I thought that methane is in the natural carbon cycle, thus carbon emissions originating from agriculture aren't as dangerous as carbon emissions from fossil fuels? Either way, the production of meat in some large and commercial farms is horrible, the animals suffer tremendously and are given hormones to hurry up their aging.

I do organic gardening and use materials found in our household as pots: Broken/leaking jugs and teapots, old milk cartons, marmelade jars etc. Buy cheap, waterbased, paint, and go creative. It's cheap and eco-friendly

Uh, k. Anybody want to recommend some eco-friendly bulbs that still burn bright?
I feel like I'm living in the dark here. Metaphorically too 'cause it doesn't make for easy reading.

A little late but...



I think this graph has something to do with it. It's not a graph of cow population, but I'm sure that their numbers grew proportionally to ours.

When it comes to free-range organic meat, it'd majorly reduce the supply and things would get real expensive. Still, I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily.

I just wanted to point out that more moderators have posted in this thread than regular posters. (so how about those green islamicans, eh?)

thought that deserved a mild lol.

First: http://www.islamicaweb.com/forums/fo...loth-bags.html

You can get reusable bags from anywhere. A lot of places give them out for free. If not, they shouldn't cost you more than a dollar each.

Second:
Reusable Water Bottles
How To Choose A Safe Reusable Water Bottle. | The Good Human

I used to use the regular old plastic ones, but recently (few months ago?) got a stainless steel one ('cause of BPA leaching and whatnot).

It's basically this one in silver with the loop lid. And it's not a klean kanteen; I just got it from the university bookstore, so it says my school's name on it instead.

Love it.
I always have to make sure to screw the lid on very tightly though, 'cause one time I didn't and it leaked inside my bag. But that happens with any water bottle if you're not careful.
