Five Ways To Reduce YOUR Carbon Footprint

G - First rule of being GREEN: Botted water is BAD. A quick trick to making bottled water sustainable, pour it into a reusable Nalgene bottle.

R - Do you drive? A car powered by gasoline? Well, if you're not a rich yuppie who's got the cash to cruise around in a Prius try this. On the back of your car place lots of bumper stickers. Stickers that say things like "Don't Follow Me, I've Got Gas." AND "I Have An Unhealthy Oil Dependency." Hey, admitting it is the first step. These messages are political, to the point and show you care.

E - Only use air conditioning in Summer months. This past January I spoke with a friend living in Bueanos Aires, Argentina. In passing he mentioned how his air conditioning wasn't working so well. I'll tell you what I told him, which is what I've already told you, only use the A.C. in the summer. Also, most household appliances should be unplugged while you're gone: fishtanks, refrigerators, dialysis machines etc.

E - Wear more green! Yes, the color! They'll get the message. Also, use "buzz words" like sustainability, industrial agriculture, buying local, food co-op and Al Gore.

N - Spread the green gospel:
- Berate your neighbors for not recycling, watering their lawn during the day, pre-heating their oven and never waiting in the morning to carpool to work with you.
- Start a rock band, between songs speak green. OR, if you're too lazy to start a band JOIN one, like U2 or REM or another socially conscious band, they're always looking for members.

amNY reports this morning that The New York Police Department (NYPD) is suing N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen, a pizza chain based out of Orlando, FL for infringing on their trademark and name. Presumably the NYPD (police department) does not want New Yorkers to confuse the two and accidentally call NYPD Pizza Delicatessen in an emergency. The telephone numbers are surprisingly similar, NYPD (911) and N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen (407.293.8880) except the N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen promises to respond in a half hour or less, a mere fraction of the New York Police Department response time. The lawsuit allegedly stemmed from an embarrassing incident in which the NY City Police Commissioner "showed up to work" while vacationing in Florida at, what he thought was a satellite branch of the NY Police Department. It turned out to be the local pizza chain N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen.
