Is it wrong for a guy to wear a suit and tie in a business casual work environment?
Filed under More Green IdeasAug 10My man just got himself a new job. He has always hated the business casual dress code. He wants instead to wear a suit a suit and tie. Is it a bad idea for him to dress that formally when nobody else does.
Best reply by Atrina:
I dont think so, I think it shows an strong initiative for professionally. However, if anyone brings it up and thinks it’s off, maybe wear jeans with his suit jacket and tie? It “casualizes” the business attire.

I cleaned out my icebox and threw out 3 cartons of eggs, 2 packs of hamburger, a gallon of milk, and some bad orange juice. I had most these things 4 or 5 months.

i hope you recycled containers before i start. basically, the food you could have eaten could have gone to someone else. imagine all of the people like you that wasted all the food sitting in your fridge, lets say 1,000 people. if that food was consumed, replacement food needed to restock shelves wouldn’t be needed as quickly and the places where the food was made wouldn’t have to replace it as fast. it extends the food that we have. i’m not saying a cow would have been saved, i’m saying one cow would go further, so not as many cows would be needed to replace the already slaughtered cows. just think about it, 2 packages of hamburger for 1,000 people, assuming each package held…. 6 patties…. that’s a lot a food that could have gone farther. the other foods aren’t as harmful, but i’m puting a lot of emphasis on cows because they also create a lot of methane gas naturally after they digest their foods which contribute to the greenhouse effect. The areas where the meat comes from, the pastures, a lot of the time they were once sections of forests. there’s just a big unnecessary chain of wasting food, but you shouldn’t feel that bad because things like that occasionally happen. it just shouldn’t be a habit.

Best reply by truth sleuth:
Too much production of methanol polluting our environment. Find creative ways to collect it and reuse in producing energy, or make fertilizer. Or..sell bags of cr*p from your roadside stand.

How does the environment affect the organism, and how does an organism affect the environment? Have we humans have good or bad effects on the environment?
Best reply by LAlawMedMBA:
The environment affects the organisms in its ecosystem. An ecosystem is a natural unit consisting of all plants, animals and micro-organisms (biotic factors) in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical (abiotic) factors of the environment.
Central to the ecosystem concept is the idea that living organisms are continually engaged in a highly interrelated set of relationships with every other element constituting the environment in which they exist. Eugene Odum, one of the founders of the science of ecology, stated: “Any unit that includes all of the organisms (ie: the “community”) in a given area interacting with the physical environment so that a flow of energy leads to clearly defined trophic structure, biotic diversity, and material cycles (ie: exchange of materials between living and nonliving parts) within the system is an ecosystem.”
Organisms have some impact upon the environment in which they live. For example, beavers produce dams that block streams and create ponds; bears raid bee hives by tearing open tree trunks and sometimes gorging on an entire honeycomb; woodpeckers remove beetles and grubs from tree bark.
Humans have caused mostly bad effects upon natural environments. Human overpopulation and overdevelopment have depleted environmental resources, primarily through air pollution (e.g., greenhouse gases), water pollution (e.g., phosphate detergent eutrophication and algal blooms), soil erosion (caused by runoff from farmland), and deforestation (from slashing and burning to open land to agriculture). Humans have caused the destruction of ecosystems and massive extinction of wildlife.

On a scale of 1-10, how bad do fireworks pollute our environment?
Best reply by KTDykes:
Given the small quantities of material involved, they wouldn’t get onto the scale at all. You’d need to include 0.001. Fireworks are an irrelevance.
