nunyan asked:


We use fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) for many things: power for
transportation, electricity production, home and industrial heating. Often overlooked is the fact that these “fuels” also provide the basic raw materials for medicines and all of the polymer products (clothing, plastics, etc.) that we use everyday. Should we be burning the raw materials for medicine and polymers? Where will we be in 50 yrs on this issue?

I got mine yesterday in the mail, I love it! I think its a great way to advertise better environmental habits. Has anyone gotten one yet?

Big thanks to Yahoo Answers for their involvement in the awareness of better environmental standards. For those interested in how the bags look, visit www.ecobags.com

So the question is, if you got one, how likely are you to buy other eco products as well, for example buying a few of the recycled totes to carry your groceries home instead of plastic bags, or a company doing private label to hand out during events, special promotions, etc.

I think its a great step towards recycled, reusable products that can also be economical in the longrun. What do you think?

okei asked:


I’m renting and can’t change the carpet, so I need more of a temporary fix. Would enzyme digesters work and do you recommend which I can get in the UK?

It seems a bit crazy, but would Milton fluid work, or how about Squirt-Eco?

We can’t use Nuclear power (even though it is the safest and cleanest form of electricity. And if you did any research on the only three “disasters” you would know that two of them were a direct result of Russia doing something extraordinarily stupid and against the specs of the plant. And that Three Mile Island was never a threat and they did exactly what they should have)

We can’t use hydro power (Even though there is no waste product at all and the locations we build them at are locations that already have irrigation)

We should all drive hybrids (Even though a motorcycle or mass transit is much cleaner)

We should all recycle (Even though the majority of all products recycled creates more CO2 and consumes more energy then making it from scratch and modern landfills and perfectly fine within a couple years to build on)

That all our power should be 100% clean in ten years (Even though that is financially ludicrous. And the enormity of all the solar panels and windmills it would take would be near impossible)

Or that humans are causing global warming (Despite that 30 years ago it was the second ice age. That we only contribute 4% of all “green house gasses”, well behind volcanoes, forest fires, and plant decay. And only if you ignore the fact that the sun’s rays have been the only conclusive link in climate change)

Seriously though, screw these people and all of my money they are consuming.

Am I wrong?

Julie L asked:


I can’t find any information on the Arm & Hammer Website about this product at all. I realize it is new to the shelves, but you’d think they would be promoting it a lot more as eco-friendly if in fact it is. It is supposed to be a more eco-friendly laundry detergent made with essential oils and with plant based ingredients, no oil or petroleum based, but the label doesn’t help and the internet is shockingly sparse on any information at all.
