[Terrapreta] Critical thinking (continued)

[Duane Pendergast]

Right on Jim! 

And I'd like to remind list members there is an Engineering Institute of
Canada conference coming up where many of the issues relevant to the "use of
Terra Preta in a way that is environmentally friendly, economically viable,
and socially responsible" could be discussed in an engineering/science
forum. It's posted on this site. Please ignore my preamble there and go
straight to the attached Call for Papers.

Thanks Richard.

I posted the link to Crighton's article because I thought it was thought 
provoking -- still do. But it was only  appropriate to the many 
discussions about global warming, atmospheric CO2, hybrid or electrical 
vehicles  . . . the environment in general . . . and, regrettably, had 
little to do with Terra Preta. My apologies.

The fact is, the title of this list is "Terra Preta", the dark soils. 
I'm sure there are plenty lists out there that deal with saving the 
world, with global warming and if it is man made. But these have little 
to do with the sustainable use of Terra Preta. While there may be many 
side benefits and implicatkions of TP, these should not be (IMHO) the 
focus of this list. And, as Richard makes clear, the focus of this list 
should be on terra preta, how it might best be used in a way that is 
environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially responsible.

Jim
