acro - there is so much in this spray that I don't know where to start - but no technology is risk free and never will be. Life is not risk free, and our society has made massive strides in limiting energy use compared to the 1970's. The graph is not going off the scale because technological progress makes things cheaper and more efficient each new generation, which for technology is only about 5 years. I am pleased that you like to live low tech, but I don't think that will suffice for most of the world's population.
Why is there so much pollution in northern tassie? Forestry is pretty clean.
