What's the most environmentally-friendly way to get rid of food scraps?
January 25, 2010 - 10:23 pm
We live in a foresty neighborhood where there are lots of critters running around: chipmunks, squirrels, mice, opossum, raccoons, foxes… My roommate says it’s a bad idea to throw food scraps out into the bushes because a) it’s bad to feed the animals and b) it’ll attract rodents to our house and make them more likely to try to get inside. I feel so wasteful just throwing scraps in the trash. And we rent so we wouldn’t be able to start a full-fledged compost pile. Ideas?
Composting is a great idea, and doable.
There are many different types of compost bins.
Even if you rent, your landlord would probably allow you the space to have a small barrell style composter.
In fact some metropolitan areas have programs where you can get composters from the city.

Do you think it is possible humans can live in an environmentally friendly, modern world?
January 6, 2010 - 8:33 am
I found it hard to word this question. But do you think it is possible for humans to live in a technological world, like today, without the mass destructions of forests, loss of wildlife, world pollution etc. ? Do you think humans will ever live in such a world?
In a hundred years, there will be fewer than one billion people, and probably more like 400 million. Do you notice the cost of fossil fuels is going up? Do you see how the prices for everything else is rising? That’s because it takes petroleum to make them and to distribute them to the market.
The rate of world production of oil has peaked and is on an artificial plateau. That is, the drop-off would be greater by now, except that the Arabs have started pumping seawater under the last of the oil in their fields to raise the pressure and make the extraction faster. However, pumping sea water doesn’t add any more oil to the field than was there to start with, and, when the end comes, it will be sudden.
That’s when you can expect a Great Depression, plus the worst energy crisis in human memory, to slam into humanity at the same time. Food will be difficult to grow because of a shortage of artificial fertilizer, a shortage of pesticides, and a shortage of fuel for tractors and harvesters. It will be difficult to distribute because of a shortage of fuel for trucks. The companies that do these things now won’t be able to stay in business. The government won’t be able to bail them out because of its own economic troubles.
Then there’s global warming. The formerly American, now Mexico-occupied, southwest states of So-Cal, Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas are doomed to endure a drought for most of the rest of the 21st century. That means the Mestizos there will be on the march to points further north and east, pushing us out of yet more American territory. Unless we defeat them somehow, while expecting no help from a government that hasn’t offered any significant help yet in that matter.
The cities will burn. They’re filled with people who are accustomed to a parasitical way of life, living at the expense of working people through welfare checks. Experience has taught those people that they can make our politicians give them even more of our money if they riot, killing people and destroying property. But soon the politicians won’t be able to buy them off any more, so the rioters will tear down the whole city. They’ll invade neighborhoods that were always "safe" before and kill everybody in their own homes. Then they’ll move outward into the suburbs and do the same things.
There’s going to be a lot of killing and destruction soon. But it will last only ten or twenty years all together (with maybe some lulls between the hell times). After the population correction has run its course, the remaining people might find ways to live in an environmentally friendly fashion with what remains of the Earth.
My husband and I are looking for a vegetarian, environmentally friendly, warm place to live. Any ideas?
January 5, 2010 - 11:07 am
We have lived in Atlanta and currently live in Baltimore. We are leaning towards the west somewhere, maybe Austin, San Diego, Arizona?
A second vote for the San Francisco Bay Area. Though it is expensive here, you get what you pay for: a warm (usually!) place with lots of veggie restaurants.

Which country is the most healthiest to live in in terms of being environmentally friendly?
December 28, 2009 - 7:47 pm
I am considering moving to a different country, however i want to live somewhere that is environmentally friendly and in a country that uses renewable energy resources, i want a healthy lifestyle also.
Well if you mean environment friendly just by the objects of nature, I understand Swiss is the best place to live. Great mountains, fresh air, lakes,rivers, jungles and on the top you will have great sources of communication system which in most of the case is environment friendly. Being a welfare state you have other benefits as well… so I will recommend you Switzerland.
