Is Alcohol Killing Our Planet? 468
Andy_Spoo writes "Something that I've been trying to get an answer to: Is alcohol killing our planet? Alcohol is a byproduct of yeast, but another is CO2. As we all know (unless you've been asleep for years), CO2 is helping to warm our planet, sending us into destruction. So how much is the manufacture and consumption of alcohol contributing to the total world CO2 level? And don't forget that bars and pubs force beer through to their pumps using large compressed cylinders of CO2. Does anyone know?"

"There" ?
Over THERE wherever the poster is from, THEIR education system is so bad that THEY'RE making repeated mistakes over and over. THERE needs to be an improvement in THEIR attitude towards THEIR literacy. As long as THERE exists a culture of flippancy towards being properly literate, THEIR children will always respond to people correcting THEIR use of language with indignant responses scoffing at the need to be accurate in the use of language. THEY'RE constantly talking about things like "evolution of language" and that THERE have been many changes in the use of words over history, but THEIR mistake stems from the fact that THEY'RE completely disregarding the difference between language evolving to meet different circumstances, and language devolving due to the apathy and ignorance of those who speak it.

I'd have to say alcohol is the solution to saving our planet. As a very short friend of mine once said, all you have to do is:
1. Drink excessive amounts of liqueur
2. ???
3. ???

Thanks to evolving meat alternatives you can now enjoy steaks of similar texture and taste without the guilt of environmental destruction, animal suffering, world hunger, acceleration of drought, and looming heart disease. It may not look or taste exactly the same, but with an open mind and a sense of ethics one can overcome these prejudices and enjoy these healthy alternatives to animal flesh.
The cows will be reduced in number as markets shift away from the resource hungry and environmentally destructive sources of food. They may still live out their lives in some marginal lands, but no more rainforests will need to be leveled to grow all the soy and corn it takes to feed these miserable animals.
Change is a concept whose time has come.
