When he brought up the guys reducing the cost of lift it was the first thing that came to mind. Like would it come back to haunt us like in Futurama with some gravity **** going on?

i mean as it is it's extremely expensive to leave the earth's orbit. so yea they can try to reduce that but imagine the amount of trash produced vs the amount that could fit in even the biggest rocket. i'm no scientist (surprise surprise) but i can't imagine that would ever become a feasible solution before we discover some more pragmatic way of dealing with trash. unless we ditch the rockets all together and develop some sort of giant sling shot or cannon or some**** that flings our **** into outer space

i remember there was some bacteria discovered in south america that ate plastic or some **** like that...

Was a fungus. Weighed against the long term cost of storage shooting trash into the sun is still unreasonable expensive though lol. Best solution for now is just recycling more so the landfills don't build up so fast. Some of the ideas are fun (and crazy) though. Like if that whole fission thing ever gets ironed out putting the plasma to garbage and rendering it to bare elements.

I'd have never guessed Earth Day would rub people so wrong.

I seem to remember reading that for every pound you put on a space shuttle, it meant like a million more gallons of fuel had to be used (or whatever unit of measurement they use for fuel).

**** the Earth. It's full of losers. Just look at this site.

probably kiloliters or some other commie metric system bull****

Do you guys want to make a pact to go out on Earth Hour and just drive around for no reason?

Nah, let's just leave our cars running until the batteries run out, put one sock into the laundry machine and put in on full cycle, and use paper towels instead of sponges.

all bull**** aside, you want to know my one contribution to the environment?

i try my best not to use plastic bags when i'm in stores.

i'll still use them if i need them. like if i'm buying more items than i can carry out then yea i'll take the bags

but there seems to me something absurd about buying one or two items and having them put it in a bag. like i'll buy a single tube of toothpaste and the bitch will put it in a bag so i can carry it out. the **** do i need handles for to carry out a ****ing box of toothpaste?

so i always tell them no bag if i don't need one, and they look at me like i'm pulling some sort of strange stunt. really get the most puzzled looks telling some bitch at walmart not to bag my 2-3 items. sometimes they even give me an attitude cause they already put the **** in a bag and then i take it out.

it's pretty funny to me. cause the only reason i can think that an adult human would use a bag to carry out a box of toothpaste is social convention. that and the store uses it to help them identify who's paid and who hasn't. but that's not my problem, is it? figure out some way to track your inventory that doesn't involve creating needless trash, ya c*nts.

anyway, that's my one contribution to the environment. and i realize it makes no difference but it just feels so ridiculous for me to use a bag to carry out 2-3 items that i refuse to do it.

You are a true American hero. **** Martin Luther King.

Just go the distance, buy a couple of those collapsible reusable grocery bags. Feels weird at first bringing your own bag to go shopping but a lot of people go to Walmart in yoga pants so screw it.

I still do what Captain Planet taught me when I brush my teeth. Turn the faucet on only to wet my toothbrush and rinse my mouth out as opposed to leaving it on the entire time.

nah i can't be bothered carrying in my own bags

then i have to get the cashier to use those instead and ****

and then they'll hate me even more

honestly i feel i've done my part by abstaining from using plastic bags except when it would be inconvenient for me to do so

Dude, Captain Planet had a mullet. **** him. I leave the tap on till the water's hot. Can't brush with cold water or else the toothpaste doesn't want to, like... dissolve or some ****.

A sinkhole is going to open up beneath you while you sleep.

Guess what else? I do the same **** when I'm pouring water in a pot. If you wait till it's hot before you fill it then it'll take less time to boil. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!

I wanna say i'll do it but i'll most likely forget about it.

I'll probably be the only guy in my condo doing it cause i doubt ppl here are aware of this..

Yup. I turn off the shower while I'm soaping up. That saves a ton too.

What kind of crappy toothpaste you using?

when i lived in florida there was a brief period where i was basically squatting and the water got turned off so i had to use bottles of distilled water for everything. made me appreciate water a bit more

but then my friend gave me this metal tool to turn the water back on so i would turn it on whenever i needed to use it then turn it back off so when the city noticed water being used and came out to shut it off they'd find it already shut

Earth Hour just happened in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. its happening right now in Russia. in 2 hours, it will happen in London.

My lights are always off anyway, I like the dark.

in 10 min, the east coast will go dark

All the electricity in my house is off 8 hours a day during bed time.

So.. Hows that extra hour going to change much on average? Other than being a huge inconvenience to me.
