Time to Stop Bitchin'

OK. I must apologize. I read a lot of my last blog posts and most of them are full of complaining. Therefore - I am sorry.

From now on.. POSITIVE POSTS !!!

Positive ideas that you all can run with to make a difference in this world. And the first positive suggestions are going to focus on your impact on the environment. As with any system (engineer talk coming, watch out !) there are operating parameters that should be met. For example, the desert called Las Vegas was not designed for all those people. Therefore, that part of the world is operating outside normal parameters.

Therefore, you.. YES.. YOU !!! have an impact DIRECTLY on this planet. You affect the operating parameters within which this planet is trying to operate.

SO.. things for you to do to minimize your impact on the planet's operating parameters:

Recycle everything. Plastics, bottles, food products, clothes, etc.
Walk, ride a bike, STOP driving to the store or to do errands.
Drive a hybrid (if you can). Otherwise work towards that goal
Smile - at everyone especially those you don't know.
Pick up trash you see, even if it is NOT yours. I know it can be gross, but do it.

OK. Enough positive ideas.... I will come up with some mores later.
Stay tuned for more wonderful tips from the Ol' Coot.
