All the Earths problems are caused by overpopulation. Nature has always solved this problem by disease, or disaster. Should we just ignore it and wait. Or do something before it's too late. And keep in mind that it will never be too late for the Earth, it will survive. The question is survival of the Human race.

I read about how the soil of tropical rainforests cannnot sustain intensive farming since they are not as fertile as arable land. It suggests that instead we should now maximise yields on existing arable land instead of clearing tropical rainforests. I would like to ask why can arable land sustain agriculture for so long since the soil has been cleared of its trees anyway and decomposition no longer occurs as frequently which makes the soil degenerate eventually too. Therefore why is it suggested that we should maximise on existing arable lands since by logic they will like the not very fertile soils of tropical rainforest eventually degenerate unless arable land can somehow regenerate nutrients which tropical rainforest soil cannot.

Before you start thinking I'm a weirdo, I live in AZ and the fire control guys have started doing controlled burns up on the mountains for the fall season. WOW, it smells SO GOOD! It's like a big fireplace or a mesquite barbecue and it's making me hungry for a charcoal grilled steak.

Luckily, we had no forest fires in my area this year--last year, there were several--and we had more rain, so the firefighters got a bit of a break. Who else lives in a fire-prone region?

Our town has just put in a small one and it's very nice, once the Persil suds drain away and the supermarket trolley is taken back to Tescos. In Paris, public fountains abound and all those hegative ions really makes a difference to the atmosphere.

I'm north-east of Dallas and I'm looking to dump and/or donate old computer monitors, computers, scanners, zip drives, old television sets, etc. I know that it's certainly not environmentally conscience to simply dump these into the city dump, and most of them still work.

Is there a good place in Plano/Richardson/McKinney/Frisco to donate these parts? Also, I have a large television that is over 20 years old, not sure if it still works. Is there a service that would come get it from my house?

I want to start working with cafe press or some place similar, and donating a portion of my profits to various causes, primarily anything about eco-friendly living and going green. How should I start this? How could I market? What is a good percentage to keep/donate? Would I need a business license? I dont know where to begin but I know this is something I am supposed to do.
Thank you in advance!

John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.

The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel.


What are your thoughts about this discovery?

Activists take Al Gore to task on his diet
By Philip Sherwell, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 12:52pm BST 10/09/2007



He may be the hero of the environmental movement for his crusade against global warming but Al Gore is about to be targeted by animal rights activists over his carnivorous contribution to greenhouse gases.


Al Gore has come under fire for failing to highlight the impact of animal agriculture


Citing United Nations research that the meat industry is worse for the environment than driving and flying, animal rights groups are directing a campaign at the former American vice-president's diet.

When he delivers a lecture on global warming in Denver next month, protesters will display billboards bearing a cartoon image of Mr Gore eating a drumstick and the message: "Too chicken to go vegetarian? Meat is the No 1 cause of global warming".

The campaign is being organised by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) and is backed by other animal rights groups.

"For Al Gore, the fact that his diet is a leading contributor to global warming is a highly inconvenient truth - pun intended," said Matt Prescott, a spokesman for Peta.

Mr Gore won an Oscar this year for An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary based on his lecture-circuit presentation detailing how man is allegedly destroying the environment.

But he is now under fire for failing to highlight the impact of meat-eating.

According to recent UN Food and Agriculture Organisation research, animal agriculture generates 18 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions - more than the 13.5 per cent produced by all forms of transport combined.

In Southern Claifornia many of the endangered species are found in coastal sage scrub and grassland habitats, but toad and frog populations are in decline. Shouldn't we be paying attention to all the canaries in the coal mine that is planet earth?
