Another day of school down, another lot of rubbish thrown into the bin. Another day where we have to wonder what to do with ourselves on holidays when we won’t be figuring out maths equations, or learning about the world’s history. A day when my mum and dad had fought over money. A day when I wish I could close my eyes to the world and live in my own space. Does anyone else feel like that? Well, that’s what I felt today. And sometimes, you just think. What’s the point? What’s the point about learning a hundred different types of maths problems when in reality you only need three or four. What’s the point in studying for a science test if your future doesn’t even involve science. Don’t ask me why I’m writing this. I’m tired, and honestly don’t feel like doing much. But enough of my blabbing, you don’t need/want to hear of my problems, so I won’t bother you with them. Well, really the only problem you should be interested in is the one where cities are filling up with rubbish. According to the Victorian government,  the councils spend around $35 million sweeping streets, emptying bins and litter traps each year. That’s a lot of money, that could be spent on better things, but since people decide that somehow littering is better than other better facilities, they decide to waste $35 million. On top of that, a further $8.5 million on cleaning up dumped rubbish each year and nearly $20, 000 a day to clean up dumped rubbish and roadside litter. And did you know, that around 7 billion cigarette butts are littered in Australia each year- if laid end to end, the line of butts would circle the earth.... four times!! Now, there is a good a reason as any to stop littering. And here’s another one. Around 350,000 butts are washed into Port Phillip Bay each day. Yes I said day, through the storm water system. And you know where else it can come from? Parks. And how do they get there? By people throwing anything and everything into the creek, which leads to bigger creeks which leads to the oceans. Oh, and now here’s a nice one. Around 29,000 tonnes of rubbish was illegally dumped in Victoria in 2003-2004 which would fill 36 Oly mpic swimming pools. Well, now, I’m a lover of pools, I don’t agree with that and I know that’s Victoria, but imagine what it would be like in Queensland. And now The most common reasons for littering are “too lazy”- 24%. “No ashtray”- 23% and “No bin”- 21%. And you know what is littered is mainly: cigarette butts, chewing gum, take away food packaging, beverage containers, paper, plastics, shopping trolleys...? And organic materials such as food and dog poo are all littered. Thank you to the dogs who act like.... well, dogs. And the owners of the dogs and everyone else who acts like there is more than one earth. Well guess what. There isn’t. Hope you find a solution when this one dies.

Until next time, stay green.  And try to be nice, and don’t litter any dog poo, other wise, I will until you down. Not really, I don’t know who you are. And no, I didn't feel like putting a picture in.

Well,  it turns out that soon after I had posted my previous blog, the internet started working again. Oh great. So I used that computer for nothing. And I would’ve told you but you know, once a blog has been posted, I don’t particularly feel like changing it. Anyway, I’m going to be talking about the bush, because I haven’t fully talked about the bush in a while. So, every month I do Bushcare, right? Well, this month, my sister, my friend, my dad and myself all went down to the bush with Mrs Watson and we were planting. And it was really fun. It was the same routine. Dig a hole, put plant in, put water in the hole, cover up the hole, then put more water over the top. An endless routine, plant in, plant out. Ha, I found that pretty funny. Anyway, yes, and we planted heaps of plants. So we were doing some good things for the environment. And this specific type of plant, we put heaps near the river banks so it would stop the large flow of water when the water levels rose every time it rises. There was a lot of water then. Like in the 2011-2012 floods. There was a lot of water then, too. On the path not too far away from the stairs that lead down to the park there is a little bridge, and when you look down the heap of rocks, you can see the creek. And that rose a lot to cover the path as well. It went up really high. It was incredibly horrible. So that is the flood story of the little park near my house. I don’t really know what else to tell you. My life is so horribly boring at the moment. But it’s been kind of stormy at the moment. Which is really good for the plants because they can grow, and when the water levels rise, they can be there to stop them. They’re like the plant version of the Avengers. Good movie, by the way, but way too much destruction and gas emissions for the environment. They need to really cut down all of the emissions. Maybe tell the ‘bad guys’ to take a break for one day. Cause honestly, I’m sick of watching the world fall to destruction because of landfills and all those other pollution techniques. Which brings me back to another movie. Toy Story 3. Yes, they have a lot of rubbish as well. Like when they are on the conveyor belt, and they are ‘about to die’ and everything, and you see all the plumes of smoke and it’s a wow, I can’t believe we cause that. That us little people/ evil people... I mean, really, do you want to move to Mars? If that is going to happen, I want to be dead. Like, long after I die of old age, not that someone went on a major killing spree and I'm one of the victims. Peaceful dead. Oh wait, if I’m dead, I don’t know if I want to be cremated (like burning rubbish) or be buried in the earth, (like landfill). That’s a question... we ourselves, our bodies, our carcasses, what happens when... we’re gonna die (duh duh) we’re gonna die (duh duh) we’re going to that big ‘roller coaster’ in the skyyy. I can thank Bradley James and Colin Morgan (Merlin’s Arthur and Merlin) for that quote.

