From reading your blog, it sounds like you think global warming is due to automobiles only, when only about 25% of America's greenhouse gases are due to cars. About HALF of the greenhouse gases are generated by powering the electrical grid (your house -including your computer), a far more significant source. The only good thing about this is that its easier to turn off the lights/computer/TV than it is to change the length of your commute to work.<BR/>The point it - please recycle, and promote recycling in your community. And turn off the lights.Mike Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755664940109856290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195252627266209667.post-69339341984189972812008-05-11T06:50:00.000-04:002008-05-11T06:50:00.000-04:00love your blog---and found you through your desser...love your blog---and found you through your dessert comment at that's fit.<BR/><BR/>it was gutsy :) and I HEART the tellitlikeitis gusty.<BR/><BR/>M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195252627266209667.post-34318369561379510382008-04-26T13:17:00.000-04:002008-04-26T13:17:00.000-04:00I agree with you that the first two "R's" are the ...I agree with you that the first two "R's" are the more important ones.<BR/><BR/>We do pretty well at most of this list. I recently bought reusable bags, and *mostly* remember to take them in and use them, we reuse a lot of our packaging (instead of buying plastic baggies, we reuse the ones our tortillas come in, for example), I try to use natural cleaning products (but my husband likes his chemicals), we only cook meat at home a couple times a month. I don't know about #5, but we do buy well-made, high quality kitchen gadgets that we don't have to replace often. I'd love to buy local and organic, but I can't find many places here, and if I'm having to drive a long way for something, doesn't it defeat the purpose?<BR/><BR/>These are great reminders, and I'm trying to see what else I can do. I just saw a home yogurt maker, and I'm trying to determine if I would come out ahead on money and packaging if I were to do it that way. We've also started our own small garden to raise some veggies ourselves.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342743915340360009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195252627266209667.post-28670374998318698502008-04-23T12:19:00.000-04:002008-04-23T12:19:00.000-04:00Hello.
