Thank you for the informative and well written post on the importance of mangrove forests. It is very crucial the lost of these forests are realized and prevented in the future. Articles such as this get the word out. Let us hope it does not fall upon deaf ears. Coastal erosion is a major problem on the east coast of the US where I live.

It's beautiful! There would definitely be a way to engineer for it, but that looks like a lot of additional weight. I wonder what the additional amount of material is to create a building strong enough to support a green roof like that.

]]> Comment on Transportation Blog: Biodiesel by John A. Bel http://blog.uta.edu/~sxp4153/2011/09/20/transportation-blog-biodiesel/comment-page-1/#comment-270 John A. Bel Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:16:32 +0000 http://blog.uta.edu/~sxp4153/?p=346#comment-270 Suparkorn, Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, was somewhat of a visionary. He intended for his engine to run off of a variety of fuels. At the fair that it was introduced at, it ran off of peanut oil. I currently run B100 in a 1981 Mercedes 240D. The best vehicles for running biodiesel are the older '70s and '80s Mercedes diesels. The older Volkswagen TDIs also do a good job. As far as the gelling is concerned, you can add regular #2 diesel to biodiesel and create a blend. Even diesel #2 gells at extreme temperatures. The rubber fuel lines can be replaced with viton hose or fluroelastomer hose. Both types of hose are biodiesel resistant. Lastly, for biodiesel to make economical sense, many people produce it from waste fryer oil. There are lots of individuals that brew biodiesel in their garage or basement. Several people form co-ops because the waste fryer oil is becoming more difficult to locate. Large companies are purchasing it and selling it to feed companies to flavor animal food. An interesting fact about transesterification, is that the remaining glycerine can be used to produce lye soap once the methanol is removed. If you are interested check out http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=cfrm&s=447609751 it is full of valuable information. Suparkorn,

]]> Comment on Waste Reduction Blog: Recycling Codes for Plastics by Kim Gideon http://blog.uta.edu/~sxp4153/2011/09/06/waste-reduction-blog-recycling-codes-for-plastics/comment-page-1/#comment-239 Kim Gideon Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:55:31 +0000 http://blog.uta.edu/~sxp4153/?p=315#comment-239 Thanks for your blog on plastic recycling. I'm ashamed to admit that I've never taken the time to study the 7 categories and was unaware of the recycling considerations for each category. This information will help me make more infomred consumer choices. Still, it seems that I would do better if I make a greater attempt to reduce plastic purchases overall.

I like your idea of doing some kind of survey to see what kind of social media is suitable for target audience. There many SM tools and yet all do not fit each generation. Did a google search on social media for baby boomers and discovered there were over 30 sm tools. I also discovered that there are two dominant reasons why boomers use SM tools, to overcome health and mobility issues and to have fun.

That means, each social media platform is suitable for a specific generation. In my opinion, facebook suits for young generation because most of the use of this platform is to contact with other people. However, for the Boomer including my aunt most of whom are retirees do not use facebook that much or not use at all, marketing on facebook should not work for this generation. If you want to engage people in this generation you should do some survey about what kind of social media is most suitable for your target generation. It could be email, shopping online, newspaper/ magazine, website, TV, or radio online rather than facebook. Dear Prof. Lisa,

For example if you had written a book and are using social media tools to engage people with your book, what are some ideas you might try to engage different groups of users? Or would you just use one social media platform to reach all generations? Supakorn,
