Wasteful
2008-01-15 04:40:00 Good thing the state of Michigan pays my roommate to recycle. He must go through 47 bottles of diet Vernor's a day. Hey, I know we have to consume to live, but seeing someone be so wasteful really disgusts me. Each day the medium sized garbage can in the kitchen is overflowing onto the floor with pizza boxes, fast food wrappers, individually-wrapped microwaveable everything.I've pretty much stopped using that trash can. I go back and forth from trying to take it out each day, to becoming jaded and apathetic -- letting it go for days at a time before finally giving in. At that point I need an extra bag to collect the overflow off the floor before taking it out. I have a small can in my bathroom that I line with grocery bags. That will hold most of my trash for the week.By the look on my face alone, you'd probably guess I have a lemon in my mouth as I step over an American cheese wrapper on my way into the kitchen. I push aside the ocean of plastic bottles and wipe off a spot...

Michigan's Loss Confirms the Wastefulness of Preseason Rankings
2007-09-03 07:55:00 Why does the AP and USA Today feel giddy that they need to rank 25 teams before the teams even snap the ball? What we saw yesterday wasn't a #5 football team in Michigan. At best, we saw a #22 team. The media should start ranking college football teams AFTER they play an actual game or two. That's

Wasteful Appliances
2007-06-16 16:12:00 I was doing some driving this morning and I heard a statistic on the radio that got me thinking. The statistic is that 40% of the electricity used in the average home is used by appliances that aren't even turned on.I'm not entirely sure, but I think that means something like your computer, which may still continue to draw electricity, even while it is turned "off" as long as it is still plugged in. I don't know all the mechanics of this process, I must admit. Hey, I'm a law student - not a science guy.It seems to me that if you want to save a good deal of electricity, you might consider unplugging some of your appliances, especially the seldom used ones, instead of just "turning them off."Food for thought.

Bottled Water is Wasteful!
2007-06-04 17:54:00 I think I might have mentioned this before, but I just found this article that my boss at work referred me to about: the wastefulness of bottled water. The article comes out of a research study at Oregon State University Corvallis, which states that every year "Around the world, factories are using more than 18 million barrels of oil and up to 130 billion gallons of fresh water"and that's just to make the bottles, "Another 41 billion gallons of water is then used to fill them." So why are we using more water to make the bottles then the actual amount of water being put into the bottles? This sounds incredibly wasteful.Lets take a double take on this statistic...18 million barrels of oil per year, and 130 billion gallons of water to fill 41 billion's worth in the bottles? Whoa! People, people, lets take chill on the water bottle usage a little...but we won't because every year bottled water consumption goes up about 9-10 percent.Please, please re-use the plastic bottles you alread...
