  Yeah, I agree the problems associated with flushing cat litter need to be better publicized.  For awhile I flushed the cat litter, thinking it was better because I was keeping it out of the landfill and it was getting treated in the sewage system, just like my waste.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

  I apologize if this is included in the book, but I'm wondering how this idea fits in with population dense areas, near areas of mass transit.  I imagine you can't grow enough grain for your family in a small backyard plot.

  "It doesn't have to be mandatory, yet. "  is exactly the sort of phrasing that scares me when the discussion of limiting family sizes comes up.  As Loraz said, it's one thing to educate people and to have them think about their choices.  It's an entirely different matter to insist upon it.  All life, including human life, is valuable, and forcing people to end a life based on what may happen in the future is over the top.  Nevermind the fact that this kind of sentiment could turn people away from the environmental cause, even some who are sympathetic.

  That's all well and good, but how will that help the miners feed their kids?  I understand the problems, and I am completely against mountaintop removal mining.  But I can understand their perspective.  It's the only thing they know how to do.  Every policy has winners and losers.  I'm just not sure what the best way to compensate the losers is, if there even is one.

  This would work, if a linear relationship is assumed.  However, I don't believe anyone claims a direct linear relationship.  There are many factors in climate change that all must be part of the equation.
