Do you remember Sheryl Crow's recommendation? :o)

I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, whose judgment I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."


>For someone who wants to save energy, he's got 4 plasma screens going there, one being the telly, which he's not watching, and, despite the the good natural lighting from the windows, he's got a desk light on too. This is someone who wants us to save by switching off unused appliances. I'll wager he leaves it all on stand-by too.

>>You will justify anything, won't you Chris? Oh, that's right, only in the party of your choice :o) Only 2 rooms out of 20 are offices. What about the other 18? Well, maybe his monitors aren't green? :0)

>>Or perhaps you mean the OTHER offices he has?

>>>It is a big home or what ever you want to call it. Its reportedly 4 times the size of a 2006 built home. Not to split hairs, but the AP had reported that he uses 12 times the area average, and they note that the natl avg was 4/5/6 years old. One would suspect that the avg is higher. His home contains offices for both himself and his wife. As I noted in my comments to Terry, i guess he could have purchased a smaller house without offices and then rented offices elsewhere and incurred the energy bills and costs to run those offices and the transportation to and from.

>>>>He doesn't live in a large home. He lives in a 20 room, 8 bedroom mansion with an average monthly electric bill of 1300.00 The Nashville Electric Services said Gore used nearly 221,000 kilowatt hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average. In An Inconvenient Truth, he calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home. Then add in the vehicle(s) and planes he flies. He also controls the family's stock holdings in Occidental Petroleum - hardly the most eco-friendly. Don't forget his personal interests in the companies he created to allow citizens to buy credits to artificially reduce their carbon footprints.
