Fake trees for me are the best options, first because it s a natural process and second it s easy and anybody can do it .

I divide my time between Vancouver and Southern Colorado's San Luis Valley. Down here I live off the grid, depending 100% for my electric power on solar and a Honda generator when I need it. Solar isn't the panacea all the greenies make it out to be, but it does discipline you fast into not wasting watts. I was down in Los Alamos recently. Look what they've developed -a zero-maintainence nuclear power generator the size of two stacked dumpsters that can provide electricity for 10,000 people for 25 years. It's to be buried 300 feet deep and encased in concrete. http://www.chernobylee.com/blog/images/200812/Hyp...

Each human consumes ridiculous amounts of energy and creates tons of waste. I dont think they're saying we should all get *fixed* but millions of accidental children are probably being born each year. If none of them existed how much would we save?

You have to feel pretty bad when some little country like Bermuda can take the initiative and make the rest of us look like we are stuck in the stone age.

Actually, a black roof will help keep your house warmer in the summer though! That is one reason why you have venting and some people have or solar wind powered vents. In the winter, you don't get an appreciable heat, but in the summer you sure do.

#6 Contraception: You mean that not having a baby is good for the environment? Perhaps we should all stop breathing for 2 minutes every hour to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere.; or stop cremations due to the discharge of greenhouse gases. One could go on and on.

9 billion people? more people alive today then have ever died? before you make a serious opinion, actually make an attempt to educate yourself.

Bermuda.. it is law there that all roofs must be white washed AND collect all of the rain water. Island nations with little natural resources have been doing this for years.. It is not just so they look pretty in postcards. Some of the biggest impacts take the least amount of "technology". A company in Toronto ( http://www.tapwater-bottle.com ) is now selling reusable glass tap water bottles using the retro Grolsch style caps and vintage style glass bottles. No technology required, made with natural materials yet given a stylish design that appeals to peoples vanity so people want to carry them even if they are not environmentally aware.

The best way to save the planet is to totally ignore the ridiculous green movement and people who utter the word "sustainable". The whole thing is bogus.

Bill and Joe have been buddies since junior high. They've done a few fishing weekends, a ton of bar-hopping, and a handful of hockey games. Bill was best man at Joe and Katy's wedding. Bill is godfather to their kids.

But when Bill suggested that Joe come over to share a shower with him…

its pretty scary that there is something like 9 000 000 000 people out there !!! more people are alive today then have ever died in the history of earth

its not too insane if these devices are 100 times better than real trees for carbon dioxide reduction …another idea is for there to be no limit on peoples lawns and for rooves to have grass or plants

I suppose I was too subtle. Sorry about that. But you have shot down, in an earnest and serious manner, the hypocritical insanity of self-congratulatory purchase of a Prius. I was just making flippant fun of the hypocritical insanity.

11. Have kids and raise them well, so that there will be enough pairs of hands in 50 years to solve the engineering/energy challenges of the day.

N.L. Gibson — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:01:47 +0000

I think steel, rubber, lead, plastics etc. are required in order to produce a Prius.
When you calculate a carbon footprint you need to include every piece of the equation. This includes the energy used to extract raw materials, the material to make shipping vehicles, the energy used to propel the shipping vehicles, the carbon footprint of the people needed to make all the components etc etc.
Of course you portion these costs among the useful lifetime but these things add up. And don't forget the landfill costs at the end of it all.
That's what a carbon footprint is. That may sound anal but you can't erase a footprint in the middle of a forest without walking in there in the first place.

Thanks, but, you know, I did. The insanity is all right there in point two. REAL trees are pretty cheap REAL CO2 sponges.

Bbbbut what if the drive home was in a Prius?

By: Nancy Gibson

Nancy Gibson — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:11:46 +0000

I find it hard to believe that a mere $32 is all the green technology required to negate 40 years of a new human's carbon footprint. I expect $32 worth to be wiped out in the drive home from the maternity ward.

I hope some of these issues are brought to the table in Copenhagen this December. Our children are hinging their future on our choices. We are brought up to believe that we live in one of the best countries in the world. I believe that we need our leaders to commit to some of these innovative ideas to give hope to the kids. So what if it costs a little more at the start.
Start with the things you can change personally, like set up a vermi-composter in your kitchen, or get involved with local transportation planning issues to accommodate more alternative, eco-friendly options.
Make big business pay for their misuse and abuse of natural resources…

The way the world is reproducing itself, you don't have to worry about that. all they are saying is don't bring unwanted children into the world. Be educated and responsible.

Absolutely correct. The space between a roof and the livable space is SUPPOSED to be frozen in the winter.

Wow. who knew that 'white-washing' could reduce our impact on the earth. Why isn't this being invested in? You would think that instead of investing in renewable technology that is extremely expensive you would invest in some paint? Also with the Feed in Tariffs. Nothing like getting a return from you own tax dollars on a renewable investment.

RE: #4 It is a myth that a black roof will help keep a house warm in Canada. Anyone who had built or renovated a house will know that a well insulated ceiling and properly ventilated attic will prevent heat from getting from a black roof into the house. Besides, the black roof does not heat up when covered in snow. I know – I have a black roof.
