Norfolk Town's Schools First To Be Heated By Burning Cattle

Posted by samzenpus on from the burn-it-up dept.

A "trailblazing" Norfolk town has begun heating many of its buildings - including the schools - by burning oil made from melted-down cow and pig carcasses. The strategy is described as "equal or lower in carbon footprint than natural gas." Should schools have to offer vegetarian heating?

    The most effed up thing I've seen in a while. Who in their right mind would think this is better than wind or solar power?

    universal rule. never forget. it doesnt matter what you think, what you believe, how you rationalize, or how you see fit, who you are, whom you are with.

    what goes around, comes around, sooner or later. and it grows. if it comes later, its impact is bigger due to cause-effect chains, if it comes sooner, it may come back as it went.

    the relevance ? well. our current civilization has become an increasingly brutal civilization ... think and imagine.
