Chris Huhne waves flag for anaerobic digestion, emits Biogas

Growing maize/corn for biogas is just plain stupid but helpful for Monsanto; which helps daily to kill the planet and us faster.

The Anaerobic Digestion brigade is continuing to produce hot air and gas in the run up to the General Election, in the hope of extracting some policy promises from any of the parties who might have a say in the future of this industry.

Yesterday saw a conference by the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association at which it was claimed that AD produced a good quality fertiliser, in the form of the digestate left behind after the methane has been produced. In reality, what is produced is a good soil conditioner, not a good fertiliser. This study on digestate from farm slurry found found no increase in nutrient value but that there was an increased risk of Ammonia pollution; which causes environmental harm and human health problems. This review confirmed that most of the N available from digestate is in the form of active Ammonium, which  can be released into…

Being Human Is Hard and Constant Work

Two methods help me – reminding that stuff just happens sometimes and has nothing to do with me – reminding myself that regardless of what just happened or not will have no impact on the sun rising tomorrow morning. If those don’t work a big AAAAARRRRRGH! helps.

Blogging is another form of therapy.  I’ve no clue who, if anyone, said that, but it sounds good. How did I ever make it all those years without running something by you, dear blogging friend?

So, here is the deal.

How often have you wanted to do the right thing but were unable to?

Sure, there are external forces preventing this:  1.  The traffic jam last week when the highway patrol closed part of the freeway to get a biker off safely.   2.  Getting home only to realize I forgot to buy a friend’s birthday gift, and no way was I going in that mayhem again.  3.  Calling my husband to see if he’d stop, but the call went to voice-mail.  He loves blasting the music in his car, tuning out the world.  I should have known.

So, that little problem — my husband enjoying his music at levels that…

Complaint to Paul Dacre chair of press code about Paul Dacre Daily Mail editor

The Sultans of Shame and Sham are at it again – Plumbing the depths of non-news and feeding petty hatreds.

Pride's Purge

(not satire – it’s the UK gutter press)

Mr Paul Dacre

Chair of the Editor’s Code of Practice

‘Independent’ Press Standards Organisation

Dear Mr Dacre,

I am writing to you in your position as chairman of the Editor’s Code of Practice to complain about you in your position as editor of the Daily Mail.

Specifically I am writing to complain about an article you commissioned in your own newspaper, the Daily Mail, in which you and your newspaper grossly maligned and bullied two young children, aged 3 and 6 years old.
