You must know all the carbon locked up in coal,oil&gas was at one time in the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Way back then the atmosphere 100s of times more CO2 than it now has. And yet at that time biomass was being generated at a far greater rate than now.

Why can't we put LED lights in toys, so the batteries will last longer. Those yoyos that light up would last a lot longer on one battery.

Seems like there should be a way to generate/ harness the energy from everybody running on treadmills in healthclubs, even at home I guess- seems like since they're working so hard anyway- the energy should be put to good use. Could it work?

Way before the pet food scare, I have given much thought about purchasing fish products, canned meats from some countries, juices, fresh fruits/veggies and dried fruits. Am I paranoid? Are there items I've missed? What items do you avoid?

Half of them that are government or U.N. funded tell us that global warming is man made, the other half that are funded by big business tell us that it's a naturally occuring event caused by the Sun, so which scientists do we believe and how does a layperson pick which group of scientists to believe are we subject to press propaganda or do we read the facts from a variety of sources and make up our own minds ? and then again can't facts be manipulated to suit your own agenda ??

I really like thunderstorms, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. They say that electrical storms actually stimulate some sort of feelings in your body, and I believe it.

I was at Partners the other day and noticed one of those compact, home-use paper shredders and was wondering if shredded paper is easier to recycle than sheet paper? Stripe-cut, cross-cut or whatever cut they've got to offer.

I do understand that the main reason behind shredding your papers is security but does doing so has any benefits other than piece of mind?

the earth's climate has always run in cycles from very cold to very warm. only 2% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is produced by human activity. I guess it doesn't hurt to try but is seems a bit like pissing in the ocean to me.

Since most of the surface of Earth is not producing any biomass at this time why not do whatever is reqired to help plants grow? If 1/3 of the surface was producing boimass there would be no CO2 problem.
