He doesn't answer any of mine.<BR/><BR/>I greatly fear that the whole issue has been politicized so badly, that band aid steps will be taken, and we'll move on to the next PC thing that strikes our fancy. Democrats are especially notorious for this.<BR/><BR/>Watch for any efforts in this regard, to be matched with colossal price increases. It's an excuse, and that's all business needs.The Future Was Yesterdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515544130113138363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768728.post-79072683756676361432007-06-07T22:25:00.000-04:002007-06-07T22:25:00.000-04:00That's a good start. We have become such a throw-...That's a good start. We have become such a throw-away society (thanks to great marketing programs) that it will take some time to change. Let's hope people get real serious before it's too late. I saw that Bush wants to make some moderate changes by 2050 = about 30 years too late.Peacechick Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808832340636218022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768728.post-45342403622894762022007-06-07T21:54:00.000-04:002007-06-07T21:54:00.000-04:00Conservation is not one of my strong points.

The wiring in my house is so old, the regular light bulbs in my bedroom explode every two weeks, it seems. <BR/><BR/>My dad is a mechanic, so I'm all over the car thing : ) <BR/><BR/>And like a fool, I just found out my community recycling program takes old magazines. I have a pile of fashion magazines about two years old sitting inside my entertainment center!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291982664925432847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768728.post-44769732259931071892007-06-07T14:20:00.000-04:002007-06-07T14:20:00.000-04:00i think the suggestions sound very sensible and do...i think the suggestions sound very sensible and doable (is that a word).

When Chimpy sends the Federal Government into default, our dollars will be worthless and we won't be able to afford the fossil fuels and waste anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
