OT: carbon dioxide reduction question

Every bit sent via the net takes a small amount of energy to transmit. Multiply that by the number of news servers and it adds up.

And yes, ya done good Dennis.

CO2 is produced in the production of beer. It is collected ( or harvested in NS ) and used in the bars and pubs etc for the serving thereof.

The ones I have visited (northern Europe, mainly) have tanks for

The blueprints I saw for one brewery had a large tank, and piping for tank trucks to deliver Carbon Dioxide.

What I know as beer gas A lot of the generated gas in the fermentation process is used to compress the kegs and larger container for delivery , very strong beer smell of course

O2 via

ng for

So in other words, the brewing process generates CO2 ?

(Not that it matters of course)

I refrain from drinking mineral water because it is indistinguishable from tap water, but others claim that it, too, has an unacceptable carbon footprint.

"LONDON -- London Mayor Ken Livingstone on Tuesday [February 19, 2008] launched a blitz against bottled mineral water, urging restaurant customers in the British capital to ask for tap water to help the environment.

Livingstone said tap water was not only cheaper but also comes without the heavy carbon footprint of transporting bottled varieties by road and often vast distances by air from countries as far away as Fiji and New Zealand."

Yes.

Deliver? or receive.... The brewing process generates CO2.

Good, thank you for confirming that.

I always drank tap water (again no difference in taste in my opinion, and it is essentially free) but stopped when fluoride was put in by QLD state government order earlier in the year, as there is plenty of controversy as to its safety that I would rather not risk it. Back to rain water for me.

(For those that are into carbon footprints, I don't see how you can beat rainwater).

I know for a fact that one of the large name mineral waters sold here in WA is simply bore water from a property in the hills near Perth.

Tap water is the way to go.

yup basic chemistry , beer is related to yogurt :) I know which I prefer

For what ?

How about all the ambulance traffic for people who get dysentery from drinking the bird droppings rinsed off their roof? ;-&

On modern tanks, you have a "first flush" unit, that discards the first lot of water, this allows sufficient time for the roof to be washed clean before the tank starts filling, then the water is fine, no dirt and crap. Interestingly though, at school a long long time ago, we had 2x 8,000 gallon (approx) tanks that collected rain water from the roof for drinking - no first flush or filter, everyone drank out of them, including the teachers and no one got sick from it.

Of course, if there were toxic chemicals in the air and it wasnt safe, I wouldnt drink it, but that isnt the case here.

No health problems in my family.

"**BIG difference. Beer and some sparkling wines generate their own CO2 via the fermentation process." 10/2/2011

Riiiight. And if you close your eyes, Tinkerbell will live.
