Insulating Paint!

Author: User ImageLinda  //  Category: Green Living
Paint the interior wall of your home and insulate at the same time. What is it?
It is an additive that you add to either interior or exterior paint and roll it
on creating an invisible layer of insulation. This process was invented by NASA.

It keeps warm air out in the summer and the warmth outside in the winter. It
adds a 50% increase to the reflective R value of a house. In the long run, it
can save you money on your energy consumption.

All you do is add some powder in with your regular paint, stir it up really Read more…

FDA Needs Labeling

Author: User ImageLinda  //  Category: Green Living
I do not know if you have heard about the latest FDA proposal.  So, here is
the skinny.

They are proposing rules that would allow the sale of gene-altered milk or
meat without requiring labeling.  You and I, as consumers, have a NEED TO
KNOW what we are buying and putting on our families tables.

Personally, I have not consented to be experimented with genetically-modified
foods.

As of now, we have no idea how the food from gene-altered animals would Read more…

Weekend To Do List!

Author: User ImageLinda  //  Category: Green Living
This weekend may be the last to get ready for winter.  So what do you do?

If you live in the north, your fuel bill ran approx. $977 last year and this
next year, it will go up to approx. $1182.  A huge jump at a rate of 20%.

So what can you do to reduce this?

You can change out the filter in the furnace. Rule of thumb is to change it
out every 3 months.  If you have a contract for your furnace, call and make an Read more…

Have your Latte Today and Thirst Tomorrow!

Author: User ImageLinda  //  Category: Green Living
The American coffee shop chain Starbucks has been accused of wasting more than 23 million
litres of water each day because staff are told to leave taps running non-stop.

The bizarre policy, which is aimed at preventing germs developing in the taps in its
10,000 stores worldwide, has outraged environmental groups.

Every Starbucks branch has a cold tap behind the counter providing water for a sink
called a “dipper well” used for washing spoons and utensils and the staff are banned from
turning the water off under “health and safety rules”, an investigation claims. Read more…

Birk Economics - Makes sense

Author: User ImageLinda  //  Category: Green Living
I don’t know this Birk guy, but I sure like his logic…  Something for the
Capitalists. Something for the “Spread the wealth Socialists.”  Makes sense to me!

The Birk Economic  Recovery Plan

Hi, Pals!

I’m  against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, Im in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.

To  make the math simple, lets assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man,  woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and  up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00. Read more…
