  • lurkers

    I lurk for the most part but lurkers are learning from regular commenters debate. I comment only when I have a question or a thought I would like to see more debate on. Most of the regular commenters have much more to add to the debate than I however.On Some guy and a camera posted 2 years, 5 months ago 6 Responses

  • Use vs Production

    I thought the carbon footprint on the manufacture and disposal of a car produced more carbon than use through the entire life of said car? Forget where i read that but that was my impresion.

  • How about us

    So what about the poor that want to do something then. I made less the 20k last year and live in an apartment. No second mortgage for me, no solar or geothermal either. Oh I know i could get a job in the green industry but darn they all require knowledge and training I don't have. Hrm I guess the ones that can already afford the training get the good jobs then oh well.On A hearing in the House shows promise posted 2 years, 6 months ago 13 Responses

  • Distribution centers

    Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that when suppliers send bulk shipments to land based stores they go to a distribution center in most cases, where they are sorted and repaletized and shrink wrapped according to where its going. So there is added power/materials that negates the bulk shipping to land based stores. Most of these DC's run 24/7. Ive been to a walmart DC and while amazed at just how many environmental precautions are taken, 1.5 million square feet of machinery and packaging per dc is a pretty big footprint. Just a thought.On Umbra on online shopping posted 2 years, 6 months ago 22 Responses