Until next time, stay green. 

So I didn't necessarily like the prospect of this. My internet on my laptop is not working. That’s right. It’s wireless. With a school monitor type thing on it and apparently it can’t connect to the school whatever blah, blah. I really hate this, because it wastes time on something else my parents could be doing  but they can’t do it because I’m stuck on this big computer while my sleek one is OOS (out of service) so I’m really sorry if this one is not quite as long as it usually is. Plus I’m still getting used to a big keyboard again. Weird enough to get used to the mouse. The other day I was on here, and I almost went to touch the bottom of the keyboard then went; whoa. No track pad there. Then I just went onto the school website. And it turns out that everyone is having the same problem as me except the teachers because they were smart enough to have that little Ethernet thingy. And I’m also annoyed because something keeps banging against metal outside, and I do not approve. Moving on. Oh great, now it’s raining. Can my day get any worse?! Oh, yeah, I had my English oral today, and my legs (not so much) and my hands were shaking like a leaf. Thank you to all and any teacher who ever made me do an oral. Let’s get one thing straight. I don’t like orals, because guess what? They use paper. Okay, that doesn't have much to do with anything and this isn't really about the environment, but I am making that so right now. So, I was standing out the front with my partner, and then it hit me. I was wasting paper on something as simple as an oral. Paper we are most likely just going to throw away again, because who needs to use the same speech twice? Apart from the time in grade 4 when I used my sister’s speech from when she was in grade 4 (still got a worse mark than her... come on! There was two classes watching me!) and again in grade 6. When I had to do a speech about Eleanor of Aquitaine. It was still scary even though I got to wear sandals and dress up in a sheet. But overall, we usually throw out any paper we use into the recycling bin. (go Green!) which makes me think of a Big Time Rush episode. (Nickelodeon) Where they have to come up with a green project. I would give you the link, and it’s kind of hard, so I will save it for my next blog when the internet is working again, but I don’t know when that is, because on the school website it says that ‘The internet connection outage we are experiencing is an unplanned Exetel outage affecting lots of Queensland which has no current resolution time frame.’ So I don’t know when it’s going to be working again. I guess I’ll just have to hope for the best.

Until next time (which hopefully isn't too long away) stay green.


P.S. It's Remembrance Day, I was wearing my poppy. A moment's silence please.                                                        LEST WE FORGET

