    Sounds like the ultimate in recycling. I wonder how well the block insulate?

    Six days earlier than last year. :frowning:

    I did the math and correct me if I'm wrong but at this rate, by the year 2050, Earth Overshoot Day will be January 15th.  That is almost impossible to imagine.  What on earth are we doing?

    I don't know if this belongs here but I think this is just so sad and totally awful.
    I think the Amazons is worth more than all the gold, silver and metals in the world.

    Very bad news, indeed.

    "Good grief we are weak...  We can't run all that far or fast, climb all that well or endure long without water.  Thinking of us in this way, we are simultaneously a miracle and a vexing frustration for Nature and the planet as both have conspired together since the beginning of human existence to bring us to an end before we are able to do it to them.  We're winning."

    You're welcome, Shyner.  It's a fine book by the way.  Henry grows wise.
