Gate 38: Avoiding Vinyl

http://gate38.blogspot.com/2008/07/avoiding-vinyl.html

Posted by Alex Bransky at 1:19 PM. All vegans and some animal-rights activists and environmentalists try to avoid purchasing products made with leather. Cows do a lot of burping. Emitting tons of methane into the atmosphere, and methane accounts for 18% of greenhouse gases, second only to CO2, so the mass breeding cows, particularly to be slaughtered, is clearly bad for the environment, without me even getting into the environmental problems with trying to feed so many cows. 365 Days of Songs.

Gate 38: Auto Bailout - Part 1

http://gate38.blogspot.com/2008/12/auto-bailout-part-1.html

Auto Bailout - Part 1. Posted by Alex Bransky at 9:35 AM. Normally I would be 100% percent against any sort of bailout of auto companies. I've thought for years that it made no sense that the U.S. government subsidized corporations who made unsafe, inferior, and environmentally harmful products. But now's our chance to change all that.

Gate 38: Washington: I-985

http://gate38.blogspot.com/2008/09/washington-i-985.html

Posted by Alex Bransky at 8:24 AM. If you live in the state of Washington and can vote on I-985. I-985 is sponsored by the anti-tax, anti-equality, anti-environment Tim Eyman. Which to any hardcore liberal means a vote of. You can't be serious. Or is that not an option on the ballot yet? Eyman seems to think that petroleum is a renewable resource and that population growth will slow to a halt soon. His latest initiative aims to provide congestion relief by:.

Basically the idea is that the government places an upstream cap on carbon dioxide by forcing first sellers* of fossil fuels to buy permits equal to the CO2 content of their fuels. Then checks are sent out each year (or month) to all legal citizens ( or just adults. At June 23, 2008 at 5:33 PM. I would li...

Gate 38: Products to Avoid

http://gate38.blogspot.com/2008/10/products-to-avoid.html

Posted by Alex Bransky at 2:41 PM. If you don't know already, you should avoid products with triclosan and triclocarban. These are commonly found in anti-bacterial soaps, toothpastes, and other products. Not only is it possible that they cause cancer in humans, but we've already seen harmful effects on marine life because so much of these chemicals is being emptied into major water systems after it leaves our houses through drain pipes.

Gate 38: The Risk of Small Steps

http://gate38.blogspot.com/2008/08/risk-of-small-steps.html

The Risk of Small Steps. Posted by Alex Bransky at 1:22 PM. Take for example the recycling of plastics. While most of us would agree that recycling is a great thing because it reduces the amount of energy we use ( usually. So how does one determine if a step forward is worth the risk?
