How do EGG communicate?

final description:
Some say emailing is more eco friendly way to communicate than posting. Others say using computers creates major part of CO2 emissions and e-waste. In EGG’s case, they are against
1. Using internet/mobile phone = EGGs are superior to human kind, how can they tied up to big cooperate who is the main culprit behind evil consumerism!
2. Existing posting service = great part of CO2 emission producer, because they use car/airplane/ship.
What could be EGG way of communication?

EGGs receive/send messages internationally by using animal migration system with RFID receiver + active tag.

Do you email everyday? Is your computer turned on all the day? Generating the electricity needed to power those computers requires hundreds of power plants that produce billions of tons of CO2 emissions. Many of those machines sit idle for 12 to 16 hours per day, burning electricity, but not doing any work, because businesses habitually leave their computers running overnight. Scientists found out that shifting 100 million computers into low-power sleep mode for 12 hours per day could easily cut worldwide C02 production by 45 million tons. EEG clans of course concerned about this problem, and they have own communication system called Animal Posting Service (APS). By enhancing animal migration system with tagging technology, they can communicate worldwide with minimum CO2 production.

if I was extreme Eco guerrilla, then how can I communicate with my mum?

1. WMS (Weather Messaging Service)
のろし。Native American used to use smoke to communicate each other. they put blanket to do something likeモールス信号．
→bubbles?
smoke ring?mist?cloud?mist?chimney?sun light? 日時計？
GSMのSMSでは、メッセージはセンターを経由して、送信先の携帯端末に送られる。送信先が圏外にいるなどして送信できなかった場合は、送信できるようになった時に再度送信される。

2. APS (Animal Posting Service)
using their natural instinct, we can now send messages(letters) worldwide. We must not use 伝書鳩, because training animals are against our rule: rule1, never,ever train animals to interfere their immune system.
device: animal migration.
Tracking is done by using transmitters. The type of transmitter used depends on the location and the kind of fish being followed. A common method for tracking fish is to attach an acoustic device to the fish externally or insert it in a body cavity. The device emits ultrasound pulses, which are then converted into sounds that humans can hear.The signals are monitored from either a boat or a riverbank, and they usually have a maximum range of half a mile. Using such tracking devices allows scientists to learn more about fish migration. Much of the tracking requires that the fish be followed closely by boat, but computers and other automated equipment are being developed to make it easier to gather information.

2-1.fish migration. people use radio-tag technique(1, 2, 3) to track fishe’s rout and habit of migration.

• salmon:born in fresh water, stay 4yrs in sea, comeback to their birth place to give birth and die. Salmon navigate by smell. Each fish remembers the scent of the stream where it was hatched.
• tuna: The tag broadcast Terry’s trans-Pacific wanderings – three crossings in 20 months, a distance of 25,000 miles. Why the fish did this is a mystery.
• eel:long-distance migration (5000-6000 km) of the European eel Anguilla L. from the coasts of Europe to its spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea.

CATCHING TAGGING FISH.
July 16, 2003 TAGGING FISH
Catch a fish and win a reward, and here is the interesting twist, the size of the fish doesn’t even matter.
July 9, 2003 A “SHOCKING” FISH TALE
You will be “shocked” to learn how the Division of Natural Resources is catching fish. I’ve got the electrifying news as we hit the lake.

2-2. bird migration. Birds appear to migrate by following the earths magnetic field. their migration route is called Flyways.
TRACKING: radio-tracking songbirds from space.Songbirds will Carry long-lasting radio-transmitters on their backs (1-3 grams). other method include Radio Telemetry, Ringing, Ground-based observers, Feathers identification ,Radars ,Light Aircraft,Motorized glider．And this homepage shows the result of bird-tracking, the recent flyways.
CATCHING: This expedition will conduct a large-scale survey of bird migration patterns by catching passing birds in nets (which are harmless to the animals), and measuring, identifying, ringing and releasing them. there even a occupation called bird-ringer. Trapping is mainly through the use of mist nets, but a variety of other techniques are employed, including whoosh netting, Heligoland traps, fixed traps, dazzling and tape-luring.

2-3. Lemmings migration. The reason for the cyclic change in population is still not completely understood. Anyway, the main cause for their mass migration is high density with decreasing/used up food supply. The cycle length lies between 3 and 5 years with an average of 3.8 years.Lemmings migrate periodically from their home area when their population begins to exceed the food supply. They swim across streams and rivers in order to find land with food; sometimes, however, lemmings try to swim bodies of water that are too deep and may drown in great numbers.

