  • "if it's there anyway"

    Hi, dave9778
    While I certainly see what you're saying, this is basically a twist on the argument, "Well, the product has already been made and is in the store - I can't help the production impact, so I may as well buy it!"
    If fewer people fly a given route, choosing instead to take alternate transport X, then the regularly scheduled commercial flight will stop being run, or will run less often.On Umbra on driving versus flying posted 1 year, 4 months ago 10 Responses

  • What to do?

    So for we rich, sensitive types - the kind who have enough money to eat beef every meal, but try to be lighter on the land than that... what can we do? Even if I buy nothing but rice, canned beans, lentils, and local vegetables all summer, does that help the 850 million people who are starving?

    Donate to world hunger relief charities? Lobby our congressmen (I haven't even got a lousy column!)? Ah, please won't someone just tell me what to do? :)On As corn and soy fields drown in rainwater, the food crisis deepens posted 1 year, 5 months ago 19 Responses
