re: #105 Cannadian Club Akbar

My high electric bill this year:$45
My high water/garbage bill:$20
My truck gets 23 MPG, but I like to walk to the store.
I run a filter system on my drinking water, therefore, no need for bottled water, delivered by trucks. And in plastic bottles.
I own enough clothes to do laundry only 3 times a month.
I rarely watch TV, so no power there.
I run 2-60 watt bulbs for about 5 hours a day.
I recycle.

My point? I use less resources then most. I don’t know how I stack up to others, but I bet I do better then most.

And the one time I called AlGore a douche bag, I got the down ding flu. Well, I guess I’ll get it again.
AlGore is a douche bag.

If we were to all pay attention & make an effort to reduce our energy consumption, where we could, I would bet the results would be amazing. Silly things, and old fashioned ideas. Turn the lights off, when you leave the room. Don’t automatically turn the printer on, when you turn on the computer. Use smart surge protectors & turn the appliances totally off, when not in use.

And, if the manufacturers could get on the band wagon…
My washer has an “on” light that remains on, even when the wash is done, until the door is opened. Dishwasher has a “done” light that cannot be turned off. Etc…
