Companies and people worldwide will still exploit resources.

According to UN:

- The world’s population has grown by 34% to 6.7 billion in 20 years

- Annual income per head has grown by 40% to US$8,162

- 73,000km2 of forest is lost across the world each year – 3.5 times the size of Wales

- 75,000 people a year are killed by natural disasters

- Three million die of water-related diseases

- Ten million children under 10 die

- Farmers produce 39% more from their land than in the 1980s

- 60 per cent of the world’s major rivers have been dammed or diverted

- Populations of freshwater fish have declined by 50 per cent in 20 years

- More than half of all cities exceed WHO pollution guidelines

Do you believe this?

My state is full of paper mills and I don't know of anything that could be much worse than the stench that smells like **** and rotten cabbage. Livestock rendering plants don't exactly smell like a perfume factory either. What have you got that could possibly smell any worse than these?

Many years ago, Kate and I developed a Stewardship Model for Tom’s of Maine in order to codify all of the natural, sustainable practices we were already following—such as only using natural ingredients and never testing on animals. The Stewardship Model sets out very specific standards for natural, sustainable, and responsible practices, and guides all of us every day in our decision making.

Kate and I also feel that a commitment to sustainability should be incorporated into all areas of the company—not just the product formulations. Let me share just two examples: our packaging designer, Jack, purchases only post-consumer-waste recycled and recyclable materials and soy-based inks; and my Director of Product Supply, Mark, had some great ideas about using renewable energy sources, so in 2006, we began purchasing wind energy credits to offset 100% of our factory’s electricity needs.

This is big in the US and maybe London. Participators are known as Freegans and many are students or people on low incomes. The understanding is that they don't take more than they can carry and they leave everything tidy. (I think it's criminal the amount of perfectyly good food the supermarkets throw out.)

Nothing to do last night, so I went to a meeting of people against a LNG terminal going in near their house. Some of their worries were legitimate, but the ones they continued to harp on were just lies they made up to frighten themselves. "When a pipeline blows up it will dig a crater 1600 feet wide." When a ship blows up it will go off like a nuclear blast." The ship might contain as much energy as a small nuclear bomb, but it won't all go off at once since it needs oxygen to burn and its expansion rate is 1/10 the rate of a fission reaction. It could also be said a coal train (or a pencil eraser, if transformed to pure energy) has the power of a nuclear bomb, but obviously it isn't going to blow up like one.
The same concept holds true for the GW dilema. The vast majority of the people on earth aren't going to die from higher temperatures. Also, the government isn't going to tax us so much the economy fails and we will all have to live in caves

If its a fact then why ot use it to make el. energy for houses?
I have drawn a fantacy design about using the magnet car system that spins around. The system is to make a spiral stairs and the building are round. And every one step of the stairs are has a dynamo for making energy. And the system is if there is no wind and no sun light then it is also useful having it. My drawing of the magnet car,etc. are to be on the topp of the round building. For short do you ever the old light tower before it is very alike the system. insted of using the light you use the magnet car.

The Problem –

Glass bottles are used for laboratory analysis. During sampling and analysis a variety of sticky labels are put on each bottle. 100’s of glass bottles are washed and prepared for reuse for sampling of river water. The bottles must be very clean and have no residue from sticky labels. The bottles get a good soak which removes most of the labels. Very stubborn sticky labels stay on the bottles which are then removed with a pallet knife. The large number or bottles to be prepared means that this work is very repetitive and hard on the wrists.

The Challenge –

I’d like a machine to remove these labels. Solvents have been tried to little effect and do not remove all types of labels. In fact solvents and other chemicals may contaminate analysis so are generally avoided or have been found to be too dangerous or costly to the environment.

I welcome any suggestions or if you can build a tool/machine or otherwise to solve this problem let me know.

I know there are many things that seem as if they wouldn't be recyclable, and I wasn't sure if anyone knew if the Pitney Bowes ribbon cartridges (the red thing) are too.
Anyone know? Thanks!

On the news I saw this huge DC10 plane flying over california wildfires and dumping tons of this red fire retardent. What is that stuff? Is it true that this stuff is not good for the animals or vegetation? Can't we drop water to interfere less with nature?

PS: this is not in regard to California widfires (a terrible tragedy with 1000 plus homes lost) but in regard to general wild fire fighting.
