Burning a small piece of coal or an oil lamp in your greenhouse would benefit the plants.
It is a matter of scale and concentration.
to much of anything is a bad thing. when you compare how much coal and oil we burn to the vast size of our ecosystem it is nothing.
But I really respect people who don't like oil or it's derivatives that boycott all things that were produced or transported with it.
I mean it just aint cool to show up to the earth day festival in an car.
Remember what they said when Saddam Hussein blew all the oil wells. Environmentalist were saying it would be the end of the world. Remember all the hubbub over the Exxon Valdez spill? Well nature has a way of remediating oil.
Every day million and millions of barrels of oil naturally seep into the oceans. The bacteria just gobble it up and are hungry for more.
Being a carbon based life form, I am a great proponent of carbon.
However I am against locally concentrated poisons, be it chicken manure or pcb rich run off.
There is a balance
