    Help plant Ferns to improve our environment!

    Help plant Ferns to improve our environment!

    Why Ferns?


    Trees and forests and Ferns are a crucial part of the Earth's ecosystem. They are green machines that clean our air and water by absorbing pollutants and stabilizing soils.

    What is the interest in Ferns?

    There is a lot of people who would love to Plant a Tree to help with the environment but cannot due to the space and cost of trees. We offer the Fern as a viable alternative. Your Donation no matter how small can help to plant a fern. We will plant and nurture a fern in your name for Only $10 each. You can of course donate as much as you wish and have the peace of knowing that multiple ferns are growing and You helped to make it happen.

    What is our goal?

    WickedGoodOutdoors has a goal to reduce the CO2 impact .One of the ways will be to plant Ferns each year to help offset the CO2 impact.

    Ferns will be planted in a Coastal Maine location where they flourish in the cool damp environment helping to enrich our world by diminishing Co2 gasses.

    hoytedow Fly on the Wall - Miss ddt yet?

    I was an adult 40 years ago and the only changes to our coastline were reshaping done by hurricanes. Same beach. Same height above sea-level. My iced-tea never overflowed when the ice melted, either, even when it was filled to the top.

    What's your point? Can you name any of the 'experts' he's talking about?
    No, you can't--because there were no experts thirty years ago saying such a thing. So you're making irrelevant noise instead, as usual.

    You guys need to pick the story you want and stick to it. The last time I checked, you were claiming that thirty and forty years ago the 'experts' said there was an ice age coming, not a melting of the ice that would inundate the coastlines. Which bs story are you going with, Hoyt?

    Just because I can't remember their friggin' names doesn't mean those self-appointed experts didn't say it. Can you remember every detail of the last year, much less the last forty?

    fourty years ago I was a all about scuba diving and marine biology, the word at the time was ecosystem destruction not Rapid Global Climate Shift.

    If you want a synopsis of what the general thinking was from that time go read Rachel Carlsons silent spring and then come back and talk about her predictions

    my theory is if you want to argue something ( even if its only to distract from something else you tried to argue and turns out you knew nothing about ) then go brush up on it "before" you start spouting off random claims that you then can not support

    kinda makes for a more interesting conversation if you ask me

    cheers

    Yeah, Rachel C was all the rage when I was in college. It was malarky then too, but it almost sucked me in. Then I saw who did the ranting and figured out what the agenda was.

    Damn all those with an agenda to clean up our oceans and air? You sound like a disgruntled teen that has been told to keep their room clean. Do you pour your used motor oil down the drain too?

    Quote by Boston......................




    who then come right back and want to present unreviewed and unpublished op ed pieces concerning oil and gas industry's PR outlet the "Heartland Institute" ( which is actually nothing more than a tin shed warehousing three or four energy company funded employees and a few pallets of disinformation literature).


    You got anything like photos or stuff to back up that tin shed remarK?????

    Don't be trite, we have Boston and Troy for that. Simply because we don't buy into the absurd claims, junk science and social engineering scams of the AGW movement doesn't mean we are in favor of pollutionl.

    Good advice Boston, you ought to try it yourself instead of playing shell games with graphs, studies, and data.
