Comment on U.S. Out of Step With Climate Debt Issues by Obama’s Visit to China Culminates in Clean Energy Relations on Many Fronts « Our World and Everything in It

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:38:16 +0000

[...] What peaked my attention in all of this is that the U.S. and China both agreed that whatever happens in Copenhagen the “outcome should also substantially scale up financial assistance to developing countries; promote technology development, dissemination and transfer; pay particular attention to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable to adapt to climate change[].” So the U.S. and China agree with financial assistance to developing countries the subject of a recent blog of mine about Third World countries demanding climate reparations in the form of financial assistance from developed countries. http://www.blogsmonroe.com/world/2009/11/u-s-out-of-step-with-climate-debt-issues/.

Comment on Germany Jump Starts Alternative Energy Push by Rep to Introduce Legislation in MI House to Allow Loans to Citizens by Local Governments for Renewable Energy Devices « Our World and Everything in It

[...] This bill could lead to property owner’s earning a percentage of all excess energy they produce beyond their own needs, as it should be. It’s one heck of an incentive to move forward on renewable energy. Germany has a solar program that is similar. The government offers cash incentives for solar or wind devices. Property owners earn a percentage of what they produce. http://www.blogsmonroe.com/world/2007/10/germany-jump-starts-alternative-energy-push/. [...]

Comment on Poultry Labels Are Misleading; You May Not Eat Any Old Chicken Again. by Ria

Grace, a little dose of modern farming goes a long way toward curbing the appetite a little when it comes to meat doesn’t it? It was a step forward that you tried to find a humanely raised turkey and found out a whole lot more. People like POL34 would rather put the blinders on but once you see what farm animals go through, it sticks with you. Changing the laws is the first step.
Awareness is the next. Pass the word along and thanks. Happy Thanksgiving.

With Thanksgiving coming up fast, I started looking around for humanely raised turkeys to purchase for our dinner. It seems there is an almost total lack of humanity involved in raising any animals in this day and age. The conditions on poultry farms is horrendous. I nearly felt physically ill after checking out some of the on-line info. Hey, Americans, let’s make a New Year’s Resolution to force our legislators to protect animals from misery and maltreatment!

Male, 40, good health, athletic,cyclist, experenced over the summer excruciting lower lumbar pain in the sacral area and after being treating by a Chiropractor, Rolfer, Massage Therapist the pain persisted until I was unable to touch my hands to my knees. M Boone from Ann Arbor Healing Arts treated me in August just before I left on vacation and in two Acupuncture treatments with extensive questioning, testing methodologies and streching he was able to diagnose, treat and make streching suggestions to arrest the chronic pain. My lifestyle restored by the decisions he made by treating me with Acupuncture and his extensive knowledge of sports injury treatment .
Thank you Mark

Comment on Ann Arbor Adds New Hybrid Buses; New York City is Number One in Energy Efficiency by Forbes List of Most/Least Toxic Cities « Our World and Everything in It

Forbes List of Most/Least Toxic Cities « Our World and Everything in It — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:11:39 +0000

[...] But what about cities like New York that made the least toxic list? What are they doing right? Mayor Bloomberg of New York is in a race to be the greenest city in the country. New York already has a head start since most people there use mass transit to get around, not their car. And taxis and buses went hybrid long ago. I did a blog about New York’s “greening” in 2007. http://www.blogsmonroe.com/world/2007/10/ann-arbor-adds-new-hybrid-buses-new-york-city-is-number-one…. [...]
