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

I would think that newspaper and glass is able to be recycled 100%

QUOTE (kcroxyoursox @ May 31 2008, 11:06 PM)  Throwing away one aluminum can, instead of recycling it, is the equivalent of pouring out something like 6 gallons of gasoline. 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. |
