ideas for fund raising

[R1cho]

I wasn't actually thinking of doing this until late spring early summer perhaps when the kids are off school, not only will the weather be better but it will give ample time for organisation, sourcing sponsors etc. will also give me time to get appropriate documentation from both charities and also setup some publicity and a website that will take sponsership payments direct to the charities

explain what? If a plant grows it absorbs CO2, which is the main pollutant....but when its burnt it can't release any more than it absorbed. So if, for example, a tree grows and absorbs 10 tons of CO2, it will release the same amount when its burned - but the important point is that it releases that same amount when it rots, so why not burn it instead, hence 'carbon neutral'......

Fossil fuels sealed up the CO2 they absorbed tens of millions of years ago, so its gone from todays world - and when we burn diesel today we are putting extra CO2 back in the system.

SVO is roughly the same....you grow sunflowers, they absorb CO2, you make oil from the seeds, burn it and it puts its CO2 back into the environment - but only as much as it absorbed. There are a few chemical extras but nothing like the problems diesel or petrol create.

With it now?

so what about the oxegen that is burned in the explosion in the combustion chamber. the 2.7 litres of clean air it uses to fuel this fire

one way to do this is a pay and play site

speak to the local sites and tell them what you are planning and see what they say

well firstly, only about 20% of that air is oxygen, most of it is nitrogen...and the oxygen goes back to form CO and CO2.....

ok debating fuel burning etc. didn't want that, i was looking for ideas for fund raising for 2 very good charities, i can understand the pro's and con's of doing a drive that is so long, if people have a problem with this why not suggest an alternative instead of pointing out the negatives, if you have concerns about burning oxygen or fuel consumption fair enough they are your concerns and you want to share them, i was just asking for ideas about raising money for what i think are charities that deserve to be recognised for the work they do.
