Good morning. It's the last day of April. The year is going by pretty quickly. We went to Texas two weeks ago and the trees had not yet leafed out around Stillwater and OKC. Now, it's green pretty much everywhere. Summer is here. Love it.
There have been alot of commercials and stuff about going green. Debbie and I heard a radio commercial about paper towels and how many trees need to be cut down to make the paper towels. The commercial was touting the recycling of paper products that can be used to make paper towels instead of trees. Alot of that is being done. Interesting thing is that alot of energy and water is required to bleach the paper products to prep it for making new paper products. Upsides and downsides to being "green".
Kinda like the push to use the pig-tail energy saving lamps and similar energy saving lamps (compact fluorescent lamps) instead of incandecent bulbs. Articles I've read about the energy saving devices state that those lamps contain mercury. Ruh-roh. Use less energy but put mercury in the landfills? hmmm.
Debbie mentioned that we need to find an alternative to toilet paper to help save the trees. People used corncobs in the past. She said we need to eat more corn. Um, I guess that will work. Modern man doesn't have a lot of corncobs laying around. Thinking about how to use that empty Delmonte can instead of the Charmen. Leaving the label on the can might help. Gotta think about that concept a tad more.
Have a good one.
