Tree hugger? No, not really. I live in a wooden house. I walk on a wooden floor. I use products that are made of wood all the time. It would be nearly impossible not to. However, does that mean I don't appreciate the beauty of trees? or it doesn't concern me that we are cutting down more forest than we can possibly replace? Yeah, I'm guilty of that.

I'm not a socialist. I believe in responsible capitalism. Just because you can do something does it mean you should? I think the resoundingly obvious answer to that is no.

ANYTHING can cause cancer, including water.

Yes you are right on all counts. You simply cannot live in this world without exposing yourself to the inherent dangers that come along with living in it. There are plenty of compounds and elements that can cause cancer in human beings and they are found in nature, they are 100% organic and yet, they still have the potential to cause cancer in humans. That's my point. There are plenty enough dangers existing in nature that there is little need to make new ones.

As for drinking soda, I do not. I don't drink soda or any other drink that has copious amounts of artificial coloring, preservatives or refined sugars. For the most part I try to only drink water. And again, as you said that too has the potential to cause cancer. I don't claim that I am free of my environment--I am a product of that environment but I do try lessen the dangers I expose myself to through making as informed decisions as I possibly can. In the end it is not up to me whether I live or die or by which means. That is completely out of my hands. As for the odds, I would like to think I can stack them in my favor or at least die trying to.

btw, for shampoo I only use moroccon clay. It's not the most convenient thing to use to wash my hair but it's worth the piece of mind for me. And no I'm not some dreadlock dude that hugs trees, sings Koom Ba Yah or beats drums in the middle of the forest in my all hemp made clothing.

As for soap I use purely sapponofied vegetable glycerin soap. None of the petrochemicals present. It doesn't hurt the water system or my skin, a win-win as far as I am concerned. Did switching to these products take a great deal of time or cost a disproportionally more than their chemical counter parts? No, they did not.

How wonderful but what does that have to do with Diesel?

[Malaki86]

He's replying to my post where I suggested he stay away from pretty much everything. Maybe a big plastic bubble is in his future.

Oh, wait, plastic is made from crude oil, forget that...

The reality of it is we are all going to die, nobody gets out alive. :wink: no point in doing the chicken little routine.
Can you dig it ? :lol:

Yeah, that may be true but hauling 9000 gallons of Diesel is soooo much fun!!!!
