Teaching Composting To Kids -
ngoldman (5,778)    
ngoldman   
I have to admit that up to a few years ago my wife Lily and I did not know very much about composting other than recycling food scraps from the kitchen table seemed gross! However, upon further research and after a conversation with my ecologically minded son Dan, we were persuaded to purchase a... ( added 2 days 10 hours ago.) |
The Meaning of 11.11 in 2009 -
Lynn Scheurell (542)  
Lynn Scheurell
Those of you following me for some time know that I like to get information from various esoteric tools, and share it in case you find it provocative and insightful. The object of my most recent attention is today's date - November 11, 2009, or 11:11:11 (by adding 2 + 9 of 2009).

Top 7 Benefits of Recycling -
Michael Arms (223) 
Recycling is a process - a series of activities, if you
will, that includes: the collection and sorting of waste materials, the
processing of these materials to produce brand new products, and the purchase
and use of these new products by consumers.

Celebrate America Recycles Day On Nov. 15 -
Stephany Springer (41,414)   
Stephany Springer
America Recycles Day is Nov. 15. I have to admit that this day means more to me this year then it ever has in the past. At my own home this year, we have gotten a new trash service. With that new service came a recycle bin that we can put out each week. I was shocked by the accompanied list at... ( added 24 days 15 hours ago.) |
Greener Than Thou -
 - Missing Link (679) 
Missing Link
In walking around the neighborhood, I don't see much evidence that anyone is particularly concerned about global warming, drought conditions, or living green. I see the same lawns being sprinkled by the same sprinklers in the middle of the day. I see the same wires running all over the place... ( added 116 days 3 hours ago.) |
McCain's Smokey Speech Clogs the Sacramento Valley -
Missing Link (679)
Missing Link
I saw something the other day that made me think the end is near. The exclusive Porsche dealer on Interstate 80 had signs on all its shiny, expensive sports cars that indicated the thriftiness of the cars' miles per gallon. Today reading the newspaper my feeling was only reinforced. John McCain... ( added 1 year 149 days ago.) |
Born With a Green Conscience -
- David Tanguay (9,600)  
David Tanguay
When it comes to the environment one thing, I can say and this is true. Ever since I was a child, I had a very conscientious attitude when it came to protecting the environment. As a child even when I walked on the sidewalk, if I would open a candy bar, I would crumple and put the wrapper in my... ( added 1 year 177 days ago.) |
How to Increase Your Carbon Footprint on June 12, Carbon Belch Day -
Danny Davids (19,463)   
Danny Davids
Tired of hearing the constant drone about the disaster that is global warming? Concerned about the proposed "carbon tax" that may be imposed on you for your contribution to the problem? Want to do something about it? Then let out a great big "Carbon Belch"! Yeah, I know. I thought it was a joke... ( added 1 year 177 days ago.) |
Global Warming – Does Mankind Have a Responsibility? -
- Bill Dulude (34)
A primary issue that has the world's attention is what Al Gore calls an Inconvenient Truth global warming. He has published an impressive book that catalogs photographs of what has been occurring as a consequence of global warming, warming he, and many others, attributes to mankind's production...

Bigfoot on Dry Dust – Climate Change and Ecological Damage -
Hannah Quinn (18,293)  
Hannah Quinn
The recently released annual report from the Climate Living Index states that Australia has the sixth biggest footprint in terms of fossil fuel use and ecological damage. My only surprise at this is that we are sixth and not higher! At the top is the USA, followed by the United Arab Emirates... ( added 1 year 188 days ago.) |
Blame Global Warming on Nature--Earth Moving Closer to Sun -
Danny Davids (19,463)
Danny Davids
We've heard so much about global warming for so long that most people either accept it as fact or ignore it as hype. Well, Al Gore is right. The Earth is indeed growing warmer. His assumption that the cause is due to mankind's polluting the environment is faulty, however. It turns out that the... ( added 1 year 234 days ago.) |
Global Warming is a Left Wing Power Ploy . . . Or is it? -
- Jeff Brown (10,529)  
Jeff Brown
The sky is falling . . . and it's damn hot too. According to some sources, it's a given. Global warming is real. Just ask Al Gore or watch An Inconvenient Truth . Probably more convenient to just rent the movie. Al's busy researching, mulling over his poorly kept piles of paper and referencing... ( added 1 year 330 days ago.) |
Energy Conservation - Who Has Practical Ideas? -
Jean Horst (1,178)  
Jean Horst
This last year has started to turn me green. Not a lot, but a little. For me any amount of green is significant. By green, you may have figured out, I mean the conservation-style green, not the jealousy-style green, or the I’ve-worn-this-copper-ring-too-long green. Up until this point in my life...

World Sight Day is held the second Thursday of October. This year it falls on Oct. 8. The day is an annual day of awareness with the goal to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment.

Going Green? Why Not Go All the Way? -
Danny Davids (19,463)
Danny Davids
I was scanning an article the other day from an author who told of her experiences with lawncare in the desert climate of Los Angeles. She lamented how expensive it was to maintain a well-manicured lawn, complained about how people were wasting drinking water to maintain green grass and plants... ( added 91 days 10 hours ago.) |
Because of Krugman's Ire, He Missed a Second Count of Treason -
Walter Rhett (3,005)
Logic and fallacies used to be introduced in 9 th grade, but based on a review of recent congressional debates, reader's comments, and a New York times column, many folk need a refresher course. In his Sunday's New York Times column, Paul Krugman, a Nobel Laureate in Economics, captured national... ( added 142 days 15 hours ago.) |
Bait And Switch: Cap And Tax -
Michael Ramzy (829)  
Michael Ramzy
You would think I would be ecstatic on anything that can stop global warming. Why? Because we are having record-setting days here in Texas: 104 yesterday, probably 106 today. Geez, I hope we get this global warming under control so the summers here in Texas can be cooler.
Of course, I can't... ( added 146 days 18 hours ago.) |

Is the Environmentalist Movement Culpable for the Spread of Malaria? -
Joel Kontinen (2,397)  
Joel Kontinen
The mainstream media (MSM) has a way of describing issues in a black and white way. Carbon dioxide, we are told, is bad, at least when there's too much of it in the atmosphere. Green is good and fossil fuels are bad. Such stereotypes are easy to grasp and easy to remember.
However, in the... ( added 208 days 19 hours ago.) |

Nancy Daniels
It is 5:00 am in the morning. It is 29 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the 3 rd day of Spring. And, it is New Jersey, for crying out loud, not North Dakota! Now let me see. If I remember correctly, the first snowfall in our area occurred on October 15 th , 2008. (No, it didn't lay, nor did it last, but... ( added 243 days 20 hours ago.) |
Climate Change Problem Switches To Global Cooling -
Joel Hendon (18,637) 
Joel Hendon
Scientists, who were not on the fat grants payroll, have been telling us all along that man made emissions were not the cause of global warming.

The Benefits of Global Warming: Where is Global Warming When You Need It? -
Mogama (16,516) 
Mogama
That the climate of the earth is changing few would argue. But that such a change is on the warm side, and that the change is man-made, that's where the lines of arguments are drawn. In lieu of current ice storms in certain parts of the United States, it behooves those who have made a career out... ( added 293 days 1 hour ago.) |

Myla Madson (3,388) 
Myla Madson
I'm all for thoughtful debate over controversial subjects such as global warming, but the opinions of a growing number of doubters as to the legitimacy of this man made crisis epitomizes the ignorance and misinformed notions this group has on perhaps the most important environmental issue in the...
