A few years ago, I had an idea for a website, I think it was going to be called “Are They Evil?”. Users would vote and comment on a company’s Social Responsibility - do they test on animals, use sweat-shops, etc.
There is a new website with a similar idea called Knowmore.org. The content is somewhat limited so far and it is wiki-based, which might be a problem for controversial topics, but I hope they are successful with the idea. They also want to create a browser extension that would warn you when you visit the website of a company that Knowmore considers bad. Kind of like the warnings you get when you visit a phishing site.
In preparation of building a vegetable garden in the Spring, we had started collecting kitchen scraps for composting but didn’t have a good place to put them. A couple of weeks ago, we built this out of some old chain-link fence left behind by the previous owners.
Now I feel like I have to save every little thing that might possibly be compostable. Did you know you can compost your dryer lint? When I eat a banana on the way to work, I feel bad for throwing away the peel. I guess I could walk around with a banana peel in my pocket all day but I’m not quite that crazy, yet.
I also recently heard that they are starting a community garden close to our house, which is cool, but I think our efforts will be tied up in our own garden this year.
I recently read that if Texas were its own country, it would rank 7th in the world for C02 emissions. Come on Texans, we can do better! Texas is known for being the biggest and best at everything and I’m sure if we put our minds to it, we’ll be #1 soon enough.
Get all office buildings to turn up their AC thermostats 5°. Employees will be happier, companies will save money, and CO2 production will be reduced. The world will be a better place.
