Sometimes sacrificing have to be made. Even if you don’t want more meat, yes sir.
Same as “printing/copying” blank sheets of paper and throwing them away to offset the recyclers.My pet peeve (well, one of a long list) is the statement "This page intentionally left blank." If that shows up in a document I'm reviewing, it gets a comment: "No it isn't."
Yah, that is bad. The purpose is to just waste paper, not toner.ohio jones wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:11 pmMy pet peeve (well, one of a long list) is the statement "This page intentionally left blank." If that shows up in a document I'm reviewing, it gets a comment: "No it isn't."
We decided those sheets are good for starting a fire in the wood stove.RZehr wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 2:34 pmYah, that is bad.

But that is releasing carbon back into the atmosphere, isn’t it?MaxPC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 8:00 amWe decided those sheets are good for starting a fire in the wood stove.RZehr wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 2:34 pmYah, that is bad.

Remember to seal it with shellac first so that it doesn't biodegrade.RZehr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 9:28 amBut that is releasing carbon back into the atmosphere, isn’t it?
Might be better to just buy reams of new paper, and sequester all that carbon long term by placing the whole ream straight into the landfill. Additional environmental benefits are that new trees get planted to replace the ones that were logged. And we are creating jobs for loggers and mill workers and truck drivers. And without the use of harsh chemicals that are found in printing ink.
Might even get a carbon credit or two from the government for doing this.
Right. Maybe the way to go is to do it by the bale/pallet instead of ream. Just buy pallets of paper, shellac them, take them straight to the dump.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 1:51 pmRemember to seal it with shellac first so that it doesn't biodegrade.RZehr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 9:28 amBut that is releasing carbon back into the atmosphere, isn’t it?

The volcanoes erupting around the world put out more carbon than woodstoves. I am not worried about it.RZehr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 9:28 amBut that is releasing carbon back into the atmosphere, isn’t it?

Another recent study came out that scientists say we should have more CO2. Personally, I let God deal with it as He is quite good about perfecting all things.
