Mankind's inventions, a source of eco problems
Fredag, 17 Oktober 2008 07:54

Leaf BlowerYesterday I woke up to the annoying sound of a leaf blower. The municipality were doing gardening work outside my apartment. I can't help but to think that the leaf blower is one of mankind's worst inventions.

The noise is just unbearable and the personnel is using both ear plugs and hearing caps to protect their hearing. Most of the leaf blowers run on gasoline which we now know is an energy source we will no longer have in 5 - 30 years depending on who you ask. And it's an obvious source of pollution.

 

Pollution from gas-powered groundskeeping equipment is a significant source of air pollution.

RakeI asked some friends why on earth they couldn't used the old proven technology of rakes? They're cheap, virtually silent and they give you some exercise as well. No need to go to the gym after work!

Some of my friends said rakes are probably not very ergonomic, that was likely the reason the municipality workers used leaf blowers. I don't see how gasoline guzzzling leaf blowers could be more ergonomic though, really. The leaves fall once every year. Surely the personell can handle a week or two of manual labour?

Halfway through the year SPIN tipped their hand by offering the 20 Greatest Albums Of 2009 ... So Far. If you remember, the list wasn't in any specific order. Their 40 Best

cheap uggs Albums Of 2009 are, and it's interesting to see all the titles that popped up after the last one was published. As well as

the albums that missed the cut after basketball shoes
they were spun a bit more: Peter Bjorn And John, Blk Jks, Regina Spektor, Glasvegas, Mavado, and Sa-Ra Creative Partners are nowhere to be found. The list -- one of oh so many

lists -- is also refreshingly interesting in and of itself, a fine example of a publication stepping outside of the hive mentality and coming up with something that feels personal. Even if I

don't personally agree with a lot of it.

The intention was to use the new videos as transitions into the performed uggs on sale versions of the songs, transitions that are a long way from the original. Payne promises that the new "Thriller" is nothing like the boy on the date with the girl, while at the same time, "We didn't touch what we considered the sale uggs sacred inside of it." And while the new version of "Thriller" and the other songs will be screened with This Is It in plain old 3D next week, that's not how they were intended to be seen, and that might not be the last we see of them either.

Shoppers have shifted their top priority from looking good to feeling good, says
ugg boots for sale
Elaine Goldstein, chairwoman of the accessories design department at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Consumers want their purchases to make them feel good about themselves, whether the rationale behind the buy is "They're so uggs outlet comfortable I'll wear them everywhere" or "They're so well-made I'll keep them for years." We're not embracing ugly shoes exclusively, but even the super-rich are dialing back the flash factor. Conspicuous consumption is the new toxic bachelor.

A fat man and a skinny man were arguing about who was the more polite. The skinny man said he was more polite because he always tipped his hat to ladies. But the fat man knew he was more courteous because, whenever he got up cheap jordan and offered his seat, two ladies could sit down.
