[Greenbuilding] Yes, but is it Green ?

Beer (and coke used to) come in Glass bottles....

Doug, what do you mean buried glass is emitting CO2? I know it takes a lot of fossil fuel to make glass (my family in India used to make glass using coal).... but does it continue to emit?

All, 
I wondered why the glass blower in the
village near us moved to a location half way to the next town. 
I suppose that is why. Believe I will ask.
BTW he is closer to me.

We have produced more glass emitting
sequestered carbon than all the plant life combined on this planet.
Imagine how much is sitting in a 1000 year
old arch dig site and how long it has been emitting CO2.
We moved TV screen making off shore due in
part to the CO2 emissions and arsenic issues associated
in manufacturing.
Let the unsuspecting sod reap the buck a
bay benefits of ending up with crystallized lungs and veins for a job
well done.
There are (2) glass blowing storefronts in
the city where we live and I'd love to have them shut down.
Furthermore, finding a way to rid the area
of any residual arsenic ect will be very interesting and microscopic I might
add.

The problem isn't really CO2
but the constant massive input of more CO2 from the burning of
sequestered CO2 (fossil fuels).  Yeasts turning stuff into beer releases
no sequestered CO2.  I also (not knowing the process) question the idea
that putting bubbles in Coke releases sequestered CO2.

Maybe not in the name... but Coke seems to be doing a lot of green-washing with
their save the polar bears campaign with WWF.

Given that Coke's main product is a greenhouse gas "Carbon Dioxide"
it's somewhat ironic that they try to get people to believe they care about the
environment.

Having said that, I assume their CO2 gas comes from beer, so perhaps beer
drinkers are more at fault!
