Namaste Muslimwoman,
thank you for the post.
it seems that you are, strangely, equating the substances that they used with a more enlightened view of the enviornment.. which seems to be an odd position to take given the evidence we have of most people casual disregard for the enviornment.
you are deliberately equivocating my comments "sludge run off, run off from smelting and human wastes" as "rotting cabbage". clearly, biodegradeable materials pose less of an effect to the enviornment than non-biodegradeable materials.
that article says the Kyoto Protocol is based on bad science.
are you certain that you would consider this a valid source if i used it to demonstrate how the Kyoto Protocol is wrong?
from that same source:
The Heat Is Online
it states that China has surpassed the United States as the leading producer of carbon gas which is contrary to your claim that the United States is.
then i'm failing to appreciate the continual need to state these things. if ones own actions do not impact the message there is no need to continually state the faults of the messenger unless one is intending to impunge the message by implication.
you suggested to Cyber pi that you could tell him many things about countries, to which he replied that he was sure you could tell him many things about countries that you have no been to. you countered that you could read.
i'm asking you, directly, if reading is a substitute for direct experience. no more, no less.
metta,

thank you for the post.
Muslimwoman said:No it wasn't but there were no polymers, heavens there wasn't even glass for the longest time. I hardly think some rotting cabbage leaves had the same effect. Leather was not tanned in chemicals, chemical plants did not spew out green goo into the oceans, clothes were dyed in natural dyes. Life has moved on and all I am suggesting is that with every advancement we (humans) have progressively caused more harm to our environment. Just look at oil, it isn't even 150 years since we first drilled for oil, how many oil spills into our oceans have there been since?

Thank you for the link, very intersting and I am delighted people are trying to do something. A worrying link though which suggests it is all in vain:

Not at all, I smoke and always tell children not to. However, I know my message would have more effect if I wasn't smoking at the time I tell others not to.

We were discussing statistics from countries we have never seen.