3.APS2
This is kind of carrier pigeon, but with more variety of animal.
3-1. Homing pigeon:

The homing pigeon is a variety of domesticated Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) that has been selectively bred to be able to find its way home over extremely long distances. Because any pigeon generally returns to its own nest and its own mate, it was relatively easy to selectively breed the birds that repeatedly found their way home over long distances. Flights as long as 1689 miles have been recorded by exceptional birds in competition pigeon racing. Their average flying speed over moderate distances is around 30 miles per hour, but they can achieve bursts of speed up to 60 mph. Homing pigeons have been used to carry messages written on thin light paper (such as cigarette paper) in a small tube attached to one leg; this is called pigeon post.
Some researchers believe that pigeons navigate by Earth’s magnetic field.
Research by Floriano Papi (Italy, early 1970s) and newer research published in the February, 2004 issue of Animal Behaviour suggest that pigeons also orient themselves by odors and/or combinations of odors. (See the August 20, 2005 issue of Science News.
The humorous IP over Avian Carriers (RFC 1149) is an Internet protocol for the transmission of messages via homing pigeon. This protocol has been used, once, to transmit a message in Bergen, Norway.
Notable pigeon enthusiasts in the United Kingdom include Gerry Francis (football manager) and Duncan Ferguson (Everton and Scotland footballer).
The Taliban banned homing pigeons (or probably more realistically the keeping of homing pigeons and/or the use for sport) in Afghanistan.

鳩の帰巣本能を使った道具.　伝書鳩（レース鳩）は、飛翔能力と帰巣本能が優れ、1000km以上離れた地点から巣に戻ることができるといわれる。使い方としては、遠隔地へ伝書鳩を輸送し、脚に通信文を入れた小さな筒（現在ではアルミ製が多い）をつけて放鳩する。飼育されている鳩舎に戻ってきたところで通信文を受け取った。通信文だけでなく、伝書鳩が持てるような小さな荷物を運ぶこともあり、その場合は背中に持たせることも多かった。中でも僻地医療で血清や薬品等の運び手として伝書鳩が担った役割は重要である。伝書鳩が迷って戻れなくなったり、猛禽類などに襲われて命を落とすこともあったため、通信目的を確実に果たせるよう、同じ通信文を複数の伝書鳩に持たせて放されることも多かった.
Tipplers are very intelligent (see Pigeon intelligence) birds and can be trained to fly long hours and drop only when the trainer asks them to.
The following training program was published by W. Matthews in N.T.U. Yearbook 1987: “Thirty-Six Stages for the Flying Tippler Novice”

動物兵器（どうぶつへいき）とは、軍事目的に動物を使用する兵器のこと。または兵器と同様の役割を動物に担わせること（また、一部では､生体兵器（せいたいへいき）ともいわれる）。
軍用イルカ (Military dolphin) たちの主な任務は、ダイバーの救助および機雷の探知などである。1990年代の湾岸戦争、2003年のイラク戦争においては実戦で使用された。

地雷犬は、背中に爆薬と起爆スイッチとなる木製レバーを背負い、木製レバーを垂直に立て戦車を目指して走る。爆薬を背負った空腹の犬を敵戦車の前に放ち、戦車の下に潜り込んだところで起爆レバーが倒れ、敵戦車を破壊する計画であった。

犬の訓練には条件反射行動を利用した。戦車や装甲車輛の下に犬の餌を置き、空腹の犬が餌を目当てに戦車の下に潜り込むように教え込むというものである。

聞き耳ネコちゃん（ききみみネコちゃん、Acoustic Kitty）とは、1960年代にCIAによって企てられた、ネコをスパイ活動に利用しようという計画である。この計画で使用されたネコには、小型マイクと電池、さらに尻尾部分にはアンテナが埋め込まれた。また、ネコが注意散漫になること（任務を忘れネズミを追いかけてしまう等）を防ぐため、ネコにはあらかじめ、空腹感を感じなくするための手術が施された。訓練・手術等に費やした諸費用は、約1,000万ドルだったといわれている。

Acoustic Kitty:Wiring up cats as mobile spies is just one of the CIA stunts revealed in newly declassified documents.
