The argument against using human manure is that it is not safe. How can we use this valuable resource safely?

Any views? Would it have made a difference to the way we live now if they had acted instead of debated and got high?
What about Global Warming?

Why should we take into account what is happening globally? How does what we do affect people outside our own locality?
Why should we think globally and act locally?

Ever since "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore has been the darling of environmentalists, but that movie hardly endeared him to the animal rights folks. According to them, the most inconvenient truth of all is that raising animals for meat contributes more to global warming than all the sport utility vehicles combined.

In late November, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a report stating that the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined.

On its Web page and in its literature, the Humane Society has also been highlighting other scientific studies -- notably, one that recently came out of the University of Chicago -- that, in essence, show that "switching to a plant-based diet does more to curb global warming than switching from an S.U.V. to a Camry," said Paul Shapiro, senior director of the factory farming campaign for the Humane Society.

I see myself as a "nice guy" and a very sensitive guy. Im to nice to people and they treat me like **** to be honest. Im sick of it, i want to become more ruthless with these people, thats the only way they will take me seriously, instead of laughing at everything i say, its come to the point where i feel stupid if i say anything, because they always take it as a joke. I feel like im going to hurt someone soon, but i dont want that. Any tips, advice, is very appreciated.

steorn, with all their big ads and slick PR totally proved to be a scam.
I suspect a plot to discredit free energy, what else would explain such an expensive well publicized fraud like that. PR stunt, maybe, but why? whos going to deal with them at this point.

I work in a large plant which I'm sure uses a lot of energy. How would I go about suggesting the use of green energy to my employers. BTW: I'm not in management, so I don't know how I would get listened to.

With all the technology at our disposal, with so many wealthy nations, with an accumulated body of knowledge going back many centuries, why aren't we able to begin mending the damage we've done to this planet?

In my area, I often see construction vehicles knocking down trees and leaving less and less space for the animals to live.

Every time I see this I get; sad, worried, grief, angry, etc.

Every Sunday, more than 500,000 trees are used to produce the 88% of newspapers that are never recycled

How can people say that ther are "____ thousands of deaths each year" due to global warming? It is a "butterfly effect" idea to say things like that.

"global warming will increase the temperature, which leads to drought, which leads to crop destruction, which leads to famine, which leads to disease, ..........." and so on. things are NEVER that cut and dry. There are thousands of other factors.

Hurricanes getting stronger? Try looking back in history. there have been multitudes of category 5 hurricanes. This is the first year in a long time that the area i live in has NOT experienced a drought.

If global warming is still debatable, how can people make statements that go that far in depth.

If scientists continually alter their predictions due to "unforeseen" factors, then why are they even making predictions in the first place.

I think the last article i saw said that the weather effects wont be felt for another 9 years due to "unforeseen events".

Many who believe in climate change believe companies are suppressing information and technology to make more money doing business as usual. Many who don't believe in climate change think ecologists are just trying to steal their money and redistribute it to others.

50 years ago they were predicting an Ice Age..that never happened. We have hot days and cold days that set records. I think it's bull. But I do think we have a responsibility to clean up our planet and keep it from getting worse.
