Researchers: Baking impacts Puget Sound

**Adri** · 28th December 2006, 06:57 AM

SEATTLE - Researchers at the University of Washington say all that holiday baking and eating has an environmental impact — Puget Sound is being flavored by cinnamon and vanilla. "Even something as fun as baking for the holiday season has an environmental effect," said Rick Keil, an associate professor of chemical oceanography. "When we bake and change the way we eat, it has an impact on what the environment sees. To me it shows the connectedness."

Keil and UW researcher Jacquelyn Neibauer's weekly tests of treated sewage sent into the sound from the West Point treatment plant in Magnolia showed cinnamon, vanilla and artificial vanilla levels rose between Nov. 14 and Dec. 9, with the biggest spike right after Thanksgiving.

Natural vanilla showed the largest increase, "perhaps indicative of more home baking using natural vanilla," Keil and Neibauer wrote.

*rants for pargraphs to come about Washington state and the people "in general" but removed it =P*

Yeah I suppose to smell of the cooking would effect the enviroment as they said... there is tons of Salmon out there, or heck tons of other wild life. They kind of have rain forest there actually, HUGE trees... beautiful state really just wish it was better when I was there >_< *holds her tounge*

Sounds like some scientists are desperate for some real work. Maybe we could get the CIA to kidnap them and force them to clean latrines at secret CIA bases around the world, or something similar. :grin:
