Greener Earth

Well, you knew this was bound to happen, if someone cares for animals enough to stop eating them, they will also start thinking about how to help the earth. So, on my holidays I started to browse the internet to find out more about the earth we live on. One think I found out about was electric cars, I knew very little about how environmentally safe they are. One example I found was an electric car hybrid called the Prius. This car is considered to be a hybrid because it uses electricity for slower driving and gas for highway driving. The car can get 60 miles per gallon, instead of the average car's less then 20 miles per gallon.

That was my rant about cars, now onto paper! The world could reduce it's green house gasses by 36% if we converted toPWC (post-costumer waste) paper. This would cut down 2.2 million lbs of polution! Now thats alot of polution! Less polutionwould mean a cut down on health risks and diseases that surrounds polution. Deforestation is the number one cause for extinction, so if we re-use our paper we can safe endangered animals and keep those much needed trees that help us breath clean air.

*MOVIE REVIEW*
Yes, this will start to be a staple thing... that is if I get to see a movie between the time I write my blog. I just seen Sin City in Regina... without Mike, but he got to go to Mexico without Pilon and I. Anyways, This was a great movie. I loved the black and white film, it made it feel more like the comics. And it only used colour when it wanted to acent something, an example would be the Yellow Bastard's yellow face or dim light in the bars. The movie was close to the comics which they were based on. If you haven't read the comics, I advise you to "aquire" them before watching the movie. But even if you didn't read the comics it shouldn't hurt the viewing of the movie, it just enhances the watching.

9/10

I agree with your electric car thing. We should all take a lesson from the Prius. Also, I really want to see Sin City.

HYBRIDS SUCK!! I have nothing against saving the environment and stuff but it doesn't change the fact that HYBRIDS SUCK. I would not want to be in one of those when you crash....a beetle could take those things on.
