Green Thumbs, Fingers, Arms....

All those years in the environmental club in High School paid off! It is now nine months into having my first house. I’m a rabid recycler/compost-er/garbage processor. I have been the thorn in J’s side about learning which bottles can be recycled and putting the compostables in the container for me to take out. I am quite proud of myself as it is, but I have been given another reason to feel puffed up with pride at my responsibleness.

Last night I counted how many garbage bag stickers I have left until the end of August. Our county runs our garbage pick up by the rule that you put out a bag it must have a sticker on it to be picked up. The ration of stickers for the year are sent out at the end of August and if you run out it’s $2 a sticker until you get the next years. When I moved in the yahoo’s moving out complained that they don’t give you enough stickers and that I would be taking some bags to work to get through until the next ration comes.

I HAVE ENOUGH STICKERS LEFT TO GET US THROUGH UNTIL MID OCTOBER!!!!!!!

I rock! We have been able to skip putting out the garbage because the can has been half full!

Did anyone else read the article on CNN about people protesting the wind farm because of the danger to migratory bird? Wind power is such an important investment into the world’s renewable “clean” power it's wonderful that companies want to put 170 windmills offshore at a time. Now some bleeding hearts are saying, NO NOT THE BIRDIES!!!!!

…

Well…yeah I guess they are important and a part of the environment too. But at the end of the article it mentions that people in Cape Cod are protesting a 130 windmill farm off the coast because they will be “unsightly”. I can be legitimately pissed at THEM!!!!!

Ciao for Now,
