Oil leak plugged!

Well they finally did it. and it only took half a year. But the oil leak is plugged, and somewhere in our lifetime it will be safe to use the Gulf again. Hopefully there is still some oil left in the earth.

Always one to turn a negative into a positive, I think MAYBE we can salvage some good from this mess if we use it as a reminder to not be wasteful. We only get to ever have one environment, at least until moon times come. So we have to be careful not to cause waste and work together to protect and preserve what we still have. How can YOU help? Well, I'm sure if you look around your home or business or snoop around in your neighbor's yard you will discover a lot of wasteful elements in our culture. Here are some examples.

#1 there are a lot of wastes of PAPER. Who in hell still needs a phone book? Old people, and they're gonna die soon anyway. Look at how big and heavy a phone book is. It probably takes a whole tree to make just ONE. That is not right. Also why are computer magazines still being published? Nobody is reading about computers in a magazine, including computer nerds. They just read stuff on computers instead. So, get them out. (The magazines, not the nerds. Nerds are needed, like it or not.)

We also need to stop wasting FOOD. Restaurants should stop making those huge trays of desserts that nobody eats. Watermelon-eating contests are unnecessary, stop having them. If you build a snowman, use a button for the nose, not a carrot.  If you spill milk, you SHOULD cry over it.

Let's get rid of pennies! They are a waste of copper. We could be making PIPES with that.

and most of all, people should stop wasting fossil fuels.They are NON-RENEWABLE. That means you only get so much, like back when restaurants used to not refill sodas and you had to make it last.
