There are two ways we can reduce pollution generated by mining: recycling, and actually taking steps to make mining operations less polluting: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/science...
While I have nothing against vegetarians as a whole (having friends and cousins who adhere to that lifestyle) I do find preachy vegetarians to be somewhat off-putting. Read my views on this Joe Schnaier blog: http://joeschnaier.tumblr.com/post...
Joe Schnaier here. While this is a wee bit late for Saint Patrick’s day (and that’s an understatement), this blog shares a few green things you ought to add to your diet at any time of the year: http://joeschnaier.blogspot.com/2013...
