Magnificence 2 years ago

Most of us on this list are quite motivated and don’t need extra incentives to be environmentally conscientious, but here’s a reminder of how beautiful this planet is and why it’s worth protecting it:

make a smaller ecological footprint (read all 3 entries…)

Scary stats 2 years ago

Found this in a news story on IHT today:

“Largely because of this habit [using a tumble dryer to dry laundry], a T- shirt in its lifetime will require the use of 1,400 grams, or 50 ounces, of fuel, produce 450 grams of waste that goes to landfill and send 4 kilograms, or 9 pounds, of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to a recent Cambridge University study. If the owner were to wash that T-shirt in warm (40 degrees Celsius, 104 Fahrenheit) rather than hot (60 degrees Celsius) water, and hung it out to dry, the carbon dioxide emissions created by that shirt would be reduced by 85 to 90 percent.”

The rest of the article can be read at http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/02/22/news/letter.php
No more tumble drying for my t-shirts!

exercise regularly

Day 1 2 years ago

...was today. I sneaked into the gym during the Sugar Bowl game, when the gym was empty and nobody saw me panting after only one series of weights. I wanna get back to my gym 3-day/week routine which felt soooooo rewarding.
