  • Eco Doom & Gloom Predictions Usually Wrong

    Mr. Sptizer declares that the Chamber of Commerce ''has been wrong on virtually every major public-policy issue of the past decade''. Funny, but environmental activists have been wrong for the past FOUR decades yet Mr. Spitzer appears to feel they aren't to be questioned (in his view, this is apparently one of the Chamber's biggest sins).

  • Hoax

    Currently, over 35,000 science professionals and engineers, many with PhD's, have signed a petition decrying Global Warming caused by carbon emissions to be a hoax. Many scientists who have been on the global Warming bandwagon have fallen off and signed this petition. Don't listen to scare tactics, listen to good scientific reasoning. The ...

  • Re: What's the responsible way?

    The locals (I am an Albertan) are demanding that the issues be dealt with. The provincial government has set aside over a billion (Canadian) dollars to sequester CO2. The companies are required to find ways to reduce tailings ponds and water usage. The amount of water and energy consumption per barrel of oil has decreased a lot over the last 30 ...

  • Pizza Boxes are Unrecyclable.

    The oils that saturate the cardboard contaminate recycling processes. http://earth911.com/blog/2009/03/02/the-pizza-box-mystery/# Looks like these kids haven't thought through more than their free-market environmental ideas.

  • All 'Tobacco" is not the same...

    As a grower of Cigar Broadleaf in good ol' 'Kantuck', let me clarify a few things for you. a. Not all tobacco emits the 600+ chemicals found in cigarette tobacco and it's wrapper. b. Cigar tobacco is pretty much a completely organic crop when done correctly. c. The anti-smoking league has made the subtle, but irresponsible leap from ...

  • Baby diaper options- Biodegradable Composting Diaper Service

    In response to the cloth diaper quandary, probably the best option out there is a biodegradable diaper composting service called Earth Baby. They work much like a cloth diaper service, but use biodegradable diapers and wipes. Now here is the best part... they collect the dirty diapers and compost them in a industrial facility completing the link ...

  • Johann Hari: Move Over, Thoreau

    It's time to have this discussion, but Hari presents a false dichotomy. Rationalist thinking led to environmental devastation, then led to the conclusion that this was not a good idea, as he points out. What was the difference? I would say an understanding our our place in the cosmos, which is a spiritual point of view. You could also say we ...
