Comment on this post with "I love libraries" and I’ll give you seven things I want you to talk about. They may make sense or they may be totally random. Then post that list to your journal with your commentary. Other people can get lists from you and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

100 things to save the planet 009

Reading true green: 100 everyday ways you can contribute to a healthier planet. One suggestion: clothesline.

Dear homeowners' association: FUCK YOU.

An electric stove apparently produces double the carbon emissions of a gas stove. I'm always going to opt for a gas stove if I can, because we have had to cook dinner during too many power outages and gas stoves don't require electricity to run, just to light the burner (and matches do that too), but. Nice to know it's also the eco-friendly option. (But doesn't a gas stove run on fossil fuel, where an electric stove doesn't necessarily?)

Soon's I get upstairs next, I'm unplugging my cell charger.

I wonder if I'd be allowed to get a plant to keep on my desk at work? And if so, if it'd survive? I work in a basement. Lights are only on in my section while we're there, so forty hours a week, give or take overtime. There's windows, but. Basement. Not good light spread. But true green is talking about natural air filter, absorption of pollutants and radiation, reducing cold-related illnesses and stress...be worth it.

I wonder where my retirement money from the state is being invested. All I know is that it's going in a fund.
