4 things to know about your carbon footprint

holy shit my footprints small does that mean i g0ot a little dink

I just wear odor eaters. It helps the ozone. LOL

Mines huge and I want to make it bigger.

I think I do pretty well in reducing my carbon footprint by not eating beef at all. The only beef I eat is true organic beef, which is too expensive to eat regularly. I never eat beef these days actually. I stopped eating stock beef that is sold because of the hormones. I will keep going, I will end up eating very little meat of any kind, but beef was the first step.

I like my vegan well done.
I eat meat and realize that we are living longer now than at any time in history thanks to medicines and the fact that something is NOT killing us: the environment obviously.
Life is good.

Living longer doesn't necessarily mean living better. I never said beef killed people early, necessarily. People's health is being affected by all the artificial crap and the way they're bending food with hormones and chemicals. You go ahead and believe there can be authoritative findings about the long term effects of these things, but as far as I can tell, many effects are already evident. So many fat people, cancers, etc. You want to place so much faith in medicine? Go for it, I won't. In fact I may not even be able to afford it the way things are going.

Air quality test results by Johns Hopkins

The attorney's claim actually has more validity than you know:
Air quality test results by Johns Hopkins University, the American Cancer Society, a Minnesota Environmental Health Department, and various researchers whose testing and report was peer reviewed and published in the esteemed British Medical Journal......prove that secondhand smoke is 2.6 - 25,000 times SAFER than occupational (OSHA) workplace regulations:

All nullify the argument that secondhand smoke is a workplace health hazard.
Especially since federal OSHA regulations trump, or pre-empt, state smoking ban laws which are not based on scientific air quality test results.

I think I'll burn a tire today.

You all suck anyway. Thanks for stopping by.

Why not do this

Carbon footprints, global warming, save the planet.

There is money to be made in this, I must get my low carbon thinking cap on.

I have a negative carbon footprint because I work at a nuclear power plant.

The original article could not even get the definition of "carbon footprint" right! No wonder people are confused about global warming.

Their big error was: not setting a period of time over which the carbon release is measured. But since they are talking about 'tons', it seems they mean "over a year".

Their minor error is referring to 'pollutants' later on in the article, where they should have referred to carbon, which is not per se a pollutant.

That does sound interesting, but let's not forget: if you take the carbon out of the air using the algae, but then just put it back into the air by selling the vegetable oil for use as food/fuel, then you haven't really removed the carbon from the atmosphere.

Now of course, that is better than taking the vegetable oil from somewhere else. But we are already past the "tipping point": we need to take carbon out of the air and put it away, not put it back into the air another way at a later time.

Why don't you stick your carbon footprint where the Sun don't shine and learn some science? Learn it on your own, though. Don't depend on the teachers who indoctrinated you in the first place.

Why are 6 billion people living with the longest life span in human history? Because all those artifical pesticides permit more food to be grown than ever before. Of course, all that food and people living longer means an unavoidable growth in the planetary carbon footprint.

Why don't the eco-freakos ever explain this?

I read and fully understand this whole thread.

Gawd, I regret that!

Hey we just need to start reducing the human lifespan. That's a quick and easy way to reduce one's carbon footprint. Unless a lot of 'em opt for cremation, I suppose.

Cremation: Last opportunity to thumb your nose at Al Gore.

SSSHHH !

That's down the road once they get in power.
What you stated is the most obvious of facts but the sheeple of the unwashed masses cannot be told about it until all guns are gone from the folks and the " Fairness Doctrine " is law again.

who CARES..........your carbon foot print has nothing to do with global warming. The one thing it does do is help the trees grow. By the way, Mars and Venus have glogal warming also at the same time.....did we cause that too? No. The sun did. If we could blow up the sun we wouldn't have global warming. By the way, if it weren't for global warming, we'd still be in the Ice age.
