  • I realize that the thrust of the discussion is how we farm and otherwise tend to plant life, but if one is willing to step back a bit, the sentence, "Food and textile production are contributing billions of tons of CO2 each year.", shows that there are simply too many of us, in relation to the planet's fixed resources. Here's a real simple comic that shows where things stand today, and of course, our population's still growing:

    • Actually the thrust of the discussion was about how important healthy soils are to our environment and in combating the effects of man on climate change. People here and around the country seem to think that getting off fossil fuels is the answer when asked what can we do to stop climate change. While that will slow down our contributions, it won't solve the problem or will it clean up what is already out there effecting our climate.
      As for your point of there being to many of us based on the amount of CO2 created from food and textile production, that's not really true. It's the way that food is produced and what is used for textiles and how they are produced that is the problem.

    • Be sure that you use only one square of TP each time. (Some famous musician proposed that.)

    • Thanks, but this seems to be slightly misleading. The same amount of CO2 is going to appear "better" when it is divided by more dollars, so all this does is imply that the more affluent states are "cleaner"/greener. If you took out the division, I'd bet that the carbon would be strongest over higher-populated areas.
