Posting this in case there are any left leaning environmentalists worried about climate change still reading CEHST.

 

We all presumably want to do what’s best for the environment, whether it’s recycling, avoiding food waste, driving more fuel-efficient cars, or anything else that we’ve been told will help. But what if we could do our part just by the way we order cocktails?

A new study published in the journal "Environmental International" outlines a novel way to help reduce carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions (harmful greenhouse gases): drink gin made from pea starch instead of the traditional wheat. This might be an easy way to increase efforts against climate change in the countries doing the least to protect the environment.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

I would prefer a climate friendly scotch

 

This is my favorite: https://thewhiskeyjug.com/scotch-whisky/edradour-10-years-review/

 

It's made in a tiny distillery in Perthshire, where my fiance is from. It's not fancy or particularly expensive, but I have developed a taste for it over the years. We shared some the night we met, so I am very sentimental about it, in addition to genuinely loving the taste. They only make 18 casks of it a week, so maybe that makes it more climate friendly? :D

Finally, a climate concept I can get behind!  Any brand recommendations?

You know, I am not a gin drinker.....bad experience first week of college so long ago.   I am more into beer.  Was wondering how it might work making beer out of pea starch or other environmentally friendly ingredients.  I have had beer that I believe was made out of skunk piss however.
