The DPT Green Corner salutes this season’s silent Green Hero:
Desoto Park’s Light Post #3.
If you played any game on Field #1 (affectionately known as “the
Mud Pit”), you’d have noticed that a shadow effect came into play. That’s because Light Post #3 was never
on. Not only did it add an “obstacle”
into the kickball game with the “shadow effect”, which increased the Fun Factor
of trying to catch a partially light Kickball, but it also helped minimize our
CO2 consumption per game. By just how
much, well, now that’s the fun part when we do the math. YAY!:
Let’s
assume 1 bulb had a power rating of 1,000
Watts, and in general 1.7 pounds of
CO2 is produced for every kilowatt-hour of electricity, so:
153 lbs of CO2 saved!
That’s like offsetting Litman’s CO2 emissions for a whole
day!!
I also want to personally thank those that helped recycle
this year. By using just a fraction of
conscious effort in throwing a beer can into the blue bin instead of the trash
can, you’ve helped keep this world green, and also help lower the price of
American consumer goods, because it’s much easier to get aluminum from a can
than digging it out of the Ground; way easier to turn a cardboard beer box into
a newspaper than cutting down a tree to do so.
Thanks

One of your better posts, Todd! Thanks for bringing the Recycle Bins every week because lord knows the rest of our lazy asses wouldn't do it!
Agreed Todd. Much props to bringing those out each week. I'm always glad to see them full.
Jess you just liked my fancy mathematical conversion equation... NERD
guaranteed todd believes in Chemtrails
They're contrails, not chemtrails. I'm a level headed person that accepts refutable scientific evidence accumulated from an overwhelming majority (99%) of top scientists from around the world.
But you're grossly inaccurate comment is thus ammusing.
