World Environment Day: Do The Opposite

IT’S World Environment Day. Here’’s some to dos for the environment:

• Screw Organics - Conventionally raised beef steers emit less polluting methane gas than steers raised organically. (more here…)
• Go Nuclear - Per kilowatt-hour, a nuclear power plant emits 6 percent as much carbon as a plant fired by natural gas. (more here…)
• Live Urban - Cities are more energy-efficient than suburbs, exurbs, or rural communities.
• Crank the aircon - Cooling a home in Arizona produces 93 percent fewer CO2 emissions than warming a house in New England.
• Farm the Forests - Old trees are very bad for the planet.
• China is the Solution - Not the problem.
• Accept GM - Food production need to be optimised.
• Carbon Trading Doesn’t Work - It’s the environmental version of sub-prime lending
• Don’t switch to a Hybrid Car - stick with your old one or buy 2nd hand.
