Current Mood: pissed off

How much hyperbole are they engaging in, here? Because if the numbers really add up that way, I'm even more pissed, if possible, than I already was at the needless deaths goin' on!

Wonder how many solar ovens could be bought for $3 trillion.

Edit: That is to say "Is the cost of the war really that high? I honestly had not been paying any attention at all!" rather than "Could we honestly have done this much shit instead?" because, as noted in comments - who can tell?

Current Mood: concerned

One quick one about how cutting down on your meat consumption does a lot more good than simply buying local foods.

And another one about the future of oil - not much new here, but it's all very frightening, of course.

Which brings me to my link. It's been a while since I've talked about the need for solar ovens in some parts of the world, but hear me out here. Cooking fires are a direct cause of deforestation - which leads to global warming. They're also a direct cause of pollution which, given the number of cooking fires worldwide, leads to global warming. Cooking fires cause injuries to the people who use them - both fast ones like burns and long-time ones like damaged lungs. Going and getting fuel takes up so much of people's days, or their income, or both. Solar ovens can do so much good, really. There's another place to donate here, run by a Jewish organization. (Oh, and happy Passover, all.)

Just think about it.
