Comment on Climate Change is Hot News by mcrane

I think that it is really interesting how much buzz climate change and global warming has generated. I did a blog about global warming and how many Americans do not believe that it is a real threat, which you mentioned in your post. But, I have definatley noticed that global warming has been appearing in the news more lately, in major fashion magazines, and greeting cards. I was at Walgreens a few days ago trying to pick out a birthday card and I was looking at all of the different cards in the isle. I found one card that said on the outside something like “You are so cool” and on the inside it said “If everyone was as cool as you, global warming would not be an issue.” I didn’t buy it, but I thought that it was really interesting to find a greeting card about global warming.

Comment on Aveda–Making A Difference by Camille

I use aveda shampoo, conditioner, curl cream, and make-up remover and I never even knew this! I know my mom uses their make up because its organic or something like that, but now I feel pretty good about myself. I just went to the website, (http://www.aveda.com/customerservice/ourmission.tmpl) and they have a page devoted to their environmental sustanability policy. Their president said, “Aveda believes in conducting business in a manner that protects the Earth, conserves resources and does not compromise the ability of future generations to sustain themselves.”

Mary Alice- I was in london too over break (of course, we saw eachother!) and I noticed the same thing as well. It seems that everywhere we went I saw something related to helping out the environment. I saw hundreds of those tiny hybrid cars, signs in the tube stations related to how you can cut down on energy, shower caps in our hotel rooms that said “environmentally friendly material,” and of course London has that new law that you have a pay a fee to drive into the city. I guess I was shocked at the awareness of the issue and that it was plastered everywhere. HEre in America, it just seems like we have one group of environmentalists fighting for public awareness, but no one cares because no one wants to change their lifestyle.

Wow, this post was an eye- opene. I never would’ve thought that people’s craving for sugar would result in so much environmental destruction. Although it seems that the real destruction is coming from the plants themselves but the way that humans grow and refine the sugar. I hope that growers find an alternative way to grow the sugar without it having such a big effect on the environment.

In my opinion, it doesnt really seem like it is the sugar that is the problem. It seems like what humans are doing. We are the ones wanting to make sugar plantations, using chemicals on the land, and creating the waste from the way we produce the sugar. I never thought that sugar growing would have an effect on biodiversity, but it made a lot of sense when I actually thought about it.

wow, this is really interesting. Whenever I hear of sugar I think of cookies or cake, i do not think about how it is bad for the environment. I was shocked when you said that sugar was responsible for the loss of biodiversity more than any other plant. We have certainly talked about biodiversity many times in class and we know how important it is. I hope that the project in the Florida Everglades is successful in restoring the everglades, and that more movements are made to reduce the amount of sugar released into the atmosphere and the its harmful effects.

I very much agree with Mary’s point of view. I do not think that liquid coal will solve our fuel problems, but will instead elongate it. Instead of developing this new form of fuel (liquid coal), why not put the money and effort into developing more environmentally friendly fuel options? To me, liquid coal is not the solution for our fuel shortage and carbon emissions, it is merely a substitution.
