  human nature

  I totally agree with you, but I think it helps people to be able to connect environmental preservation with their own lives and actions. I think that personal carbon monitoring and offsets helps people to make that connection.On Can't we offset something other than carbon? posted 2 years, 4 months ago 9 Responses

  where to start..?

  As for corn (etc) having feelings, I agree that there is probably more going on with plants than we have been able to detect. There have been a number of different studies that have shown that plants might have some kind of sentience. However, unfortunately for the plants, it is much more sustainable to eat a diet that is more heavily concentrated in plants. Because unlike your hamburger that consumes plants (and usually scary things like steroids) and is shipped halfway across the country and is processed, and packaged, etc etc. plants (esp locally grown ones) require a lot less energy use.

  And people, esp. Americans, tend to consume too much meat and in general use too much energy.

  But on a sidenote, I am extremely in support of PETA's campaign (which is rare). I LOVE that they are making vegetarianism sexy. That is the way to really change our culture.On PETA announces sexiest veggie celebs of 2007 posted 2 years, 4 months ago 11 Responses
