Radio Netherlands reports that classical music concerts can be responsible for 50 tons of carbon emissions. Since the Dutch don’t have enough land for the number of trees it would take to cancel that out, one organizer is donating concert revenue to a project for using cow manure to make electricity.
Here in Canada, the CBC reports that cattle emit 200 to 300 litres of methane per day, and there’s about 1.2 billion of them. Never mind the sheep, goats, camels and water buffalo. Meanwhile, back in 2006, according to a Buddhist blogger, the New York Times was already blaming cows for 18% of climate change-causing methane emissions.
So. We use the cows to fuel the concerts to reduce climate change, but we’ve got to get rid of the cows to reduce climate change. Sounds like the global initiative is a well-orchestrated, streamlined logic machine to me.
And that’s my opinionated opinion for this week. Ta ta!

Be part of something different.
Please know we want DIFFERENT. There are plenty of wonderful “Christian Blogs” out there for fine, churchgoing Christians to read and slap their AMEN onto. We have no desire to be another one of those.
We want our writers to have a bit of an edge to them. Speak to people who do not speak the church lingo who may have left the church and have no desire to be IN CHURCH but still desire a relationship with Christ.
Step 1: Please check us out to determine whether you feel a fit with our current content, and feel free to send a submission/sample post to the email addy listed below.
Step 2: Here’s our call for submissions:
Humble O Radio has its roots in conversations over coffee.
These conversations were between people of faith who were wondering where God was in the midst of trials. Some well meaning people would shoot from the theological hip but that wasn’t good enough for them and frankly, it isn’t good enough for you.
The audio, video and written blogs on this site are here for people from all walks of life at all stages in their journey of faith, even when they feel like they’ve gotten off the path and have no faith. No worries, that hand that used to guide you is still there for you to hold too.
Humble O Radio is a live and interactive online radio stream that will feature music, compelling talk and interesting blogs from a Christian World View. We are looking for bloggers who are interested in writing weekly on the following topics (200-500 words per article).
- Parenting
- Finances
- World Religions
- World Politics
- Health
- Music
- Art – Theater
- Technology and Gadgets
- Science
- Empty Nest
- Grand Parenting
Payment is in web exposure and the gratification of a great team environment. We’re doing something so unique, it’s been catching on organically even through a lazy winter. Just wait till we start actually working on it.
If you are interested please send samples of your writing and/or direct us to your blog to review your other writings by emailing us at humbleoradio @ gmail.com…be sure to close the gaps before and after the @ in the address for it to work properly.

Writer…Interrupted was birthed out of my own need to connect with other writing moms. Though I found many wonderful mommy blogs that talked about raising families, none met my unique need of balancing a writing career with raising a family. Soon after I launched the Writer…Interrupted group blog I realized there were other writers, fathers, employees, caregivers, and students who were also interrupted in their writing.

…No, I don’t mean what you might find up the nose of a Christian with a cold.
TheBereanCall.org’s radio program, Search the Scriptures Daily, quotes an Orlando Sentinel article from Feb 22/08 on evangelicals and global warming:
“Global warming is an offense against God….America needs our biblical outrage….we as a nation will face a judgment from God if we don’t do this.”
– Rev. Richard Cizik, National Association of Evangelicals’ vice-president of governmental affairs
Cizik has been covered by enviro mag Grist, the Washington Post, PBS’s Religion & Ethics Newsweekly and Christianity Today for his opinions on global warming. Other major evangelical leaders, including James Dobson, have called for him to be silenced or fired for his stance on the climate change controversy. According to a quote referenced by Christianity Today, Jerry Falwell brands it “be[ing] duped by these ‘earthism’ worshippers.”

I imagine if you are a fan of Bill Mallonee’s work with VoL you probably already know about his free download offer on his site. If not, he is offering his “Summershine” project for FREE. Also, he has a special offer which if you buy one project you get a second one for free…pretty nice. He is doing this in an effort to introduce his music to a wider audience.
Here are the details at his site.
