Replying to: gagrice (Dec 01, 2008 7:58 pm) And a self-deluding scheme at that. Why? Because the conference and the planting-of-trees are independent events. While they may cancel each other out; the option exists to have a net decrease! simply plant-trees and have no conference. So the conference is still doing harm, as it does not allow a decrease to occur! Meanwhile some people in Brazil or Indonesia are cutting the rainforests to make furniture or flooring. And myself and others will be cutting trees for firewood, if there are taxes put on heating fuel or electricity. People are already doing so with the costs and shape of the economy. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/2008-12-01-firewood_N.htm

Replying to: kernick (Dec 02, 2008 6:38 am) Weyerhaeuser has been reforesting Brazil for many years. I just installed 1300 feet of Lyptus Wood from Brazil. It grows to commercial size in 15 years. It is harder than hard rock maple or Brazilian Cherry. It was used as cutting boards to start with. Now you can get it for furniture, cabinets and flooring. Beautiful stuff and eco friendly. http://www.lyptus.com/

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 02, 2008 8:05 am) The fabric supposedly isn't very durable but the trim in the X5 should be fine. |

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 01, 2008 7:58 pm) So I can let my lawn grow and cancel out a couple of SUVs. Great idea. "...The Mango trees...all died..." That is so typical of the earth worshipers. They understand nothing about nature. I wouldn't put it past them to plant palm trees in Alaska so the polar bears have some shade. |
