Oh well I guess the talking point of today is the evil banana.
I don’t believe that. They disintegrate on my counter faster than that maybe a week.
Once they’ve slipped the Trojan rubber over it...just tie it off...and, Bob’s your uncle.
The take-away is create your own compost bin and fill it with worms.
Another example that ‘scientists’ have tremendous pressure to publish. So we get a constant barrage of papers that become micro focused on something true but completely irrelevant.
We’re supposed to feel guilty about the slaughter of millions of Bison that used to roam freely. Now we’re supposed to feel guilty about raising livestock.
How many animals are there? How much methane do they produce? How much CO2 is created from natural wildfires and volcanoes? Carbon underground used to be carbon above ground. Please tell me how a 0.04% trace gas (CO2) will be a globe killer if it fluctuates a bit? Please tell me how a little more won’t just translate to happier plants and a greener planet? Water vapor is the #1 greenhouse gas, while 2/3 of the planet is covered by water. I assume nothing can be done about that.
...and yet I’m supposed to be worried about banana peel decomposition in a landfill? While none of the predictions include the varying activity of the Sun into their ‘models’.
When somebody gets the b*lls to tell China to stop opening a new coal fueled power plant every other week...let me know.
smh.
Yeah but what a glorious 2 years it is.
Twinkie to banana: Hold my beer.
Well huh, I thought most of this type waste was going into compost bins/green cans.
That’s one I do because you can get free to nearly free compost and mulch from the dump.
Let them compost for me so I don’t have to.
total BS, I throw my banana peels on my plants all the time, and they are completely degraded with a week or two.
“Methane is a substance that adds to the ozone layer, capturing sunlight and heat in the earth.”
Stupid on steroids.
The author of that article slept thru class the day they taught thermodynamics.
My dentist swears I get more radiation from eating a banana than from her innumerable x-rays of my teeth.
Almost nothing degrades in a landfill. Not enough oxygen for it. If you want the stuff to degrade, you need to turn it like a compost pile.
I have seen recent photos of a McDonalds hamburger and french fries in original condition that was made in the 1970’s.
