Perhaps I shall combine all my trash, be it glass, paper, plastic, whatever, into a single garbage can without even so much as a passing thought to consider dividing it up into separate bins. My little town provides recycling containers. I have a bright red one. I use it as a cover for a pail of sidewalk de-icing salt. Works fine. I guess you could say I’ve recycled my recycling bin.
Gosh, golly, imagine if everyone would do this; we could cut the number of garbage trucks on the road in half. Save the Earth: Stop Recycling Now!
But wait! This just in: Wind farms are a-comin’ — I’ll just set my bright red recycling bin underneath one of these avian Cuisinarts and collect pâté. Hot off the wing.
Google wants to know what I will do for Earth Day. I told them.
UPDATE: 4/23 — Apparently Google was unimpressed with my suggestions. However, some of the other ideas are pretty funny. I wonder how these slipped by the Google greenie gatekeepers?
From Jody in Slovenia: Use an old fashoned encyclopedia instead of google so the server farm energy useage falls.
From Don in Slovenia: Light a wood burning fire and turn down the A/C to 68.
Gotta love those Slovenians!