So I thought I’d give your minds a break. Too many facts. Ha, my head would be dying to work all that out if I wasn’t the one actually writing about it. Anyway, yeah, giving your minds a break seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I don’t really have much to write about. Unless you want to talk about Christmas lights again. I think my dad was going to put them up today. Pretty exciting really. Well, I want to show you all the lights we have. Too excessive? My dad doesn’t think so, and frankly, neither do I. The more Christmassy people are; the better. But at the same time, the more Christmassy you are, the more power you’re chewing up. Wait a second. Okay, that’s better. Just turned the Christmas music on. Don’t judge me when I tell you that it’s Hi-5. It’s what I’ve grown up with all my life- literally. That’s why we still listen to Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Hi-5, a 1998 The Spirit of Christmas Myer CD, Tony O’Conner and Frank Sinatra. So don’t blame me for an old taste in Christmas music. But then, that reminds me of how one Christmas, my dad found old tapes from other Christmases. We watched them on Christmas Day afternoon. It was so cute, there was one when I was eating wrapping paper. Yep, wrapping paper. I was thinking about the tapes, and how, until only a few years ago, we were still using the old recorder. It was a good camera, it must’ve lasted about 16 years, at least. It had when my oldest sister was a baby then too. Then that made me think of a microwave my mum and dad have had since before I was born. And yes, I’m 14. It was 1998, or 1999. My dad can’t remember. But it was a Panasonic brand. It died just about a month ago now, so it lasted a really good long time. No planned obsolescence about it. This is why we have Panasonic Tv’s and microwaves. Not sure what brands our dishwasher and fridge is. Fridge is Westinghouse, dishwasher is AEG. But that’s a couple of years old now. We have another fridge that sits in our garage. Its brand is Westinghouse, as is the washing machine. The old fridge has been around for as long as I can remember. So, get this in your heads; WESTINGHOUSE- GOOD FRIDGE & WASHING MACHINE BRAND. AEG- GOOD DISHWASHER BRAND. PANASONIC- GOOD TV’s AND MICROWAVES. You know, for future reference, like when you buy your first home or... yeah something like that. Gosh, can’t really think straight today. But it’s the weekend, and on Saturday my mum and dad celebrated their 25th Anniversary... yay 25 years!!... which was during the week. So it was just my sisters and myself at home, watching some Ja’mie. Good show, good show. If anyone agrees or disagrees, comment. And now it’s Sunday and it’s one of those days where you’re like; oh Sunday, tomorrow’s Monday, my english oral is due... think about it and freak out. Then I also have a maths and science test, written on paper... oh my gosh I just realised that. There are some very bad people in this environment. But I thank my global teacher, (she who shall not be named for her own privacy) for putting the general knowledge test online. :D Saving paper, she’s a superhero... love you Mrs..... (global teacher who shall not be named for her own privacy) I am definitely going to hug all the teachers (I liked) on the last day of school (forever) you know, when I’m all old and 17... 3 years on Friday. So long away!! Okay, I’ll stop wasting your time. Bye now. You know, I should just call her Mrs Voldemort, but that would be offensive because she doesn’t look like a snake, and she’s not bald, but I hope you get my little metaphor, since I won’t write her name. Don’t worry, I love you all the same (mrs. global teacher....) I’ll stop now. :

Until next time, stay green. 

Hello all. So this has become a four part special. Possibly a five part. I haven’t gotten down to the little details yet, I’ll figure that out later. But this part is about... yes, believe it or not, plastic. You know, the stuff that is made into bags that people let go into the river, and next thing you know,  a turtle has swallowed it. Well, isn’t this a fantastic start. I hope you feel proud. Because I don’t.  Anyway, let me give you some more statistics, because I love giving you statistics as much as the grade 12’s do leading up to their graduation. Yes, they give statistics and make all the other grades feel bad about themselves. Yes, and I have to deal with this two more times. And as you guessed... wow, you’re good at guessing! I’m in grade 9. Fun times. BACK ON TOPIC. 1. 376,000 tonnes of plastic packaging is used every year. In 2010 we recycled 288,194 tonnes of plastic. (Thank God we’re doing something right, here on little old Earth) 2. Making PET bottles from recycled materials uses 84% less energy than producing them from raw materials (let’s just hope none of that ends up in the park, which i go down to quite often; grrr) 3. Recycling 125 plastic milk bottles is enough to make one 140 litre wheelie-bin. (yes, because we always want even more plastic in our lives) 4. By recycling just one plastic drink bottle you can save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes. (come on, we all need to charge our laptops for another 25 minutes. I could, at the moment, I have 22% left.) 5. A refrigerator can run for one month on the energy saved by recycling just one ton of plastic. (Please, do you want to throw plastic away or power your refrigerator for a month longer? I think I know the answer. (And no, it’s not throwing plastic into the wrong bin.) continuing on...) 6. It can take 500 years for plastic bottles to break down in landfill. (Easy solution: DON’T USE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES!!!!!) 7. It is estimated that there are up to 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in each square mile of our oceans. (Well that’s not disgusting at all? Actually, that’s totally disgusting, I’d prefer my oceans to be plastic free... and maybe shark free... or maybe move the sharks to somewhere while I’m at the beach... bad thinking.. dammit.) Well, I will have another blog tomorrow, and if I have it my own way, I will be talking about more different types of waste. It’s kind of really good that I’m deciding to talk about all the different types of waste because my global/geography test is coming soon, and I’m pretty excited since there is only three weeks of school left. :D And then it’s the Christmas holidays when you have no assessments, no tests, no assignments. Please comment if anyone else is excited for the holidays :) Well, thats it for today. Talk to you tomorrow!

