Do Pharisees use CFLs?

We went to the recycling center the other day to pick up some finished compost. We had finally moved into place some retaining wall bricks around a shrub, and needed some back fill. We reclaimed the bricks from a neighbor who didn't want the flower beds the previous owners had built and offered them to us. Good recyclers that we are, we hauled them over. They made a nice border around the shrubs we dug up from an old farmstead that was being turned into a new development, the iris bulbs I got on Freecycle, and the lilacs a friend dug up for us on his farm. At the base of the shrubs I laid the branches I had trimmed from the red cedar, another rescue from a construction site. No sense in wasting good biomass, and a good drainage additive as well!

We loaded shovels and tarp into the Subaru (that's what we earth-friendly greenies drive, not because it's less carbon emissions, just 'cause it makes us look cool.) We brought home several loads of finished compost - rich earthy soil made from other peoples grass clippings and weeds. The county does a lot of work chipping it up finely, and turning it over so that it composts quickly. I'm not sure how they do that. Maybe a gas powered grinder? I bet they have a bobcat or even a backhoe to do the big piles.

It was hot and sweaty work getting it unloaded and into the bed. We took a break, headed inside where it was air conditioned, and cracked ourselves a couple of ice cold sodas and drank them straight from the aluminum cans.

It sure feels good using your muscles, "living off the land", and saving the planet. All that recycling and reusing we did today sure goes a long way toward keeping the earth safe.

Global warming...

We could use some. It's been the coldest, snowiest winter we've had since I was a kid. Out heat bill is astronomical. I can't see out one window due to drifted snow.

Greenhouse gas? I'll give you greenhouse gas. I had to make a pot of chili with red pepper just to warm us up. There's your greenhouse gas! Feeling better already?

Green Movement as Religion

The green movement seems harmless at it's worst, and "good for the earth" at it's very best. But it has taken on all the trappings, mind-control and power-hunger of the worst religious or philosophical dogmas.

Whatever it is, I'm against it.

I believe some hidden cameras captured the Minnesota congress at work. See the video here!
