i wonder how long it will take to use all 10,000 characters?i have al ready used,well i don'y know everytime i type it changes i wonder oh i know how now!
Right better get cracking then, I've got unlimited space. Should I use punctuation? The theme of this month is food because it's food that everyone loves. We all love some animal products and biproducts every now and then (by we all I mean myself) and I have been aspiring to living simply so that others can simply live. The classic leaflet from Drax went "so you think you can eat meat and save the environment?" and proceeded to go through the economics of the food chain in which people are at the top. Very little of thef input of cows are recycled. Cows are the worst. Some say the greenhouse gas equivalent from all the added up farts of livestock count for more than the entire transport sector. And that's a lot of warming gases. How do we know this? They put the animals in the lab and measure their farts. It's quite simple, I could do it in teaching labs with an IR spectrum it would show up very clearly. The trouble is we're not all equipped with infrared vision. As the DEFRA video went "if we could see the gases, the problem would be obvious". The part of chemistry that could be spared of environmental criticism is analytical. Of course analytical chemistry still uses loads of resources for things like HPLC, high performance liquid chromatography, purification of solvents, disposable vial technology, energy to run enormous NMR magnets. But at the end of the day you have a result. Maam that coke sample contains caffeine. They say a lot of these experts state the bleeding obvious but you have to look carefully at what they don't say. Have you got a good hypothesis as to how the contamination occured? Have you tested for everything? Have you done it properly or ultra-properly and double checked and signed all the forms.

I am uploading a video about incineration on YouTube that the local campaign against notingham's home waste incinerator has contributed to. There's so much to do for an environmentalist. You mustn't give up hope though. One of the first steps to solving these problems is to raise awareness. When this has been attempted, never give up! Everyone is reading the same environment guardian reports as you. Stuff changes all the time. It's time to use our expert knowledge to say: You may think incinerators are totally the way forward but this is not being done properly. For heaven's sake people throw full beverage bottles in there, full of water. Water screws up the incinerator but nobody feels able to speak up in that middle ground because the council might hate criticism and the campaigners might think you're promoting incineration. I'm not I'm just saying we don't get enough power as we should out of waste. The latest thing the Green Party is pushing is anaerobic digestion for things like waste food and nappies which possibly shouldn't be in the waste stream in the first place. The idea is because there's no oxygen the bacteria can't convert the biological matter into CO2 only methane. Normally methane is worse when emitted so it is flared off. But with anaerobic, the only gas to come out of your digester tank is methane. That is the same natural gas we cook on only it's post-consumer, not post-bp-Gazprom. Cooking is an important use of fossil fuels that we must collectively prioritise over useless ad-ons like hydrogen cars. Break free of that oil economy. The Stern Report makes it quite clear about the economics of climate change, unless you are Hilary Benn. We must adapt, but when it comes to heavier warming such as 3-6 degrees above last century's average, we are much better of simply preventing that warming than cope with the consequences. The consequences to put it bluntly are millions starving to death over the course of our lifetimes. Imagine a mere 5 m sea level rise that would be garenteed if every chav flew off to Malanga for the weekend. Factor in the multiplying chavs and you can see that it must be stopped! Hey I would even give you a free drink and houseparty as compensation for not flying. People like me have made sacrifices to make a low-carbon world possible. It's trial and error basically but come and see how I recycle cans out the window or make use of my garden for mint, leeks, garlic, onions, and potatoes. I put effort in and what do I get back? Free food. Free food is the meaning of life, ok. Free food is on your street, those plums falling on the ground unpicked, those apples on my kind neighbour's turf. You can't get that variety of apple from half way around the world. You can only get it by asking nicely. Blueberries, free food, do you get what I'm saying? Have I missed something, no you've missed something if you've never been down the back of M&S for some fresh bread, or a shop for skipped bananas. Why go to the reduced section when an estimated 30% of all food grown in this country is thrown away. Just because it doesn't meet cosmetic standards doesn't mean it won't make a great pie or bake. Just because it's free, does that make it bad? Heathrow has a food disposal area probably for all those airfreighted lemons that got kerosene spilled on them. I don't know but I know waste is wrong and we can find a way to eliminate it, to recycle it. To live in harmony with our world, our shared surroundings, our environment.
If you've got this far you're doing well but just imagine my challenge. I've got 3100 more words to write. Right so we've won the environmental argument. Cheap flights are ridiculous whatever the tax and whatever the ads say. Trust me on this. Habits and society has to change in line with the currently scientifically established nature of our world. This is a world of 6.2 billion people. This is a deeply devided world. You've heard the rich-poor divide paradigm but climate change is a new paradigm. You see all the greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere so the industrialised countries have already commited us to 1 degree of warming. China still won't have caused that CO2 to remain there. Sure maybe they cut down a few trees but you can read chinadialogue.net to find out about that. My area is me, here, now in my local community. I have found some neighbours and we now cook for each other it's really sweet. I disagree with their cooking methods a little but a problem halved is a problem shared. We used the electric oven for Iceland frozen oven chips. I've been analysing every co2 emitter hard and have calculated that actually gas oven is 3 times as efficient. Then source the potatoes locally and you save a lot of transport problems and chemical refrigerants. The joke is the greenpeace crowd would heavily criticise me. For being capitalist, for having a job, and for focusing on these small things rather than the way we worship money. But I don't live in a green ghetto yet. My previous housemates used to waste a lot of food. It made me sick how they'd drive down to sainsbury's and buy a huge bag of potatoes and then not touch it. Towards the end they stopped offering me their unwanted supplies. So I took the sprouting supermarket potatoes and planted them. Recently a massive victory was won to stop GM crops. They were destroyed, down to the last field last month. And yet here I am on a small scale, little me, planting supermarket potatoes that could be GM trials from America. To be honest I've been exposed to chemical pollution much worse than a bit of recombinant DNA. Hey last week a rubber teat was melted down in the bottom of a beaker and I had to wash it out. And how am I supposed to get rid of chloroform mixed in with lots of water? My Tory shadow, Hamish, told me no-one checks. Apparently all my waste solvent goes for “cleaning”. Dry cleaning perhapse. That process is so 20th century. We have to move to the sort of technologies the Indians have used. Meditation, buddhism, it's all going to save the world as the worlds biggest religion after Christianity and Islam. Indians are often vegetarian. I love learning about their food. Su
