©1996-2012 Roedy Green, Canadian Mind ProductsWhen you eat soy from Paraguay or meat from cattle fattened on that soy, be aware that there are no environment protection laws there, (or most other third world countries). Agribusiness kills third world children with careless spraying and handling of pesticides. You are effectively hiring them to do that. You are also taking a personal risk since those agribusinesses are equally careless with your life.

Greenpeace | One of the first environmental action movements. I have been helping them since 1968. I can vouch they are good people. One thing you can do to help is put Greenpeace banners on your website. If you don’t like them, there are older ones too. |

Dr. David Suzuki | I have known the people at the David Suzuki foundation, including David’s wife Tara, since 1961. I can vouch they are good people. |
 |
Western Canada Wilderness Committee | I have known the people at the WCWC since 1985. I can vouch they are good people. They work primarily to save BC’s old growth forests. You might consider sending them your $100 carbon reduction government giveaway cheque. You will probably get more carbon sequestered that way than any other way you could spend it. |

The atmosphere is incredibly thin. If you shrank the earth down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be so smooth you could not feel the contours of the mountains or oceans. The oceans would be just a damp slick. The atmosphere would be just a thin film.
