"Some Say the World Will End in Fire, Some Say in Ice" (Robert Frost) - Jack H. Schick
Mankind has been lucky, so far. Over the past few million years the surface temperature of the planet has been much colder than it has been over most of Earth's history. However, the most recent, Pliocene-Quaternary Ice Age, has been relatively short, and, compared to previous cold spells, ice... Submitted 111 days 22 hours ago.
Bio-cremation: Dip, Strip, Flush and Grind - Jack H. Schick
I must have been about ten when my mom told me that my grandfather was going to be cremated when he died. It up set me. I assumed people were always buried. None of my “loved ones” had died yet, but I’d been to cemeteries with my parents to visit relatives I’d never known.... Submitted 227 days 10 hours ago.
We've all heard about piles of used automobile tires catching fire. We've seen the videos. Maybe some of us have witnessed it first hand and smelled the stench. Piling tire upon tire upon tire really isn't a fitting or environmentally sound end to their useful life of rolling cars down the roads.... Submitted 233 days 7 hours ago.
I Am That Eco-Friendly - Grace O'Malley
I do not mind being eco-friendly. I was raised that way. We recycle, are careful on what kinds of materials we buy, stay away from plastics as much as possible, drive relatively fuel efficient vehicles, re-use instead of throw away. Our heat is set at 68 in the winter and we try to avoid putting... Submitted 1 year 244 days ago.
Copenhagen Global Warming Conference: Why Didn't They Use Video Conferencing? -
- MogamaThe credibility of the climate-change gods is on the line once again. Changing their verbiage from global warming to climate change cannot conceal whatever they are hiding. Following on the heels of email gate, which reveals that warm-earth activist scientists silenced certain voices that... Submitted 2 years 169 days ago.
Air Quality Permits: It Just Makes Sense. - Jack H. Schick
We have an electrical generator at the sewer plant. It’s huge, big enough to run all the equipment. It’s a very important part of our operations. If we ever lose power to our wastewater pumps, in a very short period of time the collection system will surcharge—the underground... Submitted 206 days 2 hours ago.
Are Space Aliens Threatening Us Because Of Our CO2 Emissions? - Joel Hendon
Although most of their feeble excuses have now been blown to smithereens, those scientists whose big monies depended upon grants for the CO2 research now have a new and more daunting “IF” in their portfolio. Al Gore has nothing new except he angers easier. But an article in the UK... Submitted 277 days 5 hours ago.
Water, Water, Everywhere: California Desert Cadiz Aquifer Project - Jack H. Schick
There is a proposal in the works in California to remove large quantities of underground water from aquifers in the Mojave Desert and sell it to water districts in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties.

We Are A Nation of Throwaways -
- Grace O'MalleyOnce, long ago in a time far, far away, products were built to last. It did not matter what they were. From homes, to vehicles, to furniture, to everyday items, things were made to endure. Where did such days disappear to? And just why did they evaporate into thin air? For many they are only a...

Miss Cunningham said I was a bad debater. She said I got too emotional and excited. So, after those Speech Lessons in 9 th grade, I steered away from that activity. I focused on persuasive and expository writing instead. I could get emotional all I wanted. I could say outlandish things. I just... Submitted 2 years 103 days ago.
A Personal Study into Global Warming - Nancy Daniels
No, this is not a scientific study but a study done from my memories. Memories of living in South Jersey for more than 50 years, albeit a 16-year excursion to London, Ontario and much briefer hiatuses in Washington, DC as well as New York City. Since all the debate over global warming, I have... Submitted 2 years 134 days ago.
Perhaps Global Warming Isn't As Dire As We Think -
- Richard VailIt is possible that the threat of global warming isn't nearly as dire as certain people would have us believe. By stepping back and taking a hard look at the only lasting record of world wide tempuratures we have using ice cores from Antarctica as well as from Greenland, we can develop a picture...

Celebrate America Recycles Day On Nov. 15 - Stephany Springer
America Recycles Day is Nov. 15. I have to admit that this day means more to me this year then it ever has in the past. At my own home this year, we have gotten a new trash service. With that new service came a recycle bin that we can put out each week. I was shocked by the accompanied list at... Submitted 2 years 211 days ago.
Greener Than Thou -
- Missing LinkIn walking around the neighborhood, I don't see much evidence that anyone is particularly concerned about global warming, drought conditions, or living green. I see the same lawns being sprinkled by the same sprinklers in the middle of the day. I see the same wires running all over the place... Submitted 2 years 302 days ago.
McCain's Smokey Speech Clogs the Sacramento Valley - Missing Link
I saw something the other day that made me think the end is near. The exclusive Porsche dealer on Interstate 80 had signs on all its shiny, expensive sports cars that indicated the thriftiness of the cars' miles per gallon. Today reading the newspaper my feeling was only reinforced. John McCain... Submitted 3 years 335 days ago.
Born With a Green Conscience -
- David TanguayWhen it comes to the environment one thing, I can say and this is true. Ever since I was a child, I had a very conscientious attitude when it came to protecting the environment.

How to Increase Your Carbon Footprint on June 12, Carbon Belch Day - Danny Davids
Tired of hearing the constant drone about the disaster that is global warming? Concerned about the proposed "carbon tax" that may be imposed on you for your contribution to the problem?

Bigfoot on Dry Dust – Climate Change and Ecological Damage - Hannah Quinn
The recently released annual report from the Climate Living Index states that Australia has the sixth biggest footprint in terms of fossil fuel use and ecological damage.

Blame Global Warming on Nature--Earth Moving Closer to Sun - Danny Davids
We've heard so much about global warming for so long that most people either accept it as fact or ignore it as hype. Well, Al Gore is right. The Earth is indeed growing warmer. His assumption that the cause is due to mankind's polluting the environment is faulty, however. It turns out that the... Submitted 4 years 55 days ago.
Global Warming is a Left Wing Power Ploy . . . Or is it? -
- Jeff BrownThe sky is falling . . . and it's damn hot too. According to some sources, it's a given. Global warming is real. Just ask Al Gore or watch An Inconvenient Truth .

Lorrie Goldstein is an associate editor at the Toronto Sun.

Just the same, a recent article caught my eye. In an editorial titled... Submitted 5 years 125 days ago.
Energy Conservation - Who Has Practical Ideas? - Jean Horst
This last year has started to turn me green. Not a lot, but a little. For me any amount of green is significant. By green, you may have figured out, I mean the conservation-style green, not the jealousy-style green, or the I’ve-worn-this-copper-ring-too-long green. Up until this point in my life...