Until next time, stay green. 

So I thought it was high time to bring the topic to my home ‘town’/country. Australia. Good old, Australia. Because did you know that in 2006-2007 us Australians generated almost 48 million tonnes of waste. Of that, only 52% was recycled! Okay, hopefully this year, we will be much, much, much better. For some reason, I doubt it though... Oh, hey, remember on Wednesday how I was saying that making 1kg of paper uses 324 litres of water? Here’s an Australian fact that says that making paper from recycled materials uses 99% less water and 50% less energy than if produced from raw materials. Okay, I’m really going to be pulling out a whole lot of facts, so get ready readers, you’ll have to get a lot stored in that thing you call a memory, you know the thing that helps you ‘remember’ stuff before a test, and when you get into the test it absolutely deserts you? Yeah, that, so just get some pen and paper handy. 1. By recycling one kilogram of paper and cardboard you reduce the production of greenhouse gases by one kilogram. (Keep going Australia... and all the other countries...) 2. It takes 2.5 tonnes of radiate pine to make just one ton of newsprint... still better the the US. 3. Recycling 1 ton of newspaper saves 3 cubic metres of landfill space. (we can still do better than that) 4. The production of 26 sheets of paper produces the same amount of greenhouse gas as driving a car 1 km. (don’t know which one I prefer... probably driving the car... it can really get you places) 5. Paper breaks down slowly in landfill due to a lack of oxygen....(you’d think the people would know that by now, so they could do something about it...?) As a result methane is released in large amounts, having a greater greenhouse gas impact than carbon dioxide. (Really people? Get with the times. If you’re going to have landfills, keep the tops OPEN, even if it does smell disgusting, it’s your own fault- to people who work at the dump) 6. One tree makes approximately six reams or 3077 pieces of A4 paper. Seriously guys? Start using the pine for other stuff. Or keep it up, because (according to the iD2 eco-design page) every tree provides enough oxygen for 3 people to breathe. 7. Over 5.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard was used from 2006-2007, with 2.5 million tonnes of this recycled. (Seriously there needs to be people who sort out the rubbish so it ends up in the right place) Okay, I’m done with the facts now, since it’s getting to the end of my blog. But come on. These statistics are horrible and I hate it and I don’t particularly want to go through this thing again. My waste special will continue tomorrow, going on with more different types of waste. I would give you a sneak preview, but one; I really don’t want to. And two; that would ruin the surprise. And who doesn’t love a surprise?!

Until next time, stay green.  For everyone’s sake.

So we all know that, soon it’s going to be Christmas, and this is a ‘2 part special’ well, I’m making it a two part special now. Consider it an early Christmas present. Or more, about paper, I was looking through the same website as mentioned in the last blog. I was amazed to see that it said, ‘If everyone in the US sent one less holiday card, we would save over 50,000 cubic yards of paper. Which is 13,500 tonnes of paper. Well, wouldn’t that be good to save a few more trees?! Oh! And then right above that statement is another one saying that about 40 million tons of paper that could be recycled is thrown away each year in the US. Now, I wish I could speak to Barack Obama about that. I mean, really. That is disgusting. And I am adding my aunt and uncle (who live in America) into the US equation. Then a few more above that is another statement saying that Americans discard 4 million tonnes of office paper every year, enough to build a 12 foot (3.66 m) high wall of paper from New York to California. Wow, America is extremely wasteful. I think we should make a whole planet just dedicated to the whole of America’s waste. Then we ship all the American’s there and see how long they can take it. Ha, I don’t think they’ll last too long. And then I just read that it takes 75,000 trees just to print a Sunday Edition of the New York Times. Jill Abramson (editor), Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. I’M COMING FOR YOU. Cause, honestly? How dare you let 75,000 trees get cut down once a week just for your precious newspaper? Honestly? The truth? GO READ IT ONLINE. It’s easy enough to find. Sure the newspapers can be great in paper when my family get the Sunday Mail every Sunday and the first thing I grab is the TV Guide so I can complete the crossword, then deface whoever is on the front just for the fun of it. Yes, that’s fun. BUT. It’s not good. So I think, everyone should be supplied with some kind of iPad or something, that is specifically made, or they just buy their own iPad then they can just read it online. That way, you don’t need to wear glasses, because you can just zoom in on whatever you were reading. But then the optometrists would start losing income and then they’d be on the same side as the ‘Paper Publishers’ and then it would all go horribly wrong. So I’m really hating on paper at the moment. But then it gets kind of awkward when you see the heap of posters around my room... But, too late and there is no way I’m taking them down. Bad attitude, I know, but my sister had a pretty bad one as well. Lately, she’s been studying for exams and she’s been scribbling on all these pieces of paper. Wow. And then she just chucks it all in the bin in her room, not even considering the millions of trees that could have been cut down. Sick, sick, sick. Well, I will talk tomorrow. So, for now, I’m over and out. (Don’t know why I said that)

