Earth Day, April 22 - Stormin Mormon - 2009-04-22 19:59:00

For Earth day, I drove around in a 1995 Chevrolet van, 
releasing carbon dioxide. I serviced coolers that contain 
freon. Didn't release any, I just did electrical work on 
them. I helped capitalists sell consumer goods to people. 
Consumer goods manufactured with petroleum and energy and 
natural resources.  I used gasoline, oil, electricity, 
worked on freon units, and drove on rubber tires. I filled 
the gas tank of my van with irreplacable fossil fuel. I 
turned on lights when I got home, thus ordering the use of 
nuclear fuel at the local power plant. I spent time on the 
computer, enjoying the information age. As it gets colder 
tonight, I'll burn natural gas in my furnace (I can hear it 
behind me....) thus spewing recklessly more carbon monoxide 
and carbon dioxide into the air.

Life is good.

well,nuclear plants are used in baseload operation,and coal-fired for 
adjusting load with changes in demand. 
so,you probably used coal and spewed more carbon into the air.....B-)

right now,I've got my incandescant lamp illuminating my keyboard.
a wasteful 130v bulb(lasts -much- longer) on a dimmer. 

the last 130v bulb in this fixture lasted 15 years.
One 130v bulb in my bath has lasted 23 years.
they don't make them like that anymore!

I ate chili and generated natural gas to offset your actions. Nice working

CY: I can just hear all those plants hungrilly sucking up 
the carbon dioxide, and turning it to simple sugars.

a wasteful 130v bulb(lasts -much- longer) on a dimmer.

CY: Now, that's a good way to go.

the last 130v bulb in this fixture lasted 15 years.
One 130v bulb in my bath has lasted 23 years.
they don't make them like that anymore!

CY: Try keeping the bulb dry, they last longer that way. 
Don't have the bulb in your bath tub with you.

Did you buy carbon credits, or are you a polluting scofflaw 
like me?

If it wasn't for a small snafu, I would have taken delivery of a new
fossil fuel guzzling, pollution belching 8,000# diesel truck today...
Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

I fixed two refrigerated make lines today and
picked up a power supply for a wireless router
I have to install for someone. The worst thing
I did was fart a lot. I have been spewing many
milliliters of methane and hydrogen sulfide gas
into the open air and regretfully, some confined
spaces causing several episodes of retching and
fainting spells for those around me. I can always
tell when my flatulence is particularly pernicious
because IT BOTHERS ME. The discolored foliage and
birds dropping from the sky is another exceedingly
odiferous clue. This has been going on for several
weeks now and has caused the destruction of a fair
amount of upholstery and at least one evacuation
of a crowded public place. I'm not sure what to do,
I've tried every normal remedy except for a flare
stack on the roof of my home attached to rubber
shorts with a flexible hose. I may have to use a
draft inducer for it to function properly. There
are activated charcoal underpants but I'm afraid
the things would be overwhelmed by the sheer volume
of my tailpipe emissions. Perhaps a catalytic
converter from an automobile, but those have to be
fairly hot in order for it to work and I could burn
my backside in the process. The incredible volume
and high velocity of the escaping fumes is quite
painful because of the violent slamming open and
shut of some very delicate tissue which comprises
my posterior orifice. I don't know what to do
except to move away from other people until this
problem abates but a lot of wildlife could be
decimated if I moved to a rural area not to mention
the possibility of severe crop damage. I'm at a
loss as to the proper course of action I should
take.

Dunno how much of your diet consists of beans or other legumes, but if 
it's a significant amount, you might want to look at cooking methods 
that reduce flatulence.

Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time finding this information out there 
in cyber-land. Years ago I used to listen to Bay Area chef Narsai 
David's 5-minute reports on KCBS (all news), and in one of them he told 
of a sure-fire method of cooking beans so as to eliminate flatulence. 
The method came from some ag school in the Midwest, and involved soaking 
the beans for a certain time, draining the water, etc.

I did find this link dealing with the topic: 
http://www.nutraingredients.com/Research/Ferment-beans-for-better-nutrition-and-no-flatulence-experts-tell-industry
Who knows--may reduce your flammability index.

My computer is in the basement with very little ambient light from 
windows. I have a Logitech keyboard with back lit keys. I do have a desk 
lamp with a 13 V CFL lighting the desk top to find things. The only 
other lighting I use in this basement on a regular basis are the 
stairway lights, which are only on after dark.
