I posted that video as a visual aid. We can type our fingers off, but sometimes need a visceral nudge. That is what we watched every day for weeks on end as I live in the area affected by the BP spill.
I'm not really sure where to take this, either. There are so many issues that I've been wondering if maybe a forum would be appropriate. Then we could focus better on single issues. Maybe this thread can better serve as an overview and we can go more in depth later.
You bring up the water issue. All your suggestions are good and I've been doing those things already. I really like our HE washing machine. But it's more than that. Water issues are very dependent on where we live, though conservation is always a good idea. I've never bought bottled water....couldn't see the sense in it. The only exception was right after Hurricane Katrina and then we had no choice.
So maybe we should just ask Ann if a forum for these type issues is possible. No matter what we say here, this thread will go away. A forum would be a place to keep these subjects available for everyone to read or contribute to. |
