  • Oyin Handmade is my choice

    I discovered Oyin Handmade looking for a natural deodorant that really works.  I can say that their Funk Butter is the first that really keeps me from getting stinking even after two days.  Thank you Oyin!  Their Honey Sticks, honey smelling lip balm, are great products also.  I think their ingredients are pretty natural.  Still satisfied after more than a year.On A review of natural and organic lip balms posted 10 months, 3 weeks ago 17 Responses

  • US Still in the Lead on a per capita basis

    It is easy to focus on the GHG emissions growth of the country of China, which is critical to address if we are going to address global warming.  But it is important to keep in mind that on a per capita basis, or per person, US citizens produce significantly more global warming gases than people in China.  We have to take the lead in coming up with solutions to reduce GHG emissions, and we must adjust our own lives if we are going to expect developing nations to limit their impact.  If we don't adjust our lifestyles, they will continue to want what we have - more, bigger cars, more TVs, air conditioners, etc.On China's carbon emissions highest in the world last year, study says posted 1 year, 5 months ago 7 Responses

  • Quebec's Carbon Tax won't change behavior

    The idea is right, but the implementation is a long way from what is needed.  This "tax" may generate some money to help Quebec create programs to affect climate change, but won't provide enough incentive for people to change their behavior.  Do they really think that a tax of less than a cent per liter of gasoline, will mean that people drive less?On Quebec introduces carbon tax posted 2 years, 2 months ago 2 Responses
