Environment - April 2007

I mean, C'mon folks how much energy do you think it takes to put out a concert like they do. All that lighting and sound equipment must leave a HUGH brown spot in their green world. So how can they say one thing and do another? Where is their credibilty on this issue?

I'm planning to give up the use of chemicals that ruin our environment as far as possible. I have already given up a lot of things ----- including the use of body soaps ( I use multani mitti) and mosquito repellar.

I want to know is there any natural ingredient which can be used to wash clothes, so that I don't have to use detergents.

In Indian villages in the past they used Donkey's **** to wash clothes (that's what I've been told ----- but that is kind of impractical in city life).

Is there anything to wash utensils apart from 'ash'?

Water vapour, although present only in small amounts in the atmosphere, is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. Many say that the solution to global warming lies in the use, especially in vehicles, of hydrogen fuel cells, which emit only water vapour. If this water vapour is not forcibly condensed, at the expense of more energy, before being emitted, is it not likely that, in the long run, say 50 years later, be in itself a cause of climate change. Even if the water vapour condenses in the atmosphere and falls as rain, would it not increase global rainfall? Also, what is the truth about suggestions that hydrogen fuel cells emit dangerous levels of hydrogen peroxide, and if so, how may this affect global climate and/or human health?

Some years ago, I red that florescent bulbs take a surge of energy to get them started. What I red said that if you turn the light on and offf more than 3 or 4 times, it uses up as much energy as if you just left it on all day. Does anybody who knows what they are talking about know anything about this?

There is a gas company on the shore of the Hudson River. They have a wastewater discharge permit. But today when I was walking nearby I saw big bubbles of some type of gasoline-like substance coming up from the river bed to the surface every several seconds.

Should I report this to someone? Or would gasoline-like substances be permitted under a wastewater discharge permit? I went on the EPA's web site and found the facility, but the jargon made no sense to me and I could not make heads or tails of it. Thanks

I've seen a documentary stating things like:

-Gores graph linking Co2 to Earth's temperature is misleading, seeing as the Co2 had an 800 year lag behind Earth's temperature. They argued that it's BECAUSE of the change in Earth's temperature that the gas' abundance will change.

-The Earth's temperature has been fluctuating since we can remember, and that this is just another high and nothing to be worried about.

-The levels of Co2 in the atmosphere have been steadily increasing since long before the industrialization of nations was even starting (long before 1940).

-Theres such a small fraction of a percent of co2 in the atmosphere, and an even smaller fraction of that fraction is produced by humans (rotting vegetation produces more co2 than do factories).

I would like to hear supporters of this argument providing more examples of why this theory should remain just that, a theory, and not a fact.

PLEASE no supporters of the apposing arguments, you hippies have had your chance.

The most immediate threat is the loss of the bee population worldwide, and the most obvious reason is cell phones. Global warming is obviously not the problem as bees have existed in the hottest climates, and it is obvious that their communication to return to the hive is prevented by cell phone use. So why is it you won't put away your cell phone? And more importantly the grandstanders on global warming still drive and walk and talk like every other person on the planet. I haven't owned an auto in 20 yrs nor do I use my cellphone except in an emergency. What is Leo DiCaprio doing, recent cover boy, as I saw on Vanity Fair, or say Al Gore doing, really, I mean really, to curtail the problem. Live in Poverty or Live to Die.
