Have an Eco-Friendly Christmas

Posted by Rolf Joho on January 8th, 2010 filed in Global Warming

As the holiday season inches closer, you might be thinking of ways you can make your Christmas more environmentally friendly.   Some experts claim that Americans throw 25% more refuse away during the holiday season, which really adds up.   If you’re working to reduce your personal consumption, think about reducing your waste this Christmas.  If you limit your consumption, you will probably end up saving money – if you do it wisely.   Searching out the best business coupon at the office saves you money there, now you can save money at home through wise consumption.

Business software coupons are way to lower the bottom line at the office, and of course, we’re always looking for ways to save money.    You can easily save money at home, by implementing several simple steps to limit your energy consumption.  For example, when you hang your lights this year, put them on an automatic timer.   You can run them for 4 – 5 hours, during the time when the streets still have pedestrians and cars.   Once you reach a later hour, turn them off; not many will miss out! You’ll save money on your energy bill, and consume less.   LED Christmas lights are much more earth-friendly and energy conscious, so maybe it is time to replace those old, inefficient lights! 

When you’re buying for someone who lives out-of-town, choose smaller-sized gifts that require less shipping packaging. Consider also gift cards or cash gifts, which require even less packaging.  If you are shipping something, be sure to avoid foam peanuts and Styrofoam; you probably have some kind of scrap paper or newspaper hanging around that you can shred for packaging purposes.

Carry a reusable shopping bag with you when you go to the mall.  It’s easy to remember to bring them to the grocery store, but you can also bring them with you when you’re shopping for other things.  Or, you could consider using the first bag you get as your only bag, consolidating everything as you go along.  Trust us, there isn’t a rule that you must carry the purchase from one store in their bag!

So go ahead, “green up” your Christmas season.  Use your creativity to come up with more ideas to make this season bright…and green.

Climate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind The Global Warming HoaxNew revelations demonstrate how politics and powerful special-interest agendas have warped the most important scientific debate of the 21st century.

Melting glaciers, suffering polar bears, rising oceans—these are just a few of the climate change crisis myths debunked by noted aerospace expert Larry Bell in this explosive new book. With meticulous research, Bell deflates these and other climate misconceptions with perceptive analysis, humor, and the most recent scientific data.

Written for the laymen, yet in-depth enough for the specialist, this book digs deep into the natural and political aspects of the climate change debate, answering fundamental questions that reveal the all-too-human origins of “scientific” inquiry. Why and how are some of the world’s most prestigious scientific institutions cashing in on the debate? Who stand to benefit most by promoting public climate change alarmism? What true political and financial purposes are served by the vilification of carbon dioxide? How do climate deceptions promote grossly exaggerated claims for non-fossil alternative energy capacities and advance blatant global wealth redistribution goals?

With its devastating portrayal of scientific and government establishments run amok, this book is an invaluable addition to the tremendously popular literature attacking the scientific status quo. Climate of Corruption will bring welcome relief to all those who are fed up with climate crisis insanity.

Global Warming - Emerging Science and Understanding

The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your FutureAmericans are over-regulated and over-taxed. When regulation escalates, the result is an increase in regulators. In other words, bigger government is required to enforce the greater degree of regulation. Bigger government means bigger budgets and higher taxes. More simply doesn't mean better. A perfect example is the entire global warming, climate-change issue, which is an effort to dramatically and hugely increase regulation of each of our lives and business, and to raise our cost of living and taxes. In The Greatest Hoax, Senator James Inhofe will reveal the reasons behind those perpetuating the Hoax of global warming, who is benefitting from the general acceptance of the Hoax and why the premise statements are blatantly and categorically false.

2084: An Oral History of the Great Warming (Kindle Single)By 2084, global warming has proven worse than even the worst-case projections of scientists at the turn of the century. No country and no individual has escaped. Through interviews, this book of oral history captures the effects of the Great Warming on various countries and individuals, as reported in the year 2084.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded EditionSinger and Avery present—in popular language supported by in-depth scientific evidence—the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Using historic data from two millennia of recorded history combined with the natural physical records found in ice cores, seabed sediment, cave stalagmites, and tree rings, Unstoppable Global Warming argues that the 1,500 year solar-driven cycle that has always controlled the earth's climate remains the driving force in the current warming trend.

Trillions of dollars spent on reducing fossil fuel use would have no effect on today's rising temperatures. The public policy key, Singer and Avery propose, is adaptation, not fruitless attempts at prevention. Further, they offer convincing evidence that civilization's most successful eras have coincided with the cycle's warmest peaks. With the added benefit of modern technology, humanity can not only survive global climate change, but thrive.
