Greetings, I've just hopped into the job of putting together the weekly Sustainability Curation Digest for the Minnow Support Project.
Unfortunately due to family commitments 
is not able to continue with the curation.
This first digest will be a bit of a rush job as I only took on the job a few hours ago, but I already spend a fair bit of time each week scouting the steemwaves for new authors and projects to invite on to The Alternative Lifestyle Show that I host each Friday on MSP Waves.
So this new curation role should be a really comfy fit with the radio show.
First off my thanks to 
The term sustainability always has quite a wide remit, and I will continue in that vein to align with the topics covered in The Alternative Lifestyle Show.
I am very much looking forward to evolving synergies between these two projects.
So on to the posts I've selected for my first MSP Sustainability Curation Digest.
Heal Your DNA : Secrets Our Ancestors Knew About Good Health by 
This opening paragraph grabbed my attention straightaway :
Lately I’ve felt the urge to improve my diet and have been doing lots of research into food and epigenetics. Good food habits can actually change a persons “junk” DNA or what I Iike to call DNA that’s been switched off during the human evolutionary process.
Food is very important to me. I eat mainly organic food, and wherever possible what I grow myself. I am firm believer in the "you are what you eat" school of thought, but
I had not heard of the term epigenetics :
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. Wikipedia

DELICIOUS Raw Vegan Egg Salad! by 
Since interviewing 
Taking the first step to become a vegetarian was very easy for me as I was already a low meat eater. Moving on to full vegan has taken more time, with a few more trips and hurdles along the way. Finding tasty and inspiring new vegan recipes is always a big help on my journey.

I had never heard of black salt, but I love finding new foods...
Where Does All The Mango's Go? by 
I just love mangoes, so I really couldn't let this post go by.
As a mango farmer
What happens with all the mangoes once the harvest is over?
The answer depends directly on the market value of different industries that make use of the fruit, and therefore our market distribution might vary and our fruits are sold either to juicing factories, fresh produce market, atchar producers or drying plants.
Atchar (South Asian pickles) is another new word for me - bonus points for that 😊

Why Choose a Mobile Tiny Home? by 
I was talking with a friend who runs the local village shop and post office yesterday.
She's had the shop for over 20 years but has now decided to sell up and set off travelling around Europe with her partner in their RV for a few years before they get too old to do so. [Anyone fancy buying a village shop and post office in west Wales, let me know 😊]
That is an interesting idea. Tempting but probably not for me now - I love my garden too much. And I would have some serious super downsizing to do to fit in an RV.

Maybe that lifestyle could be for you...
Introducing EMPOWER - a cure to the slow demand for renewable energy adoption among the general public by 
The reason I actually joined steemit was to, hopefully, save/make enough money one day soon to install a solar PV system on our property.
I am super keen on the idea and potential of solar power so
EMPOWER is a blockchain database designed to support the generation AND consumption of electricity from renewable sources using cryptocurrency rewards.
This is a project I am definitely going to be watching closely...
Honorable Mentions
While researching my five top picks of the week I came across a couple more very good posts that almost made it, but didn't quite.
These are definitely worth a read, and vote, if you can...

I will be on the lookout now for posts to include in this weekly Sustainability Curation Digest.
I am also always seeking out new guests for the Alternative Lifestyle Show that I host on MSP Waves Radio every Friday.
If you haven't listened to the show before you can hear last week's episode here :
If you are interesting in coming on the show, or if you have suggestions for suitable posts for this digest, feel free to comment below, or contact me on Discord @Pennsif#9921.
I also run a charitable giving project called A Dollar A Day - you can read more about that here :
I am looking for more projects to support with that and I am particularly interested in finding some sustainability / renewables related projects.
The Minnow Support Project has multiple curators that pick five posts from under-valued minnows each week to highlight through MSP3k. This way MSP and PAL can promote new writers and content creators on Steemit, and in effect reward them for doing a superior job.
