We recycle more than most people. Our trash bin only goes out about once
every other week, and then it's most often because it smells to bad to
leave another week. :-) Our recycling bin is so full, we're thinking
of getting another.

But those CFL's are a joke. They are an inferior product that is
waaaaaaaay worse for the environment than what the environmental harm
they purportedly prevent. Plus they are already outdated by LEDs. Plus,
they cost this country thousands of jobs that were sent to China and
Mexico because we outlawed incandescents.

Don't even get me started on the corruption between the White House and
GE concerning all these new green technologies. Job Czar, my ass.

While we're on the subject, someone did a study on the *true* carbon
footprint of the average electric car and it was about double that of a
gas one. Hilarious.
