Up and Running Again!!!!

Caulk Away

Anderson went to a New New Economy Conference in New York and came away with interesting ideas. For example, instead of trying to create new solutions to the economy crisis and environmental concern, try using things that are already invented. There was a major emphasis on reusing and recycling.

My first thought after reading this is, why doesn't anyone ever listen to the little people? I've been saying for a long time, why not use what we already have. You can come up with as many new way to preserve the economy and environment as you want; the majority of people may not follow those. But if people realize that simple things, such as turning down the heat a little or turning off the lights when you leave a room, can be just as effective as using a 'green car'. Simply put, "Don't waste stuff." If everyone in the country did just small things like that, their bills would decrease allowing them to spend that money elsewhere. Personally, I think that this could take great stride to stabilize the economy.
