Only two years are coinciding with these criteria: AD 30 and AD 33.<br /><br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Celestial positions of moon and sun over Jerusalem on said date are confirmed with modern computer accuracy for only 33 AD.<br /><br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Celestial&nbsp;calculations incorporate the Delta T equation, showing adjustments for all the changes in Earth&rsquo;s orbit around the sun over 2,000 years. End results give us a Blood Red Moon over Jerusalem right after sundown on the evening of the crucifixion. Again, only in 33 AD.<br /><br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, from peer reviewed scientific research we have samples from&nbsp;soil layers at Ein Gedi Spa, near the Dead Sea. These layers have been recently exposed by that area's current changing climate causing the water to recede. The layers of soil demonstrate that several times in the past the waters have receded like today. The layers also give us a time frame for when certain events occurred, such as earthquakes and dust storms. Dating the layers shows&nbsp;disturbed soil from an earthquake dated to AD 33. On top of the disturbed earthquake soil is a layer of dust from a dust storm with pollen that comes from plants that pollinate in the Springtime. (April) Therefore, confirming an earthquake and a dust storm event that blocked out the sun for three hours in the afternoon.<br />&#8203;<br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only year to meet all the above is AD 33. The date for all this is: Friday, the third of April, 33 AD.<br /><br /><strong>&#8203;Good Friday this year is on the date that scientific evidence gives the most credence as the actual date Jesus was crucified: AD 33, Friday, April 3rd.</strong><br /><br />For my video presentation done at the 2025 International Shroud Conference presenting my work and thesis at St. Louis, please use this LINK:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v8ApPzakyE" target="_blank">&#8203;Coinciding Historical, Environmental, Geological, and Celestial Data with Gospel Writings</a></font><br /><br /><font color="#2a2a2a" size="3">Thank you.</font></div>  <div class="paragraph"><font size="3" color="#2a2a2a">Bill&nbsp;Lauto, at GoingTrueGreen.com<br />Environmental Scientist<br />International Sustainability and Energy Consultant<br />Contribute your comments!&#8203;</font></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Upper-Room-Way-33-AD-ebook/dp/B0D4FCKVC3/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=QVElk&content-id=amzn1.sym.cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_p=cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_r=143-8750222-2417552&pd_rd_wg=Q6MxE&pd_rd_r=f22db167-2d50-4123-b254-c3489a2d9be7&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk' target='_blank'> <img src="https://www.goingtruegreen.com/uploads/1/1/3/8/11384312/upper-room-historical-novel-orig_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home Made Maple Syrup]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/home-made-maple-syrup]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/home-made-maple-syrup#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 21 Mar 2026 14:30:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[less lawn more garden]]></category><category><![CDATA[speaking greenish]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/home-made-maple-syrup</guid><description><![CDATA[Springtime is here and Maple Trees are sending their Sap upward to create new leaves on their branches.

"Serious ethical concerns" has been cited as one of the reasons.<br /><br />Apparently investigators found evidence that Monsanto employees participated in drafting the study's paper and perhaps payments were made to the authors. Thus,&nbsp;destroying all the paper's research and bringing the paper's integrity into question. There was no true transparency about who and how this paper came about.<br /><br />Last year in 2025 we have&nbsp;different independent studies that were published linking glyphosate exposure to increased cancer risks. All this new information brings me back to my GTG blog called: <a href="https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/homemade-weed-killer" target="_blank">Homemade Weed Killer</a> on July 9, 2014. By just using some common sense, we have an effective alternative to store bought weed killers.&nbsp;<br /><br />A herbicide's job is to kill and while it may not kill us immediately, it sure may cause damage that can lead to what we have seen over the decades. The evidence for herbicide's carcinogenic potential is very strong.

