Hmm...I see a flaw in my cunning plan.

[sarren]

I chose the excerpt about computers because I had been leaving both my laptop and my desktop in sleep mode most of the time, and I hardly even use the desktop anymore. Dragonfly's been reminding me to turn off the power at the wall for YEARS, but somehow in my mind computers just automatically got an exemption. So I was good last night and turned them off and then this morning I got up and it was too much effort to turn one on again to check my email and now I'm at work and clearly not working. *headdesk*

Must rethink this.


Another totally random example of stuff I didn't know -

...if your prunings and leaves go to landfill instead of composting, they will decay without oxygen, generating more greenhouse gas than was stored in the plant material as it grew.

On a related note, I just watched the eco-watch segment on CNN and it was about how 1/3 of waste in Japanese rubbish tips is leftover food :-( That is so sad on many levels.

Have you read about how environmentally unsound it is to be cremated? This is where I put my not so delicate foot down. I bloody well hope there will be a greener solution (freeze drying then crushing the body for eg) by the time I fall off the twig because there is no way I am getting buried! (Maybe I should save this rant for my own LJ...sorry...)
