Environment - January 2007

I can think of lots of good commercial reasons (making us pay extra because they know we're worried about the environment and want to do something; compensating the loss as one low-energy bulb can replace ten regulard ones; price fixing) but is there anything inherent in the components that makes them so bloody expensive?

I just read a blog http://www.wildlifedirect.org/gorillaprotection/ about the Congo rebels killing the endangered silverback gorillas and eating them for food. They are also feasting on hippos (numbers have fallen to almost extinction) and orangutans. The rebels are causing damage to the forested areas by clear cutting the trees and polluting the land. Do you think we should send in troops and kill the rebels or just let the ******* destroy their habitat?

CFC's were banned in 1978 from use in most aerosols. Only a few product types needing to use CFC propellents were allowed to continue using CFC's....an example is inhalers.

Should there be laws put in place to control our growth? Are you for or against this idea? Do you have a better solution, besides a mass murder..

From deadly hurricanes to snow in southern California to a snowless winter in Cincinnati, the chicken littles of the world may have had a point, right? How does everyone else feel about this? Anyone getting worried about the environment yet? What should we do about all those who think that there is no reason to change our ways?

There are some people who claim the stuff being dumped into landfills cannot be processed into useful raw material. But it is clear to me at least everything being dumped can be processed at some scale at a profit. You can't expect to do this on a small scale but the whole world is being poluted by use of landfills so on a large scale processing trash makes very good dollar sense. Its all a matter of good engineering and very practical from any perspective.
