It makes no sense.<br /><br />Even when they label them I get confused. And trying to get the family to do it is almost an effort in futility! <br /><br />I don't think I want to know what goes on in a hospital. I have a tender stomach.

It drives me up the wall that where I live they will only recycle certain plastics and not others, as well as only certain glass and paper. So only about 1/8 of the garbage is recycled! And let me not even start on all the waste that happens at hospitals on a daily basis! <br /><br />Can you tell this is a hot topic for me? *L*Maithehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736355367685820325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-84588936934442848342010-12-06T22:08:36.119-05:002010-12-06T22:08:36.119-05:00I've pretty much ranted on the same things, no...I've pretty much ranted on the same things, not Disney, but the same ideas.<br /><br />Take the electric cars...I have mobility issues that make it safer and easier to drive/ride in a higher sitting vehicle like a small SUV or Truck.

I was just saying to my hubby how you often have the most interesting tales to tell.<br /><br />Today is no exception. I'm not surprised about the cruise ships. If they can't tell the truth about something as simple as recycling, I wouldn't doubt they'd lie to get a berth wherever they wanted to.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />So much for having a magical day!CJ Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369646691494182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-42741431687244865342010-12-06T20:29:20.645-05:002010-12-06T20:29:20.645-05:00Phylis,

Over here in Macau the hot water heater is all the way on the other side of the apartment and outside so it can take up to three full minutes to get hot water to the shower.<br /><br />Sorry. Not going to stand in ice just to be green! Not going to happen. So why did the designers do this stupidity? Why not make it closer to where you need it?CJ Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369646691494182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-81717681124453006362010-12-06T20:27:40.838-05:002010-12-06T20:27:40.838-05:00Miranda,

I'm sorry, Kermit, but if it comes down to feeding my family or being green, my family wins!<br /><br />That's why they should make it easier for families to be green.CJ Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369646691494182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-76606505534408692762010-12-06T18:33:16.695-05:002010-12-06T18:33:16.695-05:00I love your blog.

They should be cheap, but soy beans are used to feed cattle so the cost for humans is very high.<br /><br />Coal fired electrical plants, at least in the US are more polluting than all the cars and trucks on the road. Electric cars will increase the carbon footprint rather than lower it. The batteries used in all electric cars use extremely large amounts of power to make. <br /><br />I have read that it take more power to clean and re-manufacture aluminum than to make the original product.<br /><br />As for Disney, I have the same attitude that Maynard G Krebs had on Dobie Gillis. When Disney sought permission to dock their cruise ships in Port Canaveral they told the locals they would contribute to the Cape Canaveral area economy. Vendors at the piers would make money hand over fist from passengers. Didn't happen. Passengers are delivered from Disney or the Orlando airport directly to the ship just before sailing and returned as soon as the ship docks. The only people who shop locally (the mall, not pier side vendors) are Disney crew members as part of their perks. Since I was living aboard ship (government owned) at Port Canaveral I have stayed away from Disney like the plague. I won't even buy DVD's for the kids. My wife and granddaughter have to buy them.<br /><br />RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-64216890620795590332010-12-06T17:45:54.124-05:002010-12-06T17:45:54.124-05:00We have a recycle tote that takes aluminum cans, n...We have a recycle tote that takes aluminum cans, numbers 1 & 2 plastic bottles and newspaper. Tryng to get my family to remember to do that is very hard. I've actually caught my son tossing a bottle in and made him get it back out. I feel bad when I have to turn the water on and let it run to warm up when washing my face at night. I wonder what the solution is so that it is cost effective. We had problems with trying to buy groceries with low carbs and higher fiber. Always costs more.Phylishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488241803600921862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-38728495418913640122010-12-06T09:55:42.421-05:002010-12-06T09:55:42.421-05:00Oy!

Cringe every time I clean up the minute-ly messes with paper towels. I try to to remember my re-usable bags and recycle everything I can. Some help and guidance would be nice to move beyond the guilt and actually make some changes. Some energy. Some money.
