Red Wine a little helps a lot.

 Moderate alcohol intake—perhaps red wine especially—is associated with health and long life, This appears to be the standing thought from many health experts today.

  Light drinking in general—up to a drink a day for women, and two for men—is known to be good for you. It’s associated with lower risk for coronary artery disease, diabetes, congestive heart failure and stroke. With most experts agreeing that red wine takes the first place. Red wine is clearly the drink of choice if you are doing light to moderate drinking for your health, and daily consumption just before or with the evening meal may be the most protective pattern.

 So this brings us to the next question. Are all Red wines equal in their health benefits or does a top of the line Red wine have more of what your looking for over a lower cost Red wine?

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.