One was to the Copenhagen 15 session hosted by Forbes and Shell Oil. The other day I was meeting with some colleagues and I recalled the Energy Conference event with Shell Oil at Post University in New York so many years ago.<br /><br />I arrived early and this afforded me the time to meet some of the speakers on the panel before the event started. While the rest of the arriving audience, all of us in business attire, went directly over to the morning setup of bagels and coffee, I waited to speak with the Vice President from Exxon. However, he was more interested in getting "back-stage" and away from everyone than doing any networking. His arrogant attitude prevailed and he didn't "need" to network with anyone at this event. Thus, our exchange or conversation, if you can call it that, was insignificant.<br /><br />The panel spoke up to 10:45am with the VP from Exxon speaking last. While there was an advocate for electric cars on the panel, this VP from Exxon shot him down immediately when he spoke last just before our scheduled time for a break. The VP set himself up for a "drop-the-mike" ending by ending with the following line:<br /><br />"You cannot pour technology into a gas tank to run a car!" Everyone laughed. I didn't.<br /><br />The MC then made the mistake to say, "Before we take our morning break, are there any questions for our distinguished members of the energy panel?"<br /><br />My right arm and hand went straight up and I started to wave. I could not be ignored and I was acknowledged.<br /><br />&#8203;"Thank you," I replied. "My question is for Exxon's vice president... Can we not eliminate the pouring by applying the technology of clean hydrogen fuel cells operating on demand as we drive after&nbsp;collected FREE rain water that was put into a vehicle's water tank? And as needed, the membrane component of the fuel cell on the car, will separate the two hydrogen molecules from the one oxygen molecule. Therefore eliminating any need to get hydrogen molecules from&nbsp;natural gas or gasoline. This hydrogen separation procedure&nbsp;would be done with FREE electric power created from the Sun with solar cells embedded in the roof and hood of the car. The FREE hydrogen will run the fuel cell that makes FREE electricity to power the our cars as needed, so we do not have any storage to cause any type of Hindenburg explosions. And the byproduct is water condensation."<br /><br />Everyone had&nbsp;turned in their seats to look back at me, many with their mouths hanging open. This did not go&nbsp;unnoticed by Exxon's VP. He first stared, then chuckled, followed by a quick, "That technology doesn't exist and&nbsp;probably will never exist."<br /><br />"Oh, then how are we able to use that technology on our Space Shuttles since 1981, where three hydrogen fuel cells are onboard. One to provide all the&nbsp;electric power the space shuttle needs and two for back-ups?"<br /><br />The mike dropped, but I was the one to do the dropping. The room went silent. Then the MC grabbed his microphone and&nbsp;quickly said, "We are short on time, so let us all take that coffee break now... Thank you." Over two dozen hands went up, everyone else started talking. "Coffee and danish cakes are available in the other room to your left," continued the MC as the panel of speakers exited the room. Leading the way was the Exxon VP. "Thank you, please be back here at 11:00. Thank you."<br /><br />After collecting my note pad, I was one of the last to enter the break room. Immediately I was surrounded by ten or more people. The conversation about hydrogen fuel cells abound. After three minutes or so, the group of people around me grew in size. Then from a back door a&nbsp;short man wearing an expensive suit and shoes entered the room. He wore&nbsp;a navy blue suit and a bowtie, he had a smile bigger than he stood tall. He was a phony, he was a mole.&nbsp;I say mole, because as I spoke I saw him walk around the room and listened to every conversation going on in the other 5 or so circles or clicks that formed. When he arrived at my circle last, he heard fuel cells and moved into the circle! He didn't walk away like I notice him do with all the other groups of people talking.<br /><br />As soon as he had the opportunity to jump my spoken words, he did with... "All this you are talking about is not real, don't listen to this." He directed to everyone standing around me. "None of this will ever work and you are all wasting your time listening to him."<br /><br />Immediately I replied, "When you say this technology will never work, or will never happen, isn't that similar to what the Wright brothers heard? Didn't people say we would never walk on the moon? And how is the fact that today this technology is working on our Space Shuttles?"<br /><br />The mole lost his big smile and&nbsp;said, "You don't know what your are talking about!" &nbsp;He then turned away hoping others would follow. None did, and when he turned back, he saw nobody else walked away, but started asking me more questions.