Tree Stories

Editorial Comment: This came from ECOCITY: Sustainable Urban Development" <ECOCITY@SEGATE.SUNET.SE>, posted by Marty Kraft <martyk@COOP.CRN.ORG> of Kansas City, MO.


Tell Us Your Tree Story

If you have ever had a special tree in your life that offered you inspiration, that you visited often, or connected with in a deeply personal or spiritual way, we'd love to hear your story.

We are two authors working with a publishing company on compiling a book of people's special tree stories. We are looking for stories that show the impact trees can have on our lives, will fascinate the reader and have a universal message to them.

Your story is subject to editing and you will be given a by line in the book, but no fee will be given.

We hope you can be a part of this effort to collect stories which demonstrate how trees are so much more to us than a source for air, food, shelter, paper and timber.

BTU/$ or $/BTU?

From 1973 to 1983, the decade of the Energy Crisis, the US economy grew roughly 25% while using 5% less energy. I checked the figures in the _1997 Statistical Abstract_ (but could find only the 1996 edition at amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=9996163601/alistA/) at the library and found:
1973 74.3 quadrillion btu 3.902.3 billion $ GDP
1983 70.5 quadrillion btu 4,803.7 billion $ GDP

1995 figures are 90.6 quadrillion btu 6,742.2 billion $ GDP
I estimate we are using 28% more energy for 40% growth since 1983.

Since the "first" Energy Crisis in 1973, every report I've read shows that Japan and Germany are twice as efficient in terms of energy use per unit production than the US is.
Japan's 1995 figures are 21.519 quadrillion btu 2,679.2 billion $ GDP
Germany's 1995 figures are 13.653 quadrillion btu 1,452.2 billion $ GDP

I wonder if btu/$ or $/btu is a measure of efficiency or consumption, neither or both?

Further fun with energy numbers can be found through the US DOE Energy Information Administration (http://www.eia.doe.gov or (202)586-1800).

Outgassing on Global Warming

I don't care whether global warming exists or not. As a consumer, I demand a zero defect, zero emission economy. I want to have an industrial system that tracks all material flows throughout the economy and measures it down to the molecule. I want that information published on the label of everything offered for sale so that I can make an informed decision about what I buy. Until the market system provides such information in some form or other, we will continue to live in a fog of misinformation and destruction.

The Begging Bowl

I wonder if you could sell kitchen worm composters on the Home Shopping Channel? How about home emergency photovoltaic electric systems that double as battery chargers? Would you watch that infomercial? And would wide adoption of those two simple technologies lead significantly to a more sustainable society and culture? What else would we need? Home high production gardening systems for south-facing windows with solar fish tanks as an add-on option? It the marketplace ready for that? Is there a sustainable/restorative "killer app"? Do you have to sell it or can you give it away?
