Quote:We can use extensively refined "inorganic" fertilizers - you'll find no lack of protesters here along the lines of raping the earth, destroying habitat, poisoning the planet and ourselves
This will not make a difference.. because it's the bacteria that thrive on fertilizers that cause much of the problem.. And what amount of processing does inorganic fertilizers entail vs organic? Can someone show inorganic fertalizers having a negative effect vs positive? So far I see either no difference, or change.. If it's a healthier life then fine, but don't fool yourself in thinking it will make much of an impact on the supposed argument. :/
However, my point to this person is that no matter what you do here, you are competing for resources and killing life just to take another breath. It's rather irrelevant what game you want to play to justify it morally or ethically.
