		<description>The article was helpful in that I speak to children about solid waste management and what choices they can make to impact the waste stream into the local landfill. I do tell them that sometimes there is a dilemma attached to recycling. For example, my local garden center sells individual plants in recyclabel pots - #5 - which my hauler will take. I called to make sure. The garden center also will accept the pots back for re-use. I know if I put the pots in the recycyle bin, they will be part of that remanufacture process, but if I give them a second life back at the garden center (re-use) I don&#039;t know what will happen to them. I give this example along with other examples so that the students know there is not just one answer to the question of &quot;what do I do with this now?&quot; Also, I try to tell them that sometimes there is expense involved in getting the re-usable/recyclable material to the place where it will be treated in the &quot;greenest&quot; way. People who are committed to the low environmental impact have to be willing - in my opinion - to go to some expense or effort or both. It is paying it forward, so to speak. In my community, many individuals cannot get past the &quot;it&#039;s complicated&quot; or it&#039;s going to cost me&quot; excuses and so they do nothing.  This is so frustrating.</description>

		<description>Hey! Do you want to know what else is good for the environment? If every tobacco smokers has mutually &amp; unmutually suddenly and completely stop smoking altogether forever and ever. Yeah right. As if any good luck comes of it, or it may happen in the next millennium or whenever, or how about never that seems even a better deal. They are too busy going on &amp; revisiting use of an addiction in euphoria ego trip(s). Loves to be eternally tempted by the product that produces promising effects. Claims made that they have more freedom of civil rights (than the non-smokers do) (only they don&#039;t think like that, I just put that in for expressed emphasis on my part). The smokers wants the non-smokers to back-down &amp; let them be; stop fussing, complaining, whining, &amp; hating for their right giving bad habits; and tobacco smoking is a common known world-wide privilege that they practice &amp; exercise very often. And as long as the tobacco industries keeps manufactures it and the FDA still approves it and the tobacco products are still sold in markets and many tobacco consumers continues buying it, this demand &amp; supply chain will always be a never-ending ongoing, growing process. I hear that chewing tobacco is also making a comeback again with teens and younger children as the main consumers. FDA doesn&#039;t approve &quot;electric tobacco or e-tobacco products&quot; because it&#039;s made of all clear liquid nicotine in a small vile. It&#039;s a very potent &amp; concentrating content than any regular tobaccos (which contains many different unwanted ingredients) for producing the most ultimate promising effect. Some consumers believe that its &quot;safe&quot; smoking. There is not very many States that allow it and very limited stores that carries those products for it is consider illegal to sell it, hard to find (maybe online or by word of mouth), and have to travel far to obtain it once found its location whereabouts &amp; bring carded ID(s) too. It is expensive to purchase those products. 

Any regular tobacco smokings, e-tobaccos, &amp; chewing tobaccos are consider very ultimately gross, disgusting, hideous, obnoxious, bad &amp; ugly addictive habits. It badly pollutes the air and promotes bad health. It makes the natural clean air goes bad, stale &amp; stagnant, smoggy, intoxicates &amp; permeates pollutant chemicals into the atmosphere, and causes disruptive changes of the natural balance in the ozone layers. Factually, vehicles &amp; factories also contributes to this same world-wide cause. There are some people out there who wants to make the world a difference by finding ways to save our planet and lending Mother Nature a helping hand. There are the clean air act, the clean water act, the recycling facilities, the eco-friendly environment program, green earth day, the wildlife extinction &amp; reservation protection, and etc. All are wonderful support groups and almost everyone wants to pitch in to help in one way or the other. But, I believe that nothing is being done to address &amp; enforce about the tobacco smoking problems. It too causes bad air pollution that totals the very staggering highest level percentage rate than all vehicles &amp; factories put together. Tobacco products should be treated like drugs &amp; alcohol. It should be ban, be made illegal, and be consider a health hazard too. 

