McCain Vs. Obama

The campaign trail keeps heating up on the campaign trail and we at Eco20/20 love to watch it.  While both candidates say that they have plans and have given some vague answers to becoming energy independent and clean, they have yet to say anything new.

The current path of the administration has put an immense amount of money in alternative energy and have put forth the goal of having a 25 by 25 US.  Meaning, they want to have 25% of our energy come from alternatives by 2025.

So, while both candidates have put forth their ideas of energy independence, none of it is really new.

Oh, well, good luck to all the voters.  Don’t forget to vote for one!

world food shortage

I do not understand why the UN and US and Europe for that matter have not done more to help the worldwide food shortage.  While many people and organizations have found that the use of food products for biofuel’s is creating this shortage, no one is doing anything.  Why?  I am all for clean and renewable energy, but seriously, this does not seem like the moral thing to do.  I could be wrong, but corn should be for food, not gas!

Styrofoam-Not that Bad?

I am well aware of how bad Styrofoam is bad for the environment.  However, I need to relay a story.  A while ago 7-11 switched their coffee cups from the white foam cups to the paper cups with a paper holder for the cup.  Great, that sounds like a great thing for the environment.  I bought my cup of coffee this morning and alas they were out of holders.   I ended up using two cups instead, but, STILL BURNED MY HAND!

Does anyone else have a similar story, I am fine with not using Styrofoam, but, is there something else to replace it with that is just as insulated?
