Starbuck to sell carbonated drinks.

Starbuck said this morning that it’s going into the “carbonation space,”
What's that mean?, it’s going to sell soft drinks.

Starbuck said that it’s a“handcrafted” soda.
What does that mean?

A Starbucks handcrafted soda, “does not combine carbonated water with syrup. Rather, the flavors and spices are put together in a large cheesecloth and steeped in hot water. You will be able to ask for a light, standard or extra carbonation.” The juice goes in first, then the fizz.
A tall “lemon ale fizzio handcrafted soda” will cost about $2.45.
Starbucks sates that it will not use high-fructose corn syrup, or even venti-fructose corn syrup, just sugar, 21 grams in a tall lemon ale fizzio handcrafted soda. That’s about about five sugar packets. If you put five sugar packets into your coffee, Your close on sweetness.

You can go all the way to a trenta, according to Starbuck’s Web site. That’s 52 grams of sugar, you do the math. It's about 13 sugar packs, in 31 ounces of liquid.
In New York City that’s not legal.

Used coffee grounds can help stop global warming.

With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane. Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...

Meat and climate change. One side of the story.

What do you think? This is one side of the story. Meat production is a major contributor to climate change. It is estimated that livestock production accounts for 70 per cent of all agricultural land use and occupies 30 per cent of the land surface of the planet. Because of their sheer numbers, livestock produce a considerable volume of greenhouse gases (such as methane and nitrous oxide) that contribute to climate change. In fact, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that livestock production is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gases. The growing of livestock and other animals for food is also an extremely inefficient process. For example, it takes approximately five to seven kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of beef. Each of those kilograms of grain takes considerable energy and water to produce, process, and transport. As meat consumption has grown around the world, so has its climate impact.
