if you went hiking on a boat, and the nearest town was 90 miles away. you had your family with you and one lighter to make a fire. the boat collapsed, everybody is fine, but y'all have no food , and are not expected back till 1 week later. you've been there for 2 days.
if the father left his family behind to get help to the nearest town. but the family he leaves behind, and there are grizzlies and black bears and wolves and snakes and other dangerous animals in the forest. there might have even been rumours that a couple of murderers were living in that forest.
but anyways, the father went to look for that Twin on his own leaving the family behind.
in his path, there is a raging river he needs to cross, but he knows he won't make it, cause he's already starving, weak, and out of energy, and the currents are too fast.
he stays by the river for day 3, and rest. he then sees that airplanes be traveling up this way along the river. there are a lot of trees, and he has no open land to make a fire. if he makes a fire, and half the forest got burned down, would he still be punished, or what? would protesters still protest?
I'm sure that there would be controversy about it, but it would still definitely be illegal. If he was going to start a fire, it had to be one he could control. And I agree with the person who answered first, couldn't he have climbed a tree or something?
it would be illegal cuz they could have just cut down a tree or climbed up and gotten firewood for a smaller but still good fire.
I don't agree with boofy150. If the planes were flying by, it would take a longer time to go up a tree and get wood and then make a fire.

What are some things that are made of Solar cells?
Whoever can list the most items that use solar cells to operate gets the points. Hint: anything that is solar powered uses solar cells
Silicon wafer based solar cells
Metamorphic Multijunction Solar Cell
Polymer processing
Nanoparticle processing
Transparent conductors
Silicon wafer based solar cells
Infrared solar cells
UV Solar cells
3-D solar cells
Antireflective and all-angle coating

Which kind of packaging is best ?
When comparing food packaged in cans, glass jars, or plastic jars.
Which uses the least resources... is less harmful... and is easier to recycle ?
From what I have read, the best for recycling is glass jars. The glass industry knows that recycling glass jars to make new glass uses 30% less energy than starting from scratch, so they use as much recycled glass as possible, and glass bottles and jars are the best source. Glass from windows and other sources has impurities (coatings,etc) that make it less easily recycled.
Plastic jars give off some pollution when recycled, so they are the least eco-friendly of your list. Cans can be and are recycled but some have interior coatings that are not good for recycling. Use glass containers whenever possible.
Best is not using packaged foods. Fresh is the place to be.
There%26#039;s really too many environmental inputs to answer this question in cold hard facts.
Glass is the best in terms of how it%26#039;s manufactured and recycled, but because it%26#039;s heavier it uses more fuel to transport. Not all types of glass can be recycled (mostly ones that contain metallic elements) so you%26#039;d need to specify the type of glass. Where the package is manufactured and recycled also plays in to the fuel miles portion of the equation.
Plastics contain a lot of chemicals and give off more pollution in the recycling process. Again, not all can be recycled effectively, so check the package, look for the triangle, and study up on what numbers your recycling center accepts.
Metals require resource extraction and a lot of machinery, fuel, transportation, and local degradation is involved. In many places, metals are also smelted with charcoal, which means lots of wood. In others the factories use fossil fuels.
At the end of the day I use glass where I can because it%26#039;s more durable and I can re-use it safely 1000%26#039;s of times before it hits the recycling bin.
Actually from what i%26#039;ve heard there is a kind of plastic, made from corn, that uses less overall energy than other kinds of container. However this is not widely used so make sure.
i have heard that there is no limit to how many times a peice of metal can be recycled, so probably metel cans. of course, the best packaging in no packaging.
I prefer to buy my fresh veal chops when they are wrapped in whale blubber.

Paper suppliers in an increasingly paperless world?
Everyone is always worried about paper suppliers... what about ball point pen manufacturers?! Are you worried about them!? Electronic signatures FTL!
but what would happen to Dunder Miflin of "The Office"
The trees used to make paper are farmed, its not like they are cutting down old growth 1000 yr old oaks and such to make paper. Paper comes from tree farms- trees are cut and then replanted.
don't worry,we will be providede with that as well..

Why doesn
Latest news is that Russia will be building a military force to secure it's Arctic 'assets', most of the Arctic is in dispute with many countries but Russia is adamant it's theirs.
So why are they doing this? if Russia concentrated on green energy production they wouldn't need so much oil and wouldn't need an oil export economy.
Russia is huge, the potential for building land based wind turbines, geothermal power and hydroelectric power is almost unmatched.
What's the problem with them?
Don't they realise as the world changes to greener energy production nobody's going to want their oil any more?
They need to wake up and smell the coffee. They can keep their damn oil, they're the only one's who are going to need it.
Because for them oil is power (in the domination sense). Russia is a major supplier of natural gas and other oil products to much of Europe. When they want to flex their muscle they turn off the heating gas in the middle of winter and half of Europe freezes. This is not directly about fuel, but about power (domination).
At the same time, securing oil in the North doesn't exclude them from developing their green energy. So you're right, it probably is something they should do.
Why should they leave it for someone else to claim? Oil is where the money is at. Russia have the right idea. You can stick your "Green" up your a.s.s hippie
you will need the oil too. You can not live oil free. what's the replacement for catheters that keep you alive when you have a heart attack?
because they are not stupid
I agree with the answer that we'll never live oil free. Even back in the good old days when we lived in log cabins, and farmed the land, we used oil to lubricate things like wheels, quench iron to make tools, and oil lamps were normal (I know it was whale oil, but we can't go back to that, not enough whales left), etc. Sure we can cut back, but we'll always need some oil, and the alternates don't quite fill every need. A similar analogy is: even if we used no nuclear power, or nuclear weapons, we'd still need some radioactive materials for medical uses, testing, x-rays, etc.
So, if it doesn't cost them much to secure the supplies, then why wouldn't they do it?
And you assume that everyone else will "go green" just like you want us to. It's taken decades to convince the american people that alternative energy sources are a good idea, and it took $4/gallon gasoline to do that.

Hello from France ; Earth Hour has just began in Australia, what does it look like ?
...et en plus il est polyglotte, que de qualits. Dis, quand on me parle en italien je tombe amoureuse (sauf quand c'est Berlusconi).
Ik kan u zeggen de liefde in het nederlands als je wilt. Ik hou van jou. Ik omarmen je.
* Ik hou van je italiaans, het is erg sensueel, hummmm :)
Sacr Zolive, je ne te connais pas mais j't'aime bien, j'aime tes remarques sur q/r...voil, en tout respect de ta sympathique personne.
Ca serait chouette, en effet, s'ils avaient mis en ligne la vision d'une camera Satellite qui nous montre ce que a donne...
Turn off lights for atleast one hour. Pl dont use any electrical appliances, and gadgets in favor of Earth Hour.
Earth hour means that you turn your lights out for one hour in support of the earth.
Well if it's 830 now then they shouldn't be on yahoo. Either that or they're just not on because it's saturday night.
Quoi??? c`est shabbat..????

Are you going to participate Earth Hour?
I am!! I hope all of you are too! Mother Earth is counting on us!
I am of course! I love the earth
Hell no. My power comes from a nuclear power plant. It doesn't emit much in the way of deadly "green house gasses".
Hi. Yes I did. Peace
Yes, can't wait!
yep!!!!
It's way past 8.30PM... where I live..
Yep i did my bit :)
no its a stupid idea.
