If that moniker was meant to be a denigration of those who think of others, the environment, and the health of this planet that we all live on for future generations, rather than just the immediate monetary situation/personal comfort of only themselves...count me as a card-carrying "Greenie." :thumbup:

If it was meant to exhibit an admiration/jealousy of those who care...then :cool:.

Words failed me when I saw the post in question. Thank you for a polite, clear, respectful set of words. I'll agree, wholeheartedly.

It's done because...it's cheaper and easier.

Alternatives to burning (strike match here)



In Florida though, the sugar lobby is very powerful and donates a lot of money to politicians, so that's the real reason it's allowed...and probably won't change. :ohdear:
I lived on Maui for 17 years. I think I know what I'm talking about.

After reading page after page of commentary here, my conclusion is no different than before this thread started. We have the "True Believers" who will not/cannot be swayed from their position and we have those for whom the jury is still out. One side at this point in time cannot sway the other. So, why continue this exercise in futility? I fear we are reaching the point of name calling and worse. Time to call it a day and enjoy life.

12 books about climate change 'solutions' that belong on your summer reading list >> Yale Climate Connections

This looks quite useful.

With all due respect...based on what?

Did you read my link in post #108?

In the interest of actual facts and not based on just length of residency, particularly since I haven't seen a claim of being a sugar scientist and/or managing any significant sugar cane operations, I'll save you some time...and post just a part of the article from the link.

Green harvesting is practiced by some of the world’s top sugarcane growing nations like Brazil and Australia where trash is effectively utilized to produce profits instead of being burned.

This post sums up the thread nicely. Posts have deteriorated to member on member. This thread is now closed.
