  We have to use what we have.

  Carbon-neutral is another one of those phrases we wear on our lapels that mean nothing.
  But, the only way to overcome the corporations in America, or any business I guess, in the battle of carbon waste, is to allow the "carbon-neutral" label to be bought, and allow them have a face for the blaring idiot consumers.
  The only universal language in this country is money. If, in the meantime, we make it harder and more expensive for businesses to balance through buying offsets, they will voluntarily reduce carbon emissions.
  The American businessman is short-sighted and over focused on the green seductress(money). If we can make these offsets a commodity the easiest and cheapest and quickest way to copout and not pay them is to reduce emissions.
  Of course, this will only work if our legislators continue to work and our critics dont give up, rather than treat carbon offsets and a problem solved and walk away.
  Although its not an answer, it is a step to lead us there. Rather than treating carbon offsets as useless copouts, we should treat them as tools for the cause of human longevity.

  and the sun goeth down

  the beautiful thing about this capitalist economy is that we can save ourselves by making the right choices marketable. And consumers are allowed the choice.
  Here we have those consumer choices taken away. What if it has nothing to do with health reasons and certain people just dont want food from cows raised on hormones? Its just like with vegetarians. Some people will firmly and passionately argue that you need meat to live, and I've dealt with it all of my life. So we disallow people the right to be vegetarians because they are uneducated and think its healthier?
  Why is the government protecting such a disgusting industry. God, it just makes it so much harder for people who are actually trying to save this world and hope their potential grandchildren will get to live their lives before this world implodes.

  it is true, the only way we are going to win this war against ignorance and greed is to make green choices marketable.

  This here is a step in the completely wrong direction.On Pennsylvania bans hormone- and antibiotic-free labels on dairy products posted 2 years ago 21 Responses

  Who really certifies it?

  I am a smoker and I don't plan on quitting. I roll my own cigarettes with American Spirit organic rolling tobacco that, as of late, comes in recyclable packages made from recycled paper and the  rolling papers are '100% flax, chlorine free, "natural gum" '. Also as of 2006, their headquarters  uses 100% green energy. But what is this "Quality Certifications Services" that certifies them? And how can I hold them accountable for any of their claims?On Umbra on green reasons to quit smoking posted 2 years, 1 month ago 1 Response
