Dear EarthTalk how can I make good use of the rainwater that runs down my roof and into my gutters?

EarthTalk[R]

Dear EarthTalk: apparently boxed wine (instead of bottled) is becoming all the rage for environmental reasons. What are the eco-benefits of boxed wine over bottled?

Dear EarthTalk: are plans to mine uranium near the Grand Canyon, as proposed by the Bush administration in 2008, still underway?

Dear EarthTalk: are the United States' vast oil shale resources a potential source of energy?

Dear EarthTalk: are there any flea and tick products out there that don't contain toxic chemicals?

Dear EarthTalk: aren't orangutans seriously threatened by the cutting down of forests?

Dear EarthTalk: as I understand it, hair salons are pretty toxic enterprises on many counts. Are there any efforts underway to green up that industry?

Dear EarthTalk: can you enlighten on the environmental impact of the fashion industry?

Dear EarthTalk: Celebrities and billionaires are shelling out big bucks for cutting edge green-friendly cars like the Tesla Roadster.

Letter to the editor

Dear EarthTalk: Do you have current facts and figures about how much rainforest is being destroyed each day around the world, and for what purpose(s)?

Dear EarthTalk: Do zoos have serious programs to save endangered species, besides putting a few captives on display for everyone to see?

Dear EarthTalk: don't some scientists point to sunspots and solar wind as having more impact on climate change than human industrial activity?

Dear EarthTalk: has anyone been tracking whether climate change is causing more loss of human life as it gets more pronounced?

Dear EarthTalk: Has anyone ever studied the environmental impact of discarded cigarettes? I'm constantly appalled at the number of drivers I see pitching their butts out their car windows.

Dear EarthTalk: has China been making any progress reducing its output of global warming gases, and/or in tackling other environmental problems?

Dear EarthTalk: has the recent violence in the democratic republic of Congo threatened the populations of lowland gorillas? how many are left?

Dear EarthTalk: how are heating, cooling and electricity produced by geothermal energy? I don't understand how it works.

Dear EarthTalk: How are populations of the world's orca whales faring these days? Are we still in danger of losing them all in the wild?

Dear EarthTalk: how can I recycle my old mattress if the place I buy a new one from doesn't take it? What do mattress companies do with old mattresses when they do take them? Do they recycle any of the material?

Dear EarthTalk: how does the microwave compare in energy use, say, to using a gas or electric stove burner to heat water for a cup of tea?

Dear EarthTalk: how is the fur industry doing these days? Has it been impacted by activism from PETA and similar groups?

Letter to the editor

Dear Earthtalk: hunting seems to be a real controversy among environmental advocates. Can you set the record straight: is hunting good or bad for the environment?

Dear EarthTalk: I am considering upgrading some older appliances in my home.

EarthTalk[R]

Dear EarthTalk: I am looking at possibly buying a house that is very close to a gasoline station. Is it safe to live so close to a gas station? What concerns should I have? I have toddler and infant babies.

Dear EarthTalk: I am very concerned about the amount of chlorine in my tap water. I called my water company and they said it is safe just let the tap run for awhile to rid the smell of the chlorine. But that just gets rid of the smell, perhaps, not the chlorine?

Dear EarthTalk: I don't eat meat, for a variety of ethical and environmental reasons, and I'd rather not feed it to my cat, either.
