... resources, like oil and metals, the one-way trip from raw material to disposed and forgotten waste makes less and less sense. Already we recycle aluminum to avoid mining, compost organic material to avoid generating methane in landfills and turn plastic into lumber. As it becomes more valuable, water will be no different. "We have to treat all waste as a resource," Conner Everts, executive director of the Southern California Watershed ...

... nickpoints, interrupt and distort the natural transport machinery between land and sea. River Interrupted Dams quiet the waters and backfill canyons forming massive lakes that produce and release vast amounts of methane from rotting vegetation underwater. The energy-deprived river unloads its rock and sediment load filling the reservoir, predicting its eventual self-cancellation by virtue of sedimentation fill. The only question is ...

I thought I'd buy a goat...a sort of organic lawn mower that recycles grass cuttings into milk and when family tame, quite vicious and terrotorial guard against all sorts of garden pests. ie human. but I read that methane from farm animals, is just as likely to create a hazard to the ozone ?? We have a problem with allergies, an over farmed variety of crops cultivated on purpose for markets in mass proportions. I'm not too sure ...

I control them as far as possible by not eating meat. How do you control yours? Not a source of methane. OTOH leguminous wedgibles and green wedgibles they're the fellers for fartin'.

... adding salt to water modifies the water causing it to become a        different type of water You forgot o mixing methane or hydrogen with oxygen chemically changes the methane/hydrogen. Centuries of study and experimentation by some of the finest minds to have walked the earth are as nothing when faced with Gollum.

...Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are generated during the production of animal feeds, for example, while ruminants, particularly cows, emit methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than carbon dioxide. The agency has also warned that meat consumption is set to double by the middle of the century..." ...
