Since implementing stringent "green" guide lines in our home of 5, we have reduced our garbage from 3-4 bags to not even a tall kitchen sized bag a week. Every purchased item's packaging is revied of what part is recicable, items that we can compost we do and some items can be used again (Every bread bag makes a great lunch bag!) To the dismay of our recicling pick up crew we are now sporting 6 recicling cans in our driveway!!! Oh by the way,my three teenagers will take this lesson along with them as their move on in life and may be they will lead a less waistful life.
However too many times I see packaging materials that can not be recicled.
Why not introduce a tax to be paid by those companies that do NOT provide a recicable packaging material. In addition we should introduce a tax for those companies NOT using recicled materials for their packaging.
These actions would eventually force companies to use more recicled goods, increasing the production of these materials. Yes it would drive up the price of your favored cheap brand cookie because it's manufacturer now has to pay extra to use the cheaper packaging material. That's Ok though, its a small price to pay for becoming greener. Aditional revenues gained by the tax should be used to reward the greener companies and for investment of greener energy.
It is time to show the US what Obama is made of. They want a united party - no problem!! - Invite Hillary to be part of Obamas "Short List" for VP. Let her accept it in public.. or turn it down - UH that would make her look pretty bad!!!! oh well, Doesnt mean she is on the top of the short list!!
Is there anybody in europe who would endorse him in public? I would think so, put that on TV with the added comment of ".. who is better fit to unite the US with the rest of the world....."
For smiles (On Saturday Night Life may be...) ".. It is in the middle of the night, the phone rings who answers the phone? ... Bill, I want to answer the phone, no Hillary I want to answer the phone, no I, no I... - oh forget it Barak already answered it!"
