Believe you have to consider all aspects in the current economic climate – personally do no think we have seen the full extent of the recesssion, so would be cautious in considering.

We could demand wind up technology for a lot more gizmos plus make sure manufacturers make equipment that actually turns off when you press the off button.

Comment on 100 Days to Copenhagen … counting down to the climate summit in December 2009. by Jasper

There have been some encouraging signs in the run-up to Copenhagen that tropical rainforests are very likely to be included in negotiations. Policymakers and economists will be putting a value on the stored carbon they contain.

If we are going to have priorities, then preventing deforestation must surely be at the top of the list. It should be more preventable than some of the other problems facing us.

Unless the person who spoke is filled with hatred for Black people, their comments can not be decribed honestly and correctly as "hate speech". ,

Comment on Farmers want your human waste. by Michele

I understand the cost effectiveness for farmers but what about air quality?
This odor hangs in the air and only lightens up through the winter and then comes back again in the spring with such a strong odor! This is unfair to those who life around these farm fields and choose not to farm this way. You can’t even enjoy being outside because of the stinch! So, much for having family and friends over. You become a prisoner in and around your home. Never ot leave the windows open again due to this foul odor!!
Some one please help, we are gagging!!!

Comment on Farmers want your human waste. by Clive

We would all prefer not to s..t. And those about us who ‘go’ every day are low types. But sh…ing is a wonderful, natural process (as distinct from eating Macca’s) which takes from our bodies the dead bacteria that have kept us alive by doing their duty in our gut. And if we had the (uncommon) common sense to eat the plain whole foods that our grandmothers cooked – eschewing all the drugs and additives we so enjoy – then our c..p would be much more user friendly than it is. With the right soil profile and some other considerations, it could be piped untreated – yes untreated – straight onto suitably timbered (flora covered) areas and left to do it’s next round of duty, for the flora. Compared with waste dumps at mining sites – we won’t even consider nuclear waste – the human waste, so handled, is almost a piece of cake within a few weeks of hitting the ground. Those of us don’t s..t would be offended by the pong but, hey….

It’s quite a lot like death really. These days we ‘pass’ rather than dying and we generally go six feet under or get burnt. Going that far under is silly. This is at last being realised, with shallower burials in cardboard boxes under flora cover being encouraged by the enlightened. Great natural stuff, using the carcase this way. Getting burnt is truly disgusting and will have to be curtailed eventually, just like all the chemicals we currently apply to our s..t in the treatment centres.

Comment on Ghana: food or biofuels by Christina

Liked the article – any good sources that you can provide that you used to base your article on?

I am in Ghana right now writing up a project on land grabbing vs. land development …its a very actual topic, very interesting and involves many players and once again, the exposure of misuse of power by the elite!

Comment on Images & video from the North Pacific gyre. by Ken Adams

This is just another way for the eco terrorists to make money. Everything they try to terrify the innocent people with is THEORY. There is no definitive proof of this so called garbage island. It is a theory only. Money, money money is all they care about. How many billions of dollars are wasted each year on “green” items? The Earth is warming, true, but it is natural. We make no difference in the world. The Earth has been around for 5 billions years. The average temperature of the planet is warmer than it is now. Because it is inconvenient to us, it MUST be some horrible man made phenomenon. It’s all about money.
