The Ecologist

Yesterday took a warm turn in environmental movement.

When me and my fiancé were at the hypermarket, I noticed they had sales on Low-Energy light bulbs. I've considered changing my light bulbs for a long time, it just hasn't happened. This was a good time. So, I picked the 11 watt lamp, which is equivalent to a 60 watt environment-hazardous bulb, and my excitement began to rise within me.



I [of course] changed the light bulb first thing as we stepped inside. Then hitting the switch, and tada, the warm light increasing by degrees. Amazing. After less than a minute, the light felt just as usual; consuming only ~1/6 the power resources. You really start doubting why this change isn't enforced by the government. The next generation will think of us as real madmen, gaining light from these [obviously over-devouring] pieces of vacuum content. Feels great to be on the track. Today, I will go buy more LE light bulbs; I would not be able to sleep with myself if I left a E27 light bulb socket with a environmental risk. Not a chance!

I must also [like I marked out like half a year ago already] point out that I'm recycling all garbage since I moved in here. Hard plastic, glass, pasteboard, sheet metal. Everything in it's assigned container. Gosh, I get the creeps when I think a couple of years ago, living in my first apartment. I mashed everything(!) down in the garbage can, and threw the bags directly into the container for inflammable stuff. Not a very smart way of taking care of ones waste disposal, now is it? One thing is for certain, I will never let my kids hear about that. How could I have lived with myself, acting like I had no respect at all for our next-coming generations?



Hail the environment.
Together we can make things happen!
