Good Stuff

I just saw a report that New Jersey is hand delivering light bulbs to all households in the state. All, and not the el cheapos, were talking about those very nice mercury filled florescent ones!!! I like this ideal. We need to be more green!!!! I really like it when we substitute one evil for the next. I think if we are going to go to a mercury filled light bulb we must recycle them. That means big signs on the the box, REALLY BIG SIGNS AT THE LIGHT BULB ISLE IN WAL-MART, and as bad as I hate to say it but an ad campaign. Look folks, if we all use one of those it would help, if we changed 100% it would help alot, but what the hell are you going to do with all of those bulbs that contain mercury???? Yes I know, that there is only a small drop in them but multiply that by 12 bulbs? Times 150 million American households. That's alot of drops, in the water that my daughter has to drink. And maybe grandkids in about 90 years, any sooner and I goto gail, lol.

Look, good ideal, not going to work. It's like asking me to use this light bulb because it's better and more efficient, but when it blows then what? You want me to hang on to it until I have enough to make a trip to the recycling center? Not gonna happen, so do I take it by its self? Now, where is the carbon footprint? Needless to say the thing is going to end up in the trash. Most people are going to say F it and throw the thing in the trash.

My hugh 600 sq ft apartment has 13 bulbs. That's 600 sq feet people, now count your bulbs in your house. You guys can tell by reading the blog that I'm not a tree hugger, but I do want a place for my kiddos!!!!

Only way this works.... We make the Wal-Marts of the world to recycle these things and then the cost sky rockets. But back to Jersey!!!! Did I mention that I was born there? Haven't lived there since then but I do still have family that does. NJ is what, the top 4 in highest taxed states in the nation? 11% state payroll tax, 11%, that's above federal income, sales tax, ect....

And oh yea, everyone has seen those plastic bag recycle bins at Wal-mart, how many of you have took your bags back??? Or do you just throw them in the trash?

Did I mention that if those STUPID, STUPID, STUPID STATE CONGRESS PEOPLE don't increase taxes by midnight that the state government shuts down? That's right, if they don't agree on a budget tonight they shut down. Funny how they have money to send light bulbs to everyone.

People, I'm telling you now, I'm not gonna make it until 2012. This stupid nonsense will give me an aneurysm by then. WAKE UP!!!! TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!!! MAKE A STATEMENT!!! DON'T JUST LAY DOWN AND IT THIS NONSENSE HAPPEN!!!
