Carbon Footprint

Carbon Footprint

Archive for March 24th, 2010

While I was on holidays camping, hiking, kayaking with my family, I saw alot of garbage on trails, walks, and the beach. I find it ironic that so many of us can enjoy the wonders of nature, like the grand canyon or beautiful lakes and mountains, yet not recycle, use disposable diapers, or worse pollute these areas with our garbage. I found that on each trip, my family ‘packed out’ more than we packed in, cause we were cleaning other peoples mess. So, what have you done over the summer to help the environment, or the natural wonder you visited?

Recently I talked to my friend about this, he said that a lot of the private school kids who go to Ivy League schools would not be going there had they not been growing up in rich neighborhoods, going to rich schools and having rich parents.

Do you guys think that environment plays a role when determining social success?

ALSO

Do you guys think that academic excellence in high school determines success in life?
I know the answer but I really want opinions.

The girls who do the Greenpeace blogs (£30k pa - who knew!) aren’t shy about mentioning all the far-flung places they’ve visited while on the Greenpeace dime so presumably they reckon their save-the-planet globe-trotting is beyond reproach. It probably is, but I’d love some numbers. Can anyone help? What, for example, would be the GHG emissions resulting from a Greenpeace activist flying from London to join the Rainbow Warrior in Indonesia and staying aboard to save the planet as the ship chunters around the archipelago for a month or so?

More and more research points to destruction of our environment from body care products. Who should be financially responsible for cleaning it up? Companies who make them, consumers who use them, or all of us through taxation for government clean-up?

Published July 11, 2007:
Chemicals found in household products like antibacterial soap and plastic bottles are found in sewage water that is discharged into San Francisco Bay, posing a threat to wildlife and humans, according to new data….The inspectors found three types of chemicals — phthalates, bisphenol A and triclosan. All are suspected of interfering with hormone systems of humans and wildlife…"We’re involved because we know that these compounds are out there, and we cannot treat them in the wastewater stream," said Charles Hardy, EBMUD spokesman.

Evolutionary biologists believe that dinosaurs and other animals of distant prehistory were able to grow so large due to the high oxygen content of the atmosphere back then, so, would a human child raised in an oxygen-rich environment grow larger and develop faster than it’s counterpart in a normal environment.