<br /><br />I addressed what just happened. "That man was a planted mole to influence and listen to our conversations." People were shocked to hear my accusation, but&nbsp;</font><font color="#2a2a2a"><font size="3">I found&nbsp;myself followed by that planted mole at lunch time and later in the afternoon.<br /><br />Bill&nbsp;Lauto, at GoingTrueGreen.com<br />Environmental Scientist<br />International Sustainability and Energy Consultant<br />Contribute your comments!&#8203;</font></font></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Upper-Room-Way-33-AD-ebook/dp/B0D4FCKVC3/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=QVElk&content-id=amzn1.sym.cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_p=cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_r=143-8750222-2417552&pd_rd_wg=Q6MxE&pd_rd_r=f22db167-2d50-4123-b254-c3489a2d9be7&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk' target='_blank'> <img src="https://www.goingtruegreen.com/uploads/1/1/3/8/11384312/upper-room-historical-novel-orig_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Food Labels Decoded, Organic]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/food-labels-decoded-organic]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/food-labels-decoded-organic#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 30 Jan 2026 16:16:39 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Eco Friendly Products]]></category><category><![CDATA[explanations]]></category><category><![CDATA[food labels decoded]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/food-labels-decoded-organic</guid><description><![CDATA[&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Omega-3 Enriched   Knowing that an Organic or 100% Organic label is certified by having government approved agents inspect the farm producing the food makes this label the best one to have.

Since 2002 USDA organic standards must be met by the farm or company producing the food. Additionally, they&nbsp;must also be certified so they are maintaining the specific regulations to be organic.</span><br /><br /><span>Organic foods must be produced without any pesticides, man-made fertilizers, ionizing radiation, bioengineering and any&nbsp;genetically modified material. Meats that are labeled organic, along with eggs, poultry and dairy products must come from animals that have not received any antibiotics or growth hormones.</span><br /><br /><span>Unfortunately there are three different categories that are confusing:<br /><strong>- "Made&nbsp;</strong></span><span><strong>with Organic Ingredients"</strong> means that the product must have at least 70 percent of organic ingredients.</span><br /><span><strong>- "Organic"</strong> means that the product must have at least 95 percent of organic ingredients.</span><br /><span><strong>- "100% Organic"&nbsp;</strong>is the best way to go if you are not growing the food naturally yourself. These products must only have 100% organically produced ingredients.</span><br /><br />With EGGS,&nbsp;<span>Organic means the USDA Organic seal must be shown. This verifies that the eggs meet the organic standards including coming from uncaged hens that are free to roam and have access to the outdoors.

This Shouldn&rsquo;t Happen.&rdquo;<br />&#8203;<br />From what I can tell this was re-published on AOL.com from Popular Mechanics. The article went on to blame the pumping of drinking water out of the ground for the disturbance of balance and the tilting of the Earth&rsquo;s axis.<br />&nbsp;<br />With a more complete picture of details and facts, which the article avoided, we know from geological and environmental data that this is NOT the reason for the tilt. All water pumped out is REPLENISHED with rainfall and melting snow. This cycle has been going on for thousands of years. Now there are some issues being caused by pumping out drinkable water and they can be found on overdeveloped small islands. With all the blacktop and pavement, natural replenishment of the water removed is severely decelerated. This plus the weight of Highrise buildings, such as hotels, is causing the land to sink. In these cases, any claims stating the ocean is rising, are incorrect. <a href="https://www.goingtruegreen.com/gtg-blog/the-complete-truth-about-sinking-cities" target="_blank">The land is sinking</a>.&nbsp;<br /><br />So, what is the most probable cause for the Earth&rsquo;s axis tilting 31.5 inches?&nbsp;<br /><br />Our planet&rsquo;s inner iron and nickel core if rotating or flipping. Geological evidence has shown that this has happened about 25 times since humankind walked on this planet and we survived. As this occurs again, and not one person knows when or how long this event will last, many scientists have surmised that this is the cause for Earth&rsquo;s tilt or movement of Earth&rsquo;s axis.
