Re: Are Dryer Sheets Safe to Use With Pets? - http://lighterfootstep.com/2008...
"I'm not a vet, so you might want to talk to yours before taking any action along these lines. But I did grow up in a home that raised show-grade Siamese cats. We used a variety of coat conditioners I imagine would reduce the static in your pet's fur, just as conditioners do for human hair. There are a variety of commercial products available, and your vet might be able to make recommendations. I know of breeders who used small amounts of vegetable oil to condition a cat after a pre-show bath, but can't speak to the safety of this. You could use a humidifier in your home. I've also read that rubbing your cat's fur with a clean nylon stocking will temporarily disperse static."

Re: Greenwash Alert: The GreenWash Ball - http://lighterfootstep.com/2009...
"This reads like ad copy, or a deliberate attempt to game the search engines. If I'm mistaken, I apologize, but I have redacted the brand name of the washer ball mentioned in this comment. I love the suggestion to use two wash balls at once. In my opinion, that's twice the wasted money."

An Alabama couple has been "fired" by AT&T because the company doesn't own a tower in their area, and is having to absorb their iPhone data roaming fees. AT&T won't compensate them for an older iPhone or for the software applications they've already purchased.

Carbon trading, porous emissions caps, and runaway energy prices won't save the planet. The real problem is over-consumption.
- Chris Baskind
I completely agree with the sentiments you have expressed here. Short, concise and accurate analysis from my perspective.
- Eric Logan
But since humans suck a regulating consumption, make it more expensive (or finally price in the enviromental costs) and people will turn off the extra light or just put on another jumper. We like to pay lip service to being green but until it hits our pockets (Carbon trading, emissions caps, and runaway energy prices), we are just futsing around.
- Johnny Worthington
Johnny: I don't mind if they put on that sweater indoors. But what I'm proposing *is* a tax designed to scale consumption in a more accountable and compassionate way than turning it over to the tender mercies of carbon derivative traders. Eric: Thanks. This post won't get many nice comments. ;-)
