The Hypocrite!

Today we found no change and no bottles and cans.

I was a little surprised to learn that the America’s leading force against global warming has been running up a hefty little energy bill to the tune of 30,000 dollars a year. Al Gore has been talking the talk but not walking the walk. Sure, there was mention of upcoming solar panels to be installed at his home, and the current use of energy efficient light bulbs, but that seems a bit after the fact, doesn’t it? Al, it’s not just about using energy from renewable resources, it’s about physically reducing your carbon footprint.

For starters, think about installing some energy efficient windows and appliances along with the solar panels. Owning a hybrid vehicle wouldn’t be a bad idea either, nor would properly insulating that mansion he and his family live in. Then there’s the recycling aspect to consider, like bottles and cans for instance, and how about using those low watt, highly efficient bulbs in every room, plus replacing those gas lanterns that surround the property. Do that, and then you make a real dent in the push against global warming.

Money Report – well folks, the crew at “One coin at a time” were temporarily derailed by some heavy snow that blanketed the area, causing all hands to suspend their search, not that we expected to find and any money out there anyway. We’ll be back at it tomorrow as the weather warms up and the melting begins.

Good Night and Good Hunting
