Environmental Impact
I've been thinking of my impact on the environment lately for some strange reason. I've mostly driven vehicles that use too much gas-in fact, most of my vehicles have been V8s (although there has been a turbo-four or two along the way), I use take out places that still use styrofoam containers, rather than rinse out metal and plastic takeout containers and put them in recycling I tend to just throw them out in regular garbage. Also, for years I've used disposable enema kits, disposable this, disposable that, etc. Therefore, one can only come to the conclusion that I have had a negative effect on the environment.
I'm going to try and change all that. Now, I'm not saying that I'm going to start driving a hybrid car-I mean, that's not me. In fact, the truck has to last a few more years, but the next car will definitely be more efficient-I will probably stay with a V8, but maybe get one that shuts off half the cylinders on the highway or a high output six (I'm sorry, I like horsepower, but there are ways to get it without getting a low 12 miles to a gallon). I'm also going to try and avoid places that use styrofoam take out trays, and do my part to recycle more than I actually do (ie, clean takeout containers and put them in recycling). Furthermore, starting tonight, I'm going to use less bottles of water in the house and only save them for the car-I mean, both the house and the apartment have filtered water, so why not drink that more when at home-right?
