Do you think people who drink beer should drink only with the goal of getting drunk to show respect to the environment?

2 Urine recycles very fast - not a pollutant like a heavy metal or complex chemical. Also, one could make an argument for light drinking for social reasons.

3 You could accomplish the same thing by having the beer drinkers take their leaks in the bushes where they'd be adding organics to the soil and promoting plant growth which would fight global warning by converting CO2 to oxygen. And think of the benefit to the water supply if you avoided all that flushing. Properly applied, it's clear that a substantial increase in beer drinking would be a major benefit to the planet.

4 There is no quick and smart solutionWhen it comes to the subject of pollutionAnd there is very little hopeHowever much you pay for soapWhen you don't know where the water's been. ;-) .

5 If you drink water instead of beer, you'll urinate about the same amount, both in terms of volume and suspended chemicals. (Especially if you drink Weak Pale American Lager, aka, "normal beer"! ) The differences are so slight that I doubt a lab equipped with 1960s state-of-the-art equipment could tell the difference.In other words, there are probably 10,000 things a person could do that are likely to have a larger impact on the environment than modifying one's alcohol consumption.

But thanks for thinking about the issues; that's more than most Americans are doing! .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
