	Andrew	I registered months ago for the primaries. Too bad the media wouldn't give Ron Paul a chance to win people over. I'm trying to cut back on meat too. It's healthier that way.   Posted by Andrew on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 9:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Kristin	Even though I LOVE chicken, I have been trying to cut down on my red meat consumption, but boy is it ever hard heh. I SO love Maine lobsters though, if I could have them every day I would be one happy person lol.   Posted by Kristin on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 10:19 PM [Reply to this]

	largopredator	Hey Ali, it's great that you're calling attention to this problem. At my college we are busy working on building an interactive application to raise awareness for this issue, so I have been delving deep into the matter aswell. If we all come together on this, we can make the change. Keep on preaching! ~Tim   Posted by largopredator on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 10:30 PM [Reply to this]

	Joseph M III Joseph Martin Ii	I'll try to eat more seafood (come here little shrimpies.........!!!!) though as a Texan I am sort of attached to my steaks. And to those who want to do more than just vote, your favorite candidate or political party office could use all the help they can get. Or you can become an election worker and help at the polls on election day! It is not as hard as you might think. Until this year I had stayed out of political matters for 20 years, but voted in the primary, went to the caucus, was elected to the county convention, then was elected to be a delegate at the state convention. In November I will be an election clerk and am on my local precincts's election committee. It's a great way to gain some respect and appreciation for the whole process.....   Posted by Joseph M III on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 11:00 PM [Reply to this]

	Katherine	I totally agree with all the issues you talked about. I really think America should go green in every state more so than we are right now. I am also very excited about voting in the upcoming election since it's my very first! I hope you are also having a totally marvelous day! thanks Ali   Posted by Katherine on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 11:20 PM [Reply to this]

	Jack	Gorgeous, talented and a social conscience. You are amazing! For you I will start going meat free one day each week. Fish tacos are soooooooo YUMMY!   Posted by Jack on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 11:21 PM [Reply to this]

	Shivali	You're wonderful! Great musician, and an even greater person! [and that's saying something!] :D Lots of love and support, Shivali :]   Posted by Shivali on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 12:37 AM [Reply to this]

	Amanda Amanda Ned	its easy here in canada at the moment to cut back on meat, dead people, sick people, recalling meat. uncool stuff, have people throwing freezers full of meat away. I don't eat it too much myself, i am more of pasta and potatoes sure way to get plump im sure. apparently just turning your tap off while you brush your teeth saves our lovely lil planet just fine. i end up smackin myself tryin to remember the lil things i can do.   Posted by Amanda on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 12:40 AM [Reply to this]

	Marcuse	I don't think that environment worries about your steak, the irresponsible acting of the industrial nation is a bigger problem. But it's very kind from the cow's point of view!   Posted by Marcuse on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 1:08 AM [Reply to this]

	Brianna	As a die hard pasta/carbohydrates fan, I will be more than happy to participate in the reduction of meat consumption! I've actually never had tofu either, so it's a good opportunity to try a new food :D Also, since a recent seizure has left me unable to drive for a while, I've started taking the bus to work. I've got to say, I used to be kind of lukewarm on the idea of public transportation, but now I wouldn't trade it for anything. You reduce the amount of carbon emissions, and you don't have to deal with traffic jams. It's a win-win! Thanks for the reminder about registering to vote. I believe this is going to be the most important election of our generation so far, and I am certainly going to be a part of it. Thank you so much, Ali, for your passion for making the world a better place. We should all follow your example!   Posted by Brianna on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 1:24 AM [Reply to this]

	Jessica	Thanks for the info. That is REALLY interesting to know! I never thought something like meat could possibly contribute to global warming. I definitely want to see that article. I don't eat red meat, but I do eat poultry and dairy products. Mostly I just don't like the taste of red meat, and I've seen the way it's handled in documentaries, so that grosses me out (though the handling of poultry could be just as gross for all I know). This is definitely something about which we should spread the word! Let us know what you think of the Letterman book!   Posted by Jessica on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 3:15 AM [Reply to this]

	Sean Stafford	oh no! why would you start eating meat again? I've never understood the conversion back from vegetarianism... I don't think I COULD go back. The thought of eating another animal makes me sick! Anyway... Yes, there are lots of economic, environmental, health, etc... reasons to not eat meat. I just don't know why someone would go back to it...   Posted by Sean Stafford on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 6:45 PM [Reply to this]

	Mystical Artist	That's great that your so conscious of your impact on the earth. Cutting back on meat will definitely help with that, as well as help prevent animals from suffering. I went vegan for the animals but I think its great that it helps the environment too.   Posted by Mystical Artist on Sunday, September 14, 2008 - 12:45 AM [Reply to this]

	Kevin-K	Haha! It's getting cooler here in Holland.. But oh well, it's becoming fall! Serious... Hm.. I'm a vegetarian too, so that's something I don't have to change anymore. I don't know what to think about it. Of course it's serious, but there are factories that produce more CO2 than me in my whole life...

	Kim	Well, you have gotten some interesting comments to say the least :) I have a comment totally off subject. I just returned from a trip to India and wanted to let you know that business class in Lufthansa offers passengers various cd's to listen to. I will more than pleasantly surprised to see One Cell in the Sea listed at the top of the list of my choices under Pop/Rock. Since my flight was so long, I enjoyed your cd over and over. So thanks for making a rather unbearable flight bearable :) Enjoy your European tour.   Posted by Kim on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 6:02 PM [Reply to this]

	Joe	Take a look at the new edition of the Old Farmer's Almanac. It predicts that global cooling just may be underway in the decades to come. "We say that if human beings were not contributing to global warming, it would become real cold in the next 50 years," according to Editor-in-Chief Jud Hale. Established in 1792, the Old Farmer's Almanac is North America's oldest continuously published periodical. It isn't jsut some crazy right-wingers trying to combat global warming. It's a well respected, well trusted publication that is not only credible, but extremely accurate. Don't take my word for it, check out the article from USA today here. I don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but maybe, just maybe, global warming isn't the problem Al Gore preaches it is. Maybe we should all eat a little more meat...   Posted by Joe on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 2:42 AM [Reply to this]

	jamie Jamie Pisarich	Ali (and fans), Please read "The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Save Your Life and Your Environment" by John Robbins. It changed my life. I'm glad you are choosing to eat less meat. If only more people were informed about what we are really putting in our mouths and doing to the environment when we eat animals - including fish. I truly believe that this book will change your life too. I hope you take the time to check it out, and let me know what you think. Looking forward to the next tour...Love, Jamie   Posted by jamie on Thursday, October 02, 2008 - 5:59 PM [Reply to this]

	Summer Bummer Summer Watters	You may find this interesting since you seem to care about the bigger picture, and you talked about not eating most meat but still eating fish: http://www.fishinghurts.com/EnvironmentalConcerns.asp. I like fish too, even though know I should finish my conversion too vegan to make the ultimate positive impact... It's a slow a difficult process for me. Not to mention the gasses that are realeased, and the resources and energy that are squandered from raising dairy cows for our cheese, milk, and other such products. There are a lot of interesting tidbits here as well: http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/environment.html. But, just as importantly, I really dig your music. Glad I ran across your page today! :)   Posted by Summer Bummer on Friday, December 26, 2008 - 5:13 PM [Reply to this]

	Bill	Hi Finest, I have a green machine in my backyard, it dries cloths and uses no power, it's a clothes line (from 1952)!
