He is a (retired, I believe) scientist with a tremendous amount of knowledge on AGW as well as a mostly positive, let's do something, kind of attitude. He also tends to clearly lay the problems out in a way that is helpful to me. I consider this a must-read http://initforthegold.blogspot.com/2011/01/post-growth-progress.htmlNick Dearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127455354525847577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256133247455285688.post-46962565037785522252011-01-23T14:17:28.600-08:002011-01-23T14:17:28.600-08:00nope no embedding, and the link doesn't show a...nope no embedding, and the link doesn't show as a link.. grrr.. well, we all know how to copy and paste!

I'm definitely one of those "blue bucket" heroes in the office. <br /><br />Having lived in Asia, we are aware of the way many countries dispose of things. We complain about air quality around factories, but that seems like small potatoes when you watch people burn waste that could have been composted, or reused, or refused, or...<br /><br />Disposability is at the heart of just about every convenience.<br /><br />Excellent talk!Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486527080366674296noreply@blogger.com
