Do you think that people who toss cigarette butts on the ground should be fined for littering?
I think they should- cigarette butts just sit there for years- my brother saw someone toss one out their window today and got angry. It is nothing more or nothing less than littering- cigarette butts are tossed anywhere and everywhere and they can take decades to degrade
what do you think
mikk- not true- not all states have a littering fine for cigarette butts
Eyliin D and not all smokers toss them
Think the trillions spent in Iraq may have found an alternative green energy source?
We actually have the technology, but the Military Industrial Complex, and Big Business have been shelving the alternatives for 6 decades or longer.
Read MoreWhy are people so unwilling to accept the concept of climate change?
I understand if they don’t know much about it. But they seem so adamant about denying it. The theory of global climate change and its causes are widely agreed upon in the scientific community. It is science that has been studied for decades, and is not a fanatical religious belief.
So, why can people not accept it?
Read MoreWhy is Ethanol the targeted choice Alternative Fuel?
I just saw an article that gives a bunch of reasons NOT to use corn-based Ethanol. Especially since it’s one of our base grain foods. Why aren’t they going with Biodiesel – the veggie van, that was a great example. Plus in Texas, there’s a ton that runs all of their garbage trucks off greenenergy made from their landfill. Which they’ve in turn made into a fuel processing area. If you watch YouTube there are tons of alternative energy choices we could be making in the US. How do we get more people to discover what we have the ability to do now; then while we set it up and use it, continue to try improving it.
Why is it that things that make sense are so hard to get acted upon?
The largest problem with Ethanol is that it uses up fossil fuel to produce it. It isn’t efficient in production or in use. It doesn’t equal out production cost/energy to consumption/usage. So besides taking away a food source (read labels – corn, corn syrup, etc ) it also is more costly to produce it. Especially since they’re using old energy to create it. While biodiesel has been used for decades on farms and is cheaper to produce. So political seems to be the key to backing it would seem. How about a grassroots movement to choose biodiesel? Just as many states have chosen to honor the Kyoto plan dispite the gov’t not signing it. If they won’t do what we want, we enforce it state by state. If the gov’t has stopped working for the people – then the people need to start working for themselves.
