BP's disaster in the Gulf Of Mexico

2010-06-17T12:38:00.000-07:00

the apocalyptic mega disaster unfolding in our Gulf Of Mexico was caused by greed. Greed: the love of money and power. Keeping us all hooked on their drug of choice, oil, and then rubbing our collective noses in it by reminding us that essentially, they're only giving us what we want.

What we wanted or what greedy big oil and their shills in government wanted.

There exists the technology for cheap renewable energy: solar and wind power and geo-thermal climate control. The drug pushers say that none of this works and that only oil is dependable. This is total BS and big oil and their waterboys and shills prey upon ignorance and fear.

The time is now to bring cheap/free renewable energy to our homes.

Who is polluting in your area ? check out this web site: http://www.scorecard.org/ for indepth information. People and companies who pollute are disrespectful lawless pigs who desire to inflict themselves on the rest of us who care. We don't own this planet. We have stewardship of this planet and it's resources, that is it. We have a responsibility to future generations to protect this planet when we can.

Do you have any good money saving tips for groceries ? I have been shopping at Aldi and I save a ton of $$ Eggs 1.39/doz. good quality. Bring your own e-bag. Also, plan a good size garden and learn to dehydrate and can. Walmart is good for a lot of household items and clothing, not prom stuff though. Sox and undies and T's .

It's time to plan your garden and may I suggest enlarging it ? Maybe you would like to raise backyard chickens. http://standeyo.com/NEWS/09_Food_Water/090218.urban.chickens.html

What ? No recycling bins ?

2008-06-30T11:32:00.000-07:00

Why are there no recycling bins in many apartment complexes ? Shame on the property managers for not insisting recycling bins be available next to dumpsters. Twin Oaks West in Joliet, IL needs to get with the program.

No business recycling programs ?

2008-06-07T08:34:00.000-07:00

I live in Naperville, IL and am surprised that such a progressive municipality does not have a coordinated recycling program for businesses. I have asked a few local business owners what they do with all their plastic and paper, etc. particularly laundromats, which generate tons of plastic in the form of soap & softener containers and they said that there is no program in place and it gets " dumped in the back " with the rest of their refuse. No sorting of items, nothing.
