Americans are locked into a lot of old British habits and notions from 200 years ago or more. The width of rail systems is one that costs the environment dearly. The other , and more apparent, is the front lawn! We need to dig them up and plant food instead! If we planted potatoes in place of grass, we could make Vodka in the fall, and not feel the sting of the (GRD) great republican depression at all! Or, we could fuel our existing cars, or, we could fuel high efficiency cars, or, we could eat well, a full tummy in GRD times is a good thing, or, we could feed the soon to be starving masses of urbanites as the food and food distributing corporations fail to meet payrolls and go out of business! We should be able to “rent” our lawn spaces to enterprising and otherwise unemployed Americans, for gardening, for a return in veggies in the fall! This idea may not seem worth the trouble to well heeled folk just yet, but as the true economic realities of the destruction of the Bush Empire are revealed by the Obama administration, we will realize that the depth and darkness of this disease, the GRD upon us, is greater than ever before admitted, and will have profound, paradigm shifting effect on the American soul and change our very way of life. It will be during this realization that the changes necessary for survival will be adopted. Solar energy will be recognized as “perpetual” and most desirable, as will wind, wave, tidal and geothermal energy sources. After the convulsion, forced on Americans by oil shortages and high prices, America will rise like a Phoenix from it’s own ash, a reborn society with sustainable, realistic and nature friendly goals, with a world to convert to the new paradigm!

Another great article – good job. We can all do our small part to make a BIG DIFFERENCE. Great tip about peppercorns instead of mothballs – that is one I can use. I change the oil in my cars and can recycle it at my local O’Reilly’s Auto. They are everywhere throughout the midsection of the US; and I am certain that there is a comparable place to recycle oil on the west coast and northeast. Thanks for the tips.

Great article; I’m glad people take the time to write things like this. Once someone runs their eyes over it they’ll remember the next time they have to get rid of one of these items.

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up CRT monitors and tube TV’s! Those things are horribly toxic once they break and there’s a massive number that will be thrown away in the next five years. It’s important that people find a responsible recycler for these electronics as well because a lot of components get shipped to China (especially a province called Guiyu) where they’re disassembled in a really unhealthy way. You can find staggering pictures of this area with mountains of computers piled up, CRT monitors laying broken in ancient irrigation canals, etc.

You made digg, btw
