                                         WHERE KNOWLEDGE EQUALS POWER INDEPENDENCE
 

FYI: Did you know that 2 years before the Al Gore movie "Inconvenient Truth" came out he started a company called Generation Investment Management. This is a company that allows citizens to buy carbon credits to off set their carbon footprint. Amazingly enough, Mr. Gore uses 20 times the electricity of an average American. So he buys carbon credits from Generation Investment Management. How cool is that, he pays himself. I'd have to say that is very (in)convenient. Hmmm?

What to do if a Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) breaks

*Open the windows and leave the room for at least 15 minutes
*For hard floors, don't vacuum or sweep. Instead wear disposable gloves and use cardboard or stiff paper to  scoop up the mess. Then clean the area with a damp paper towel.
*For rugs, use sticky tape to pick up any pieces. Then vacuum the area if necessary. After vacuuming the area, remove the bag and place in plastic bag.
*Any debris should be placed in a plastic bag. If there are no other disposal or recycling options, check with your waste pick up service, place in the trash bin and wash your hands thoroughly.

France                    $5.47
Germany                 $5.66
