effectively making brownfields (decayed vacant urban areas polluted and uninhabitable) usable again is a big undertaking. usually the cost is borne by developers or communities (that would be tax dollars.) the advantage in re-using these places is that they're centrally located and accessible, typically with utilities nearby or in place, and they fulfill the need for more available land without having to add to urban sprawl.

ideally, what would be a specific way to re-use these centrally located brownfields and apply environmental ideals to them? how would you present your 'ideals' to councils or developers in a persuasive way? how could we make brown green again?

Okay think about it: you're trying to help the world by limiting your carbon footprint...but it takes so much more of a difference than even the most green person can do. And here there are people who need food and can't even make the decision to be green (although they're probably the greenest) and the food shelfs and charities are running dry. Why does concern for everyone else living with whatever consequences we've committed ourselves to seem to go lower in priority than our own fight to stay alive?

Disclaimer: Sorry about not having correct jargon!! Also, in essence I have nothing wrong with living green or trying to better the world physically - i'm just getting a perspective from you.

A drought or fungus could bring the United Staes to a halt if we depend on ethanol produced from corn. It is not economically prudent to depend on this type of fuel. See the link.

Like at Meijer or Mcdonalds, BK, Wendy's, etc? Would you pay a little more if they used earth friendly materials like: Biobags, biodegradable containers, cups, etc. ? Also I emailed/wrote letters to some places to tell them to use eco-friendly stuff:

McDonalds
Burger King
Wendy's
Meijer

Family Fare

Come on people lets have a bunch of people email/write/call all these places especialty big places that use a lot of non earth friendly stuff, and tell them that we want them to use eco-friendly stuff. But do me a favor email me at eco@2thegreenway.com and tell me what company you emailed, I really would like that! Also visit: 1. www.2thegreenway.com 2. www.ecoproducts.com 3. www.biobagusa.com Also you can email me at that address if you have any other eco related thing, and if you email me at the address above I'll forward any emails I get back from companys I emailed! If we get enough emails/letters/calls to these big company they might do it!!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!!! : )

are you willing to examine the other side of the argument?

Below is a link to a film on Google Video which shows the Swindle, and after each argument made in the film, a scientist from Edinburgh explains what was correct and what was incorrect about that argument.

Global warming skeptics are often complaining that those of us who accept anthropogenic global warming are unwilling to examine their evidence. Are you willing to examine ours?

In fact, global warming acknowledgers have not only watched but also critiqued the Swindle:

Why is the government waiting for massive proof or evidence of global warming to surface before they do much about it? The U.S. government is only going to start going green if other countries do it too, because if we're the only ones, along with a few other countries, they don't think it'll make that much of a difference. I'm not sure if it's real. I'm kinda skeptical, but why can't they take precautionary measures in case it's real??? Where I live, we've seen major climate changes this year. It's 20 to 40 degrees less than normal and it's raining practically every day during the summer. Any opinions?

Just how far are you willing to go for your new fad “going green” Are you willing to send the US economy into a depression as in the 20’s with millions out of work, and in food lines? Are you ready to sacrifice your computer, you home’s a/c system, your automobile? Are you ready to pay 10, 20, even 30% more for food due to limited shipments as well as accepting far fewer varieties of fruits and Vegs, for the sake of not using trucks to haul these items across country? Are you willing to do without items made from oil, including all products made of plastic, items like you computer, your water bottles, your ipod, your blackberry, your TV, your kitchen appliances, your cell phone. Let’s not be hypocritical, CA and Fl “roll back greenhouse emissions to the level of 2000” whoop de do, If it was destroying the world in 2000 what good is that? If you think that our behavior is destroying the world, what are you willing to give up.

I'm supervising a "land steward" day this morning, and we have a core group of volunteers who come every month and devote 3 hours of their day to help remove invasive plants and other tasks. Others drop in occasionally, mostly to do community service.

How do you fit into the picture? Do you know of places in your neck of the woods where you can -- or do -- volunteer?
