Re: What is Aromatherapy?

I see you getting a lot of memory trigger responses to this article. It's a fascinating subject. I have an aversion to the smell of Diesel and Lever 2000 soap (long story) and love the smell of saw dust and pine needles.

I'm going to look into the essential oils you wrote about.

Great article Derek.

Good list. Great Article. Thanks for posting it. Part of the problem is that people in Western Civilization dont realize (or dont care) that the things they do, impact people all over the world.

Thanks,
Adam
Stumbled it too.

This was a refreshing post.

It's easy to get caught up in the movement, when the movement becomes who you are instead of what you do.

I'm a writer for a couple of green websites and when you get to the point where you know how much bauxite is in an aluminum can and how the growth of India and china is influencing the prices of aluminum, recycling your water bottle seems trivial and not using a reusable bag in the store seems downright criminal.

Thanks for the reality check.

Re: Diggers vs Stumbleuponers Traffic

Adam — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:11:37 -0000

In my experiance, I get more traffic from stumble, but it's not sticky. I also get less comments from stumblers.

I was a stumbler long before I started a website and I know from my own habits that if I'm stumbling, its because I'm bored. If the site doesn't immediately peak my interest, I'm on to the next one. Digg however seems more community based and people who go to you're site based on recommendations from friends in their friends list, seem more invested.

Re: Internet marketing experiment update!

Thank you for pointing out what the "follow" vs. "do not follow" is really all about.
I've only been doing this for about six months, and I'm learning everyday that I have a lot left to learn.
My specialty is the Environment, but I'm learning more about blogging than I ever knew possible. Thanks for the great article.

So we all know that it takes about four twelve ounce bottles of water to make the plastic for one bottle of water. Ergo, the cost of a bottle of water is more for the plastic, transportation and marketing than it is for the water. The bottle full of water costs 4,000 times more than the water itself.

But the problem is, you're average Joe doesnt know this stuff.

This is where you have the advantage (by using recycled bottles) You're already conserving 4 bottles of water. If you do figure out a way to ship dry ingredients, you will be conserving 5 bottles of water. (60 ounces)

If you could work that into an add campaign, I think people would be all over it!

Twilight Earth will be there on March 2nd, telling Big Coal and the DC Gov. that the symbolic power plant of the lobbyists, has got to go. We cant talk about renewable energy, and this congressional "sweetheart" powering our nations capitol.

Keep up the good fight and alter the eco!

Re: NOOO! Honda Fit Hybrid Not Coming to United States

Adam — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:21:06 -0000

My wife and I just bought a Honda Fit and we love it. She just uses it as a Commuter Car, going 50 miles round trip to work and back each day. Were getting between 35 and 40 M.P.G. and the cargo area has more space than our P.T. Cruiser!

I love this car!

Re: Meat-eating Warrants Same Scrutiny as Driving and Flying

Not to mention the amount of corn that is fed to cows to get them fatter earlier. Corn is not a natural diet for cows and it makes them sick, hence the antibiotics.

I don't know the exact figures but I've heard it takes an average of 15 lbs of corn and 30 lbs of grain to produce one lb of hamburger. The same 45 lbs of food that the cow is eating, would of course feed a lot of people.
