What do you think Santa has to say about coal emissions?

coal in stockings?

We all know the old story, if you are good Santa Claus (or Father Christmas, depending on where you are from) will put toys and presents in your Christmas stocking and if you are bad, you get coal.  But what do you think Santa Claus does in this day and age?

I’m sure Santa Claus is a reasonable man….he is a jolly ole’ soul, right?  He wants to ensure the children (and adults) are happy and healthy.  Coal doesn’t exactly promote happy and healthy living – whether it’s coal put in someone’s stocking or burning coal in a power plant (which produces at least 40% of today’s CO2 emissions).

I don’t necessarily think Santa was wrong, at the time, for putting coal in the stockings of bad children.  I know in earlier years, coal was used quite often – in industry and in homes to fuel coal-burning stoves, etc., but times are constantly changing.

Nowadays there are many ideas about how to “clean up” coal to help make it less harmful to the environment – some expensive and complex while others like Green Pluscombustion catalyst are more cost-effective, efficient and relatively simple to implement.

But no matter what, I think Santa probably has a more biofriendly way to let a child know if he/she has been naughty or nice.  Let’s face it, I mean, Santa still rides around in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, which has to be good on his fuel economy and keep the harmful emissions low.  We know he’s thinking green.

So, what do you think Santa puts in stockings of bad children these days?  And what do you think he has to say about coal emissions?

A fuel additive is a fuel additive is…a fuel additive?

fuel additive

Anyone who reads this pretty much already knows that isn’t true.  There are so many companies and so many stories out there about what works, what doesn’t work, how you can make fuel additives yourself, etc.  Everyone wants you to use their fuel additive not the next guy’s.

Some claim to lower your fuel costs, others state they will reduce octane number requirements, some guarantee up to 90% decrease in emissions, while other talk about increasing mileage.  There are probably MANY workable and viable fuel additives on the market.  As far as I am concerned, if it helps to lower harmful emissions and improve performance (of course an added bonus of better fuel economy is great too), then it probably is worth checking out.

The fuel additive industry (for the most part) is trying to provide a solution for an existing problem.  And yes, everyone could go out and replace their existing vehicles with hybrids or gas stations could swap out their existing pumps for biofuel pumps.  But is that really going to happen in the near future?  No, it’s not – there is headway being made for sure, but like a lot of green advancements, there is a lot of room to grow.

Now I’ll be honest, I do work for Biofriendly Corporation and so I am a little biased in terms of my feeling that Green Plus (which is not just a typical additive but an actual combustion catalyst) is the way to go.  However, there is one important fact to keep in mind….there are so many millions of vehicles on the road and so many millions of people driving them, if even just a portion of them used a fuel additive….any workable fuel additive (with certified test results to back it up)…the world would be a lot cleaner.
