Winter greens Winter greens Winter greens are green leaved vegetables, closely related to the cabbage, that are seasonably available in winter. Common vegetables described as winter greens are chard, collards, rapini, and kale. William Morgan classed Brussels sprouts, savoy cabbages and several varieties of kale as winter greens. Morgan grew these vegetables and compared their hardiness, identifying which species were most suitable for growing through cold winters. He presented his findings to the Horticultural Society of London in 1818. Late season crops "from October through December, a gardener can easily maintain and eat bok choy, pak choy (the purple pak choy is
Vegetable oils as alternative energy carbon dioxide (CO) out of the Earth's atmosphere to make vegetable oil. The same CO is then put back after it is burned in an engine. Thus vegetable oil does not increase the CO in the atmosphere, and does not directly contribute to the problem of greenhouse gas. It is really a way of catching and storing solar energy; it is a renewable energy. However, as with other "renewable" energy sources, there may be a (relatively small) carbon footprint associated with production or distribution of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is far less toxic than other fuels such as gasoline, petroleum-based
