ecological light.


Life Without Sun

The last two nights we’ve had a very light touch of frost. All it took was 11 hours without the sun to freeze. To go from 18C to 0C.

We live on a precarious edge at all times. The only planet we know that exists to harbour life as we know it does so because of the energy of the sun. Without it, life would retreat back to small zones occurring around hydrothermal vents, utilizing other chemical pathways to synthesize energy. The conversion of solar energy into carbohydrates via photosynthesis is a beautifully elegant invention of evolution.


The sun is a powerful gift. We as a species have yet to fully comprehend the implications, and we have little time left to act.
