Day One Hundred and Six

I’m not going green. This is just my son’s science experiment (the growing grass in a yogurt container) and that’s one of my AAA batteries that I stuck in there for scale. Day 106.

Day One Hundred and Four

I had a whole story written out for today but I thought it would spark a totally non-photographic discussion. It had all kinds of keywords, such as eco, green, thieves, poor, toxic, selfish, proud, spiritual, problem. Let’s just both look at the image below and I’ll just throw one question out there: why is there no eco fee in Kenya, for example? And if I have it wrong and there is, I’d like to see a receipt.
garbage
Lighting info: 20 seconds exposure with handheld camera set on a stone.
Day Thirteen

I heard once on the Glenn Beck Program (while he was still on radio) that some lady broke a CFL lightbulb. If you look carefully on the label when you buy them, or right on the bottom white side just below the glass part is says Hg. That’s Mercury, and it’s the same substance some of us played with when kids. I remember actually sticking my hand in a little bottle of mercury and was impressed that it did not get “wet”. Just some little residue stuck to my finger, but nothing really bad. Now they say it’s very dangerous, poisonous, causing cancer, etc. and it might be. I’m sure it’s no flax seed or whole wheat. Glenn Beck talked about this lady that called some Poison Control Center and they came and sealed her room, told her to stay out of there for a few weeks, etc. On the other side, there was another lady that broke a CFL bulb and she had an “Oh well…” attitude and just vacuumed it. Other people hold on to them to take photographs.
