  • 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 ...

  • Bagasse/Bamboo Products

    I am the President of P&C Compostech Inc (www.compostech.com). My company is the largest importer and distributor in Canada of compostable cups made from recycled bamboo and bagasse. Bagasse is sugarcane pulp left over from the sugar making process. Our manufacturer, (currently in China, with plans to relocate the foctories to Canada once the ...

  • one does not equal one

    I think you article was great, but there was one point you left out. It may take more energy to make a ceramic or stainless steel cup than a styrofoam cup, but once the ceramic cup is made you will use it for years. If you drink 2 cups of coffee a day using a styrofoam cup that is 730 styrofoam cups in just one year. I don't think styrofoam is ...

  • Political Bigfoot Cam shots:

    What about Bighead Newt Gingrich's Bigfoot love child caught on cam while family fly fishing? Or the Big Stance Larry Craig Bigfoot toilet rendevous caught on a deputy sheriff's sting cam?

  • Re: A Response from Andrew Revkin

    Beautifully stated! The science issues are: i) whether or not we have anthropogenic CO2 mediated global warming (settled in the affirmative); ii) what the magnitude and varied impacts of this warming will be (not settled). The complementary policy issue is what - if anything - should be done about this. As a layman, I'd be happy to restrict my ...

  • Business Innovation

    I think that one of the greatest steps toward improving our environment is increasing the individuals sense of responsibility toward it. One of the best ways we can do this is by supporting innovative businesses that not only provide us with our desired utility but also benefit the environment. For example, I came across a website ...

  • Regarding the Wall-E article...

    ''Wall-E tells us that if we don't change the way we live, we'll all get really fat and destroy the world.'' You'll find no bigger supporter of the first amendment than me. However, I think the statement above, quoted from the article is a little biased. To me, it sounds like someone who is just looking for a reason to look down on ...

  • Fat enough

    I couldn't even finish this article. I am sure that some people can't help being fat. All your science aside I have known many people that went from an active lifestyle to an inactive one and gained a lot of weight. Period. If you don't care enough about your own body to eat right, exercise, and generally take care of the one and only thing in ...

  • Just shows how egocentric humans are

    I saw Wall - E with my kids the first weekend it came out. Sure, the sub-plot of what humans had done to the planet was a little bang-a-pot-over-the-head obvious, however, in my opinion, the real story was between the robots. If you read any science fiction at all, you will know that these kinds of stories regarding the downfall of humankind, and ...

  • Hybrids, not as good a move as you think

    Before you go out and buy a hybrid you may want to look into turning your current vehicle into a hybrid. In recent years many advances have been made towards using hydrogen in conventional gas burning engines. While some ideas seem to have been made by crack pot hippies or your neighbor experimenting in his garage some ideas will actually work. ...
