The answer may seem obvious at first thought, but I’m not so sure. Keep in mind before you answer, the thermos has to be washed each day, adding detergents to the water supply and using electricity to heat the water or dishwasher. Also, the manufacture of the plastic or metal thermos certainly had some impact.

So, understanding all of the things that go into the life cycle of each product, can anyone give me a reasonable answer as to which is actually better for the environment? I truly want to know the answer.

Thanks.

Ever since I started hearing about it, I always wondered how using electricity hurts the environment. I understand like using an electronic things or a battery and throwing it away, but people also mention just normal indoor lighting and electronic things such as AC. How ecologically dirty can electricity be? It doesn’t do anything.

My school has a man made forest. This project has just been done late 2006. It was created by the Green Club where environment & saving nature resources is concern. But we have a fountain which reacts like a river. People ask me, is it environment friendliness just to keep the pump on all day to pump water out. I couldn’t answer them. So my question is, how do I pump water without using electricity?
