Comment on Freshly Green #19: Natural Pet Care by Teri

I really really enjoyed this program on your store and fully support what you are doing for pets in the green world. The rest of the world has to get used to using high quality ingredients and three cheers for Alison Chandler — good quality pet foods doesn’t have to cost much more. The one advantage you will have is to break the cycle of high veterinarian bills that you will be paying if you don’t use good quality in all your foods for your pets, and further ..for yourself.

I LOVED THIS article!!!

I am re-inspired to grow something in my tiny side yard on the south side with very little sun!

There must be something I will grow that I can eat. LOL

Thank you so much!

Comment on Freshly Green #13: Solar Power Plants by John Payne

Isn’t it interesting when people say PV is “too dear”. The same people don’t worry about spending a large amount of money on oversized homes they don’t need, or over-sized 4WD SUV’s they drive around the suburbs.

I like the saying “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” Thank you for encouraging those who value the environment and their children’s future above material ‘things’.

Comment on Let’s Clear the Air by Ray

Ray — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 06:37:42 +0000

Sounds prety extreme, but be careful where you go with these analogies.

Consider the following:

Gallon of gas weighs 6.25 pounds
Gas is 87% carbon.
That means there is 5.4375 pounds of carbon in gallon of gas. The ratio of carbon weight to oxygen weight in CO2 is 2.666666667.
Thus gallon of gas makes 14.5 lbs of C02.

I drive my car each year about 25,000 miles.
My car gets 28 mpg, Which generates 12,946 lbs of CO2 per year.
My car weighs 3800 lbs so it Generates 3.4 lbs of CO2 per lb of vehicle per year.

Now a human exhales about 2 lbs C02 per day (assuming a 2500 calarie diet) which is 730 lbs of CO2 per year.
I weigh 180 lbs which means I exhale about 4.1 lbs of CO2 per lb per year.

Well there is one reason to gain weight.

Comment on Greenland’s ice sheet melts as temperatures rise by John

John — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 01:28:06 +0000

What do we do about the Earth’s greatest green house gas… H2O? H2O traps a much higher heat than CO2, yet there has been a push towards hydrogen cars which emit H20. I guess I am confused?!?!?

Comment on Greenland’s ice sheet melts as temperatures rise by William White

William White — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:27:36 +0000

All my life I’ve listened to how much we humans are causing the ice pack to melt and how it’s all our fault. If I remember history correctly, 400-500 years ago we had a mini ice age - before the industrial revolution - before cars.

And I’m told that 10,000 years ago we had a major ice age, even before humans figured out how to warm their caves. So if ice ages come regardless of man’s influence, how are we at fault? For making it come 100 years sooner? Big whoop. If history is any indication - it’s going to happen anyway - regardless of what we do.

I don’t understand why everyone keeps pulling the public towards the phenomena in Greenland and the Antartic PENINSULA…the interior of Antartica has been in a cooling trend for the last 30 years (increasing the size of the ice mass) and has not been impacted by “Global Warming”. There are plenty of scientific reports that identify this fact and also point out that the so called “models” being used to predict the impact of global warming are no better than throwing a dart and reading where it landed on the board. These scare tactics are shameless…if you really have a message to send to the public, you should let them know the full story and make an overall compelling case given ALL the facts!

Anthony - Thanks so much for the question. We actually get that a lot as we work so well together, but alas Amy is marrying a very nice guy named Jeff.

You mention that you (Greg and Amy) are business partners, and that you are planning this Big Fat Green Wedding, but many of your fans (including myself) are left to wonder if it is the two of you who are getting married?

Comment on A breakthrough for bamboo growers by Scott

Yeah, that is an excellent story. Glad to see someone finally is successful in micro propagating bamboo. Now if the rest of the world can truly understand the importance and potential of bamboo it would be phenominal!

Comment on Freshly Green #2: Photovoltaics by Jim Stack

Jim Stack — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 03:36:31 +0000

I liked #2 PV. The net-metering is also very good. We now have it from SRP who started it in 2004 and APS just started giving it in July 2007. Now I want us to keep our REC Renewable Energy Credits. I’ve been asking the Corporation Commission to fix that mistake.
The payback is also not nuclear waste since 20% of the power in AZ comes from Palo Verde. We also don’t make mercury pollution like the 50% of energy from coal. Solar also doesn’t use water like both nuclear and coal. We all save with better safer power.

Wow! Mikey D’s has delivery in the UK?
I don’t eat at McDonald’s, but that’s a good move on their part.
Especially considering the amount of oil they use in their cooking.

Comment on Solar Shielding, The Final Defence? by Ruben

Ruben — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 19:10:28 +0000

Intresting premise about an earth shield, I have heard about this years ago in an achient manuscript, it refered to a shield that existed over the earth made of water in the form of ice ofcourse. It has been notice that air pockets traped in amber have a diffrent confirguration of gases than our current air. I have to agree with your concers about the use of sulphr. (please excuse my typos). Oh that manusrip which is shown to have vality with the findings in amber and other areas is the bible, This canopy provided much of the water in the flood.
