Let's see how we all live. Some of us act like we are super eco-friendly and others act like we don't give a fuck about the environment. Be honest with the data you input. Let's see where this goes.

gotta love public transportation, and also you HAVE to recycle your stuff in korea. if you put recyclable materials in the trash, you get fined. and yes it's enforced and easy to find out, because you can only dispose of "trash" in special trash bags that you have to buy from the stores. --------------------  |

QUOTE (impala454 @ May 29 2008, 10:54 AM) geez 90 miles per day and you still ended up at only 45,000? Our electric bills and such are cheap. We live really well. The only thing that drove that number up was the driving. I don't drive at all unless it's half a mile here or half a mile there to get something really fast. So for two people, I think our carbon print isn't that bad at all considering. If I wasn't locked into this damn lease, believe me, I would be living in San Antonio right by his work. We have no choice right now if we want to live together. I left the decision up to him since he is the one that has to do all the driving. He said that not living with me wasn't an option.

The average electric bill for this place was $65, but then we started setting the AC at 67 degrees when we sleep (feels great!!!) so our bill went up a bit. I entered the average as 80 on this test.

Oh I know. I love having a nice super chilled room and then being under the covers. Nothing feels more relaxing.
I wonder if drinking water is technically considered bad for the environment.... We just can't stop doing that. I mean, I guess my point is, we all shit. We all piss. We all eat. We all drink. Life naturally wastes resources. Being all hissy fit about every fucking thing we do possibly harming the environment is pointless. |

i recycle everything, usually twice (reuse, then recycle) and only use 25 watt energy efficient light bulbs. I ride my bike a lot, but still, could probably ride more. |

Drive 60 miles a day to work. I said I recycle everything because I don't use any of that junk to begin with...no newspaper, no glass, no cans; I did say I don't recycle plastics though since I use 'em and don't. Part of it's flawed, too. If you drop your heating thermostat by 20 at night, it's probably going to be the same as dropping it by 50 - it's not going to come on either way. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

I've started to recycle glass, paper and aluminum but i'm too lazy to recycle paper -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

45,290. I guessed on Jason's truck stuff since he drives for work and it said the more-used car.
I read something the other day that said aluminum is the only material in the world that's 100% recyclable. Throwing away one aluminum can, instead of recycling it, is the equivalent of pouring out something like 6 gallons of gasoline. -------------------- Forget regret

No offense, but these kind of statements are dumb. I'm hearing these more and more with all this green crap, and the correlations being drawn are getting absurd. I heard someone on the radio the other day say that one cup of coffee takes the equivalent of like 3,000 gallons of water for its "full life cycle". I also keep hearing the "if everyone would just replace X with Y, it'd be the equivalent of taking Z million cars off the road." Why these things have to be marketed in such a way is beyond me. Just the same ol' "big, impressive numbers" are what get people's attention thing again I guess. |

well people will just take shit at face value so it doesn't matter what you say. reminds me of the penn and teller thing where they got the treehuggers to sign the ban on dihydrogen monoxide. i bet i could come up with some bullshit and spam it all over the place and get it accepted as fact by 90% of people who read it. how about this:
"Don't flush your toilet until it's full. If everyone in the U.S. would do this it'd save the equivalent of 50 million trees in the rainforest per year." |

I prefer to flush though.... I mean, that's one area where I DEFINITELY draw the line at being eco-friendly

How did I know it was sewage? 1) It stank like ass and 2) There was soggy toilet paper all over the ground. It was very unsanitary. It happened 3 times in a month, and it was annoying as shit having to walk to the gas station to go pee. And having to jump from my front door to clean sidewalk outside. Yeah, not fun Oh and the toilets have sucked at flushing since I moved in, so either the person before me took madd shits OR the water pressure just sucks because that's the way it was built |