Until next time, stay green. 

Okay. So I’m sitting in my global classroom. Working on my blog. (My global classroom today is in the maths classroom) I’m surrounded by students and maths text books and other pieces of wasteful stuff. And in the maths textbooks for grade 8, there is 21,150 pieces of paper. In the grade 9 textbooks, there are 21, 420.  In the little exercise books, there are 1,440 pieces of paper. In the grade 12 Maths A books, there are 30, 330 pieces of paper. In a Grade 8 Maths Mate book, there are 2,160 pieces of waste. In total, in one maths classroom there is probably more than 55, 350 pieces of paper. I mean, come on, I know there’s more than that, but, I don’t dare to count. And just think. Half of this clogs up the water ways, leading to the ocean and next thing you know, BAM, a bird is dead; or BAM a turtle is dead or again, BAM, something larger than a turtle or a bird is dead. And do you know how much water is used to make 1 kg of paper? 324 L.  So I wonder how many pieces of paper make a kilo? Well, a ream of paper (500 sheets) is about 2.5 kilograms. Well, divide the amount of pieces of paper of what I counted (all books and everything) 55,350 divide 500. Is 110.7. Well, just, nicely...? Round it up to 111. So then you multiply that by 2.5 (my maths teacher will be very proud that I’m using math while criticizing it at the same time. Ha, no, he’ll just pay me out for it, for days on end... no stopping, no slowing down.) Anyway, that would be 277.5. Which means that would be 277.5... okay, I’m kind of losing myself now. I just know that making so much paper isn’t that good for the environment, because it’s taking away what we essentially need- water. Every living person needs water. Right? Okay, I got it. 277.5 multiply that by 324 is 89,910. Which means, for all the textbooks and other pieces of paper purely in the picture (that I will show you) So we are wasting  89,910 litres of water on 55,350 pieces of paper for all these textbooks. Possibly. And also, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you where I got my information from iD2 Communications Facts about Paper and Paper Waste. (link to website will be in the bibliography tab. So go there!)  But then you have to think about all the millions of other textbooks that are being published into paper.  Then you think about all that bad stuff happening and then I read that the average American uses more than 748 pounds of paper year. That is 339.29. And you know how much water that is? Okay, I don’t know, because, I’ve done enough maths for today, so, feel free to figure it out yourself. Or just be disgusted that people use so much of the water that we really need. Wow, that’s... wow. I don’t have much else to say... but....

Until next time, stay green.  Please. Just... please just do it. I will thank you, even if I don’t know who you are. Just... please. If you know what’s good for the environment... stop using paper, or limit. Start having shorter.... MUCH shorter showers. Never leave the tap running while you brush your teeth... do I really have to give you that lecture?

