Great memories, indeed.

Bag Ban Sends Strong Message by Environmental Consultants http://spoutingoff.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/l-a-bag-ban-sends-strong-message/#comment-3000 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:00:31 +0000 http://spoutingoff.wordpress.com/?p=2370#comment-3000 This is all well and good, but what is the alternative for people. Paper. . .or straight in the garbbage via a bucket or somthing. I am just considering the practicalities.

In the UK I am currently up to four bins / pales for waste segregation which takes up a lot of room.

I would be interested to know of the practicalities if anyone would explain.

I am adding this to a power point I made for my world history classes. We are studying human rights and the issues of water scarcity. So sad that we treat our planet as such and the impact of it on humans. It is also frightening to learn about how. American industries are just as guilty too.

I would like to share this that will surely help in water conservation as well as our unemployed veterans:

Eco-Vets!

They will hire vets to install low flush toilets. A Vet can have a well paying job and 9000 gallons of water per year will be saved! They can hire wounded worriors too.

Regarding the fishing of bottom feeders like spiny lobster, is there any toxicity information about the benthic ecology as you refer?

The Times is becoming increasingly irrelevant and unTimely, in fact it appears to be nothing more than a forum for Macys and Donald Sterling’s self-promotion ads. Time to reconsider our subscriptions.

Happy to see a legitimate step towards harvesting rain water, expected California to lead the way with this movement.
