Gas Up – Miles Down
July 28, 2008
The latest stats just came out today from the Federal Highway Administration – Americans drove 9.6 billion fewer miles in May of 2008 than they did last May. Clearly the cost of gas is responsible for much of this, but the trend was moving down even before fuel costs really spiked. The combination of citizens thinking more about being environmentally responsible and the pain at the gas pumps has parked a lot of cars and trucks.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle when you can – Indeed
July 17, 2008
We opened our daily newsletter from Ideal Bite today and the first item was:
Quoth the Raven, “How long does trash last in landfills?”
Evermore. Like something out of a creepy poem, even biodegradable items like food can hang around in garbage dumps for years. Trash is packed so tightly that it doesn’t always get the necessary light, oxygen, and/or microorganisms it needs to decompose, so truly, we implore: Reduce, reuse, and recycle when you can. Ca-caw!
We couldn’t have expressed the thought of the day any better.
