E-cigs are clean, green, and eco-friendly

[a2dcovert]

Oh, I realize opinion pieces are not typically newsworthy. But I do think that it only helps to point out another advantage of ecigs that we can use. The more people that we can get to listen, learn and help us promote them, the better. Green people usually are not smokers, so that is a whole segment of the population that we are able to gain support from by touting the green benefits of ecigs over analogs. They and many others will respond better to those benefits than to the fact that it is less harmful to smokers than analogs.

I agree, and thanks for posting this. Any positive news needs to be highlighted. To some on the other side this would not be good news. I know that by a direct compareson the e-cig is a lot "greener" than the analog. So, at least we shouldn't have the "green" people against us.

This greenie isn't against the ecig! (I am against Disposable ecigs though)

The contributions to less trash, less butts leaching into the ground (and making a mess along roadways)... the fact you can't flip a lit cigarette .... out the window anymore... so no more wildfire devastation... no carbon monoxide and other things emitted into the air... All wonderful reasons this product is environmentally friendly.

The ecigs can be Reused and Recycled which in turn brings Reduction.

There are SO many reasons greenies can get on board with this. We won't get them all, but we will certainly get some.

Has anyone ever done a video comparing vaping and smoking side by side? I would think that just showing how different they are would have a HUGE impact on public opinion.

Just imagine showing a PV between drags vs. a cigarette between drags - a PV doesn't keep spewing smoke when not being inhaled! And the difference in an ashtray used by a PVer and one used by a smoker (the visual of an empty ashtray vs. one filled with nasty butts!) A list of ingredients in PV liquid and a list of ingredients in a cigarette?

Come on video experts - put something together! (Or I will and it probably won't be pretty, lol!)

good idea mate, i think i might make that vid!

global warming is about how we have effected the environment with industrialisation, pollution etc. it's not just about "getting warmer", it's about changing weather patterns and the like. science backs it up.

the Kyoto accord was symbolic... the first step in admitting that there is a problem and we should be doing something about it.

but that's just my 2 cents

and history and science both back up that periodically, the earth changes itself. theyre talking about the gulf stream moving away from northern europe, and that would be a lot more serious than my grandchildren getting a sunburn. im kinda joking about the sunburn thing, but the impact on several countries will be more serious.

Absolutely false! The earth may or may not be warming, that's not in debate. What is in debate is whether Mankind is responsible. There is no good science that proves our effect on cliimate.

Kyoto was symbolic, that the developing countries wouldn't follow and we alone would bear the burden and financial impact of regulations that serve no purpose other than to make some people feel good thinking they were saving the planet.
