Comments Off They say that older refrigerators consume almost twice the power of modern refrigerators and that they contain gases that are harmful to our environment. I don’t how true this is – but this image is great. It looks like a refrigerator that’s had a great Christmas. Come to think about it for a moment – I am starting to look like that too.

It’s a sign of the times I guess. People are not the only ones being frustrated in this world. Of course, my feelings are that this bird shouldn’t be out trying to find trees instead of using light poles. My second thought is that we should be ground based lights that shine upwards and outwards rather than eyesores like this. Just my thoughts – I guess the bird would agree. Grow trees rather than grow more light poles!
There is frustration all around us these days. Plus Sized and Skinny Jeans – do they go together. Some people say yes – I am not so sure. It’s not that I am against plus size people – heck I am heading that way myself. I know I look horrendous in jeans. Perhaps I am shopping in all the wrong places!
Should I be in looking in a Franchise or Chain or Both? Chain stores are cheaper but their staff members are often rude and fairly short on any information when it comes to products. Franchised stored are often a little dearer (sometimes way dearer) but at least the people working there have a little more knowledge of their products.
How are these all related? Our society seems to be changing so rapidly. Take that poor bird. By the time it finds a tree it can peck away at, it’s bill will be so damaged from hitting metal it will probably not make a dent anyway. We are modernizing, but not to our advantage. There are a lot of plus sized people around – and I am becoming one of them. Why? Our world is so modern we don’t do anywhere near enough to burn of the energy we consume. We used to walk miles everyday. These days we hardly do any walking – at least, not meaningful. We want everything on auto – even our lives I think.
Take the Evolution of the Library. It used to be somewhere that we could go to do research and to borrow books. Go to a library now and you see computers, audio tapes and videos. These of course are being replaced by CD’s and DVD’s. Books – yes there are books but not as many now as ten years ago. Research – use one of the computers.
If you work at home, say as a medical transcriptionist, there are some Things a Home-Based Medical Transcriptionist Should Do – one of these is to get up and take a good daily walk. Sitting at a computer all day just leads to extra weight – I know, I am a classic example.
What we need is plenty of exercise, a winding back of some of the technology so we have to do some things ourselves. I wonder how many people actually grow their own fruit and vegetables these days. They say you need Healthy Eating for a Healthy Smile. The world needs healthy consumption for a healthy planet. It’s not just the birds that are becoming frustrated – so are we.
Right now – I am taking some of my own advice. I am off for a good walk so I can burn off some of this fat. With a sensible diet and plenty of exercise, I wont need plus size clothing, I can keep my smile, shop at my favourite clothing franchise and dump the library for my local bookshop where I can order books I like.
Comments Off Okay – so can we do anything about climate change ourselves. We can install water tanks to collect rain water; we can install solar hot water panels to heat our water; and we can install solar energy cells to generate electricity. There are a lot of articles around that promote solar energy – here is one that describes how to build your own solar panel system. Will it work or is it another beat up – you be the judge.
Beyond the shadow of doubt, solar energy has a lot of benefits. For instance, today many companies and big industries that depend on oil are getting worried because oil wells are drying up. In a few years, there will be no oil in the wells. As for solar energy, you will never have to worry of it being depleted. It will always be there, as sunlight is a very consistent source of energy. Fossil fuels emit harmful chemicals, which are referred to as green house gases into the atmosphere. These gases have led to global warming which is a crisis if not dealt with immediately can be disastrous. Read more
Comments Off Is ethanol a real solution for global warming or is it really replacing one product with another. This article discusses biofuels and their role in our future. Whilst biofuels could be one solution – what is never discussed in these articles is the effect of transferring food stocks to biofuel production. Will people go hungry so we can feed our hungry cars? You decide:
At the heart of the biofuels pros and cons debate is the fact that we need a great alternative fuel source as a planet. This source of energy needs to be efficient and able to replace oil as the primary fuel for vehicles and heat.
With global warming becoming more tangible for even the biggest skeptics, ethanol and biodiesel seem like the answer to the planets needs. Read more