Okay. Anyone who knows me well, knows I like books. Anyone who knows me really well knows that I was ‘forbidden’ to touch a book while school was in progress for my own good. And I was thinking about all. That. Paper. (Partly because I’m sitting in the spare room and staring at my mum and dad’s combined modules of assessment for getting a cert. 4 in whatever they were looking at at the time) And I was thinking about paper. Which is why I started this ‘blog’ the way I did. Well, I was thinking of how much paper must be wasted every time a book gets printed. And then I feel really bad, because I only like buying the paperbacks. Guilty, is another word for it. Then I think of how much paper I use to write down notes in all my subjects...  um this isn’t looking too good. And you know what else doesn’t look too good, is when rubbish is thrown into water ways. Yes, I changed the subject, but it’s still on waste, don’t worry! I’m still complaining! You’re not missing out on anything major. Trust me, because, on a Healthy Waterways site, it says that in 2005, yes, in 2005, it was estimated that 7 billion tonnes of litter and waste debris enters the world’s ocean. Annually. And hey! Guess what? Plastics, particularly packaging, (this is good for the people in my class who are doing the packaging topic) create up to 99% of these debris. And guess where it comes from? Both minor and major waterways. Take a look at this! (Picture) A piece of junk, sitting in a creek, which will slowly degrade; I said slowly, didn’t I? Then it will wash away, down the creek, into a bigger waterway, which goes into an even bigger waterway, all the way to the biggest waterway of all! (I think I said too many ‘ways’ then) So then it’s in the ‘biggest waterway,’ right? Yeah, I’m talking about the ocean. And then this piece of filth comes floating along for a sea animal to chow down on. Next thing you know, the animal is either floating on top of the water or sinking down to the bottom. (Sad face, right about... here) Oh! And scroll down the healthy waterways, and what do you see? Impacts on wildlife with a picture of a pelican with some wire wrapped around it’s beak and in it’s mouth. Lovely. Just... eugh. I hate that. And they’re talking about ingestion, and entanglement, and then it says, (and you’re going to hate this) A million seabirds are thought to die from entanglement or ingestion of floatable material each year. That’s horrible. And that’s just from what we dump in our little creeks, or our slightly bigger little creeks, until it all just builds up in a great pile of rubbish. Or, as it’s more well known name is; the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Well now, doesn’t that make you feel good? That you could’ve caused such a large natural catastrophe, and now, I hope you feel proud, don’t think I’m not thinking of what I might’ve been doing to help this disgusting plane of, literally, rubbish. And now, just for your entertainment, I’ll put another picture down the bottom. A little something for you to think about. I really hope you don’t enjoy looking at it. Cause sure as hell I don’t.

Until next time, stay green.  Or try and be greener than you already aren’t. Thank you to God for making us such wasteful human beings. OR thank you to whoever made plastic. And anything else they made not just for us, but to murder this environment as well. Whoever you are, I hope you're happy.

So I was going to do an article about the airport and how it’s decided to move the proposed car park to another area so it doesn’t ruin the Swan Lake area and the basin that contains over 140 species of birds. And I did write about 200 and something words on it, but then I went; no, this really isn’t my thing. I couldn’t really do reports on something like that, cause it’s not me, and it’s not something I would do. So I decided against it, and decided to tell you about that. Sure, I care about that type of thing, but it’s not something I would be compelled to write about. So I decided to bore you another way. But, I have news. So my dad and I had put the Christmas lights up around the bali hut, and I couldn’t fathom how we were going to connect two broken light ends to a powerpoint...? Any ideas? Anyway, that’s what happened, and I was looking at them, and we’d already put them up and everything, then my dad came over to me and said, “Oh, we might just get new ones.” And I was just thinking to myself, ‘Are you serious?’ Then I actually said “But we already put them up!” (now you have a look at the picture of the bali hut and imagine that with stairs and lights that are not on, and not connected) And then he just pulled a face at me, can you believe it? An emotion in a seemingly emotionless man... wow. Anyways, I was thinking about how wasteful it would be for us to keep throwing lights out, because the big companies don’t make them to last anymore, and that is called Planned Obsolescence. And it (excuse me) sucks. And that’s how they make more money. And I don’t think that’s right, because it gets to a stage where the consumers are just going, ‘Nah, I’m not going to go for this brand,’ then they’ll move onto another cheap brand that just do the same thing. In my opinion, it’s better to pay a little bit more for something, even if it’s just to ensure that that something will last a few years longer. Like with clothes how brands like Big W, Target, Kmart, all of those different brands who have clothes at such low costs and the people who actually make them only get possibly, a quarter of what that top cost to buy. So it’s a $10 shirt, right? The makers of that shirt only get say, $2.50 a month. Yes, that’s right, a MONTH. Yeah, you heard me. A MONTH. See, I wouldn’t mind if that top was even just $20 just to give those people $2.50 more, or $25 dollars, or something like that. I wouldn’t mind if I knew it was just giving those people more money. So, yes. MESSAGE: Buy longer lasting stuff. I’d hate to think people are buying cheap stuff, then just going yep, I’ll buy the same thing, I’m going to waste money on something as simple as lights so they can just buy more just to have them blow after the first year of owning them. Ridiculous, honestly.

Until next time, stay green.
