| Quote from Bonkin on 2/28/2008 at 6:04 PM: No. I'm not green. But I once saw a guy that was blue on T.V.
I saw some blue guys in a theater. We were close to the stage. The blue guys made a lot of funny faces...things exploded and we left covered in fruit. |

Make your own cleaning products. Vinegar, water, bleach and Borax are amazing. Google "homemade cleaners" and you'll find all sorts of recipes. Cheap, non-toxic (for the most part) and easy to do.
you make your own vinegar, bleach and borax? I make my own beer and wine, but I don't use it to clean anything. It's probably cheaper to mix store-bought vinegar and bleach with water (and I do actually do this, for this reason) but other than that, I don't see the "green" connection. If it saves money, it generally saves energy, and generally saves material, and generally has less impact on the environment. That's a generalization, you understand. I don't get this green label thing. It seems a bit of nonsense. It's like "100% natural." - and how much sense that makes. |

I had a similar experience once. Except it was just 1 guy. And he wasn't blue. But there was still exploding fruit-and it was green! |

Sadly no. I'm trapped living in the suburbs with a big carbon footprint. So I'm just half batty. |

I'll start.
4. I bought a big plastic drum (250 gal?) that will be hooked up to the gutter system off my shed to collect rain water which will be re-used to water the garden and those pesky dog pee spots on the lawn
This is technically illegal where I live. In most of the American west you don't own the water that falls on your property. How's that for bizarre...

Does anyone else find it ironic that the Amish have a website?

The Tale of Sir Launcelot
FATHER: One day, lad, all this will be yours!
HERBERT: What, the curtains?
FATHER: No, not the curtains, lad. All that you can see! Stretched out over the hills and valleys of this land! This'll be your kingdom, lad!
HERBERT: But, Mother--
FATHER: Father, I'm Father.
HERBERT: But Father, I don't want any of that.
FATHER: Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. An' that's what your gonna get, lad -- the strongest castle in these islands.
HERBERT: But I don't want any of that -- I'd rather--
FATHER: Rather what?!
HERBERT: I'd rather... just... [music] ...sing!
FATHER: Stop that, stop that! You're not going to do a song while I'm here. Now listen lad, in twenty minutes you're getting married to a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain.
HERBERT: But I don't want land.
FATHER: Listen, Alex,--
HERBERT: Herbert.
FATHER: Herbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.
HERBERT: But I don't like her.
FATHER: Don't like her?! What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land. |

Actually, they have more than that. State laws require certain things out in the barn, so many Amish now have electricity in the barns for cooling the milk, etc. They will also have computers and other electronic devices out there too....just not in the house. We stopped in an Amish furniture store and they had lights, calculators and the guy sent his wife over to another building to make a copy. It is considered okay to use these things when dealing with the outside world. |