Did you know that the tobacco smokers control the very clean air you breathe &amp; your health. They cover up the good clean air with bad, stale, stagnant, pollutant smog in every puff they take. There are millions to billions of tobacco smokers that outnumbers the rest of the people populations. Non-smokers has somehow lost their rights to breathe clean air normally without breathing the inclusive intoxicating chemical smogs. We as people share the same air we breathe but yet, the government allows the fortunate ill-will smokers granted permission to devastate, dominate, &amp; consume the earth&#039;s atmosphere with a very thick blanket of smog for all the poor unfortunate non-smokers to suffer, suffocate, befall serious illnesses, and possibly death. I guess this is one of their supposed answers to controlling &amp; eliminating some of the growing people populations. That means that they are also included in this predetermined tragic ordeal. 

When tobacco smokers smoke their products the smoke permeates, disperses, &amp; adheres to everywhere surfaces (furnitures, appliances, wall-hanging pictures, glass, etc.) it gets in contact with. There is an enormous buildup of some sticky yucky residue or grimy tacky gunk that settles onto any surfaces left undone due to overtime exposure. It is so very very hard to wash out that nasty horrible stuff off to make &amp; feel like almost new again. Your clothes, your hair, your breath, your skin, and other cloth materials will reek with tobacco smoke. No matter how hard you try to deodorize, sanitize, disinfect, &amp; fumigate with the pretty fragrances of perfumes/colognes, detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, shampoos/hairsprays, toothpastes/mouth rinses/breath lozenges/gums, room air freshener sprays, fragrant soaps/deodorants, or even aromatic burning incenses to mask/cover-up the nasty dingy stench of tobacco smoke. The tobacco smoke will always completely overpower the most prettiest fragrances there is on the market. The pretty fragrances is a temporary linger but tobacco smoke will permanently outlasts anything in the air &amp; everything it touches. 

2nd &amp; 3rd hand-smoke (indirect &amp; passive smoke) will affect the health of infants, toddlers, other young children, any school age children, and adults &amp; senior citizens who are non-smokers. All non-smokers are vulnerable to &amp; the health is intolerable to the high-risk of getting any type of serious illnesses and/or death caused by the 1st hand-smokers (direct, deliberate, ignorant, inconsiderate, lazy &amp; stubborn, and irresponsible smokers). The smokers seemed to be somewhat immune &amp; endure from it but, maybe they had time to get used to it or grew accustomed to it. Otherwise, tobacco smoking is bad for everyone&#039;s health and for this planet we make our home in.</description>

		<description>I think that a little scientific perspective is always needed in proofing the copy.  The earth is a system. If you are talking about global warming - okay the forest away from the belt holds heat, but does it really do harm?

Think about it, it happens for a reason that the overall effect begins to trend the other way as you move away from the &quot;belt&quot;.   Trees are important to plant - we cannot plant enough.  We just can&#039;t.  True forests take so much time to develop and run their course that we can&#039;t possibly know what does harm and what doesn&#039;t.

It is not bad or good it just has an inverse effect, in so much as can be discerned.  The open-minded (enlightened) view is that this warming is the effect - an appropriate response may be to ask, &quot;Why?&quot;

Also, what about planting trees in the appropriate place to reduce runoff pollution.  Wait a minute, this is just a web article.  In and out.

Now I may not be a &quot;good&quot; writer, don&#039;t get paid, but I am a great reader.  And these points have a tendency not to assist the reader in effective analysis, but more like  a+b = a&amp;b, not a+b=a+b, scientifically there is a big difference.

Not a pontification, just a thought.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to point out that pesticides are not the only reason you should choose organic.  I try to support sustainable farming practices whenever I can.  Not just to avoid pesticides.  Also, certified organic produce does not contain GMOs and I try to avoid them whenever possible.  I&#039;ve read that corn and soy should always be organic because there is so much geneticly modified corn and soy.  So I think corn should be on the organic list.  The trick I have found to buying organic produce is to go to a health food store for produce instead of trying to buy organic from my local chain grocery store.  They have a faster turnover of their merchandise.  My experience has been that organic has the most flavor and tastes the best.</description>

		<description>Great tips. Going green is more confusing than ever these days. I really appreciate the list of foods to pass on buying organic, I didn&#039;t know that not all organic is better. But I always support my local farmers at their markets!</description>

		<description>Great article and great comments.  Thanks for sharing.  We need information like this to share so we can help make a difference.   Kudos!
Ralph - the numbers you provided were scarey.  Where do people think all this stuff goes?  Most can&#039;t think outside of their own home, let alone city, country or nation wide. 
We have to inspire the changes.</description>
