what's basis of this?

We bought a Bosch fridge 14 years ago when most UK manufacturers were switching from CFCs to HCFCs which was a dumb move but was pushed by the chemicals industry and various governmental placemen.

didnt German manufacturers return to the use of alcohol as the refrigerant - it had been used prior to the development of CFCs?

Dear Friends,

Recall the words of a poet.

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
~T.S. Eliot

A new year has begun. We likely share the view that the movers and shakers in the human community cannot keep adamantly advocating and relentlessly doing the things we are doing now without precipitating some sort of unimaginable global ecological wreckage, probably sooner rather than later. A finite and frangible planet with the size, composition and ecology of Earth cannot much longer withstand the unsustainable pressures produced by the gigantic scale and anticipated growth of human overconsumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities worldwide.

Perhaps we will help one another in 2012 see the world in a new way and effectively give voice to an unforeseen and unexpected vision of ourselves in all our wondrous human creatureliness and of the world we are blessed to inhabit. If we can see anew the unchanging landscape before our eyes, communicate what is visible to us (something I continue to fail abjectly at doing), and act accordingly, then we have a chance to move in the direction of sustainable lifestyles and right-sized corporate enterprises, and to rescue biodiversity from the wicked jaws of extinction.

We are on a night sea voyage with only the light from the stars and the best available science to guide us. This missive began with words from Eliot. It seems somehow fitting to close with his words,

And do not think of the fruit of action.
Fare Forward.
O voyagers, O seamen,
You who came to port, and you whose bodies
Will suffer the trial and judgement of the sea,
Or whatever event, this is your real destination.”
So Krishna, as when he admonished Arjuna
On the field of battle.
Not fare well,
But fare forward, voyagers.

Always,

Steve

Kitchen rocks are ancient, yet avant-garde kitchen tools that can replace a dozen flashy gadgets, saving you money.

Want to reduce hassles over complicated electronic or manual appliances and their inevitable repair or breakdowns? What could be simpler than a rock in your hands? A rock that does everything that a sophisticated machine would do? It’s not an ordinary rock. Kitchen rocks are made of feldspar, quartz and granite, and they are multi-taskers extraordinaire giving a unique quality to anyone’s kitchen. However, a careful selection of these rocks must be made so that they fit in the palm of your hands and are not too heavy and not too light. Moreover the shape, surface texture and weight must be considered in order to function properly and perform the desired tasks with efficiency and ease.
Don’t be deceived by the simple look of kitchen rocks because they work magic in the kitchen. From crushing to peeling, pounding to splitting, flattening or tenderizing meat, a good kitchen rock does it all. That all-too-common but much disliked task of peeling garlic is not a fuss anymore when you use a kitchen rock. One hit and the peels come right off. Cook a tender steak at home, or break hard chocolate into smaller bits, crack open hard nut shells, cut a whole chicken into chunks and pieces, crush ice, all without resorting to expensive kitchen gadgets.
A kitchen rock adds an old-fashioned quality to your kitchen, a throwback to a more primitive time, a time when life was much simpler. We’ve seen them before, but have definitely underestimated the power of their simple yet efficient use. Kitchen rocks are a symbol of how man relies on his own hands rather than being a slave to machines.
Yet with simplicity comes efficiency! There is absolutely no compromise on the quality of the work that the proper kitchen rock delivers for its users. What can go wrong with such an ultimately simple tool as this? It’s a wonder, really. No fretting about where to plug it in, or electrical black-outs, setting timers, reading instruction manuals, or any of the time wasters that come with high tech gizmos. You bring this gem of a kitchen rock into your kitchen and voila! Problem solved. They are a must-have for all kitchens, and for all those who spend wisely.
You don’t need to be tech savvy in order to be able to use it with proficiency because this rock is the lowest-tech, most user-friendly solution available. So why not avoid using dozens of gadgets when only one is enough. Place it on your kitchen shelf and save space by removing all those heavy-duty one-tool-per-task gadgets from your kitchen: a crusher, a splitter, a cleaver, a mortar & pestle, and the others. After all, why would you want to spend hundreds of dollars buying complex machines for the kitchen then later another lump sum on their replacement or repair? The smart choice up -front not only saves you money, but also saves you the frustration over the loss of money later. Kitchen rocks are cost effective in every way.
