  Farmer's markets

  Shopping at farmer's markets and eating "organic" are fine for those that participate but do not provide much of a benefit for the environment or the public at large.

  By their very nature, such food sources can provide only a miniscule portion of the food that the public consumes, particularly in densely populated areas. Also,farmer's market food is only available at limited times of the year.  

  Therefore to present such food sources as a solution for anything is a hoax.

  In addition, as one with a chemical education; I wonder if foods that are not "organic", are instead 'inorganic'. On Umbra on community-supported agriculture posted 2 years, 2 months ago 9 Responses

  Reuse of waste water effluent

  This is not a new idea.

  It was my understanding back in the 1950's that the Bethleham Steel plant in Baltimore County MD used the cleaned effluent from the Baltimore sewage treatment plant to cool their rolling mill. As the effluent was cleaner than bay water, it provided a win-win situation. On Cool Runnings posted 2 years, 2 months ago 2 Responses
