energy

when i start thinking about energy and the world becoming a huge greenhouse and all of the terrible things we're doing to our environment, i start getting panic attacks and begin feeling guilty for every single thing i do. like, omg those 45 seconds i just spent zoning out in the shower will ultimately contribute to the accelerated arrival of our impending doom. or when i step on the gas pedal of a car too hard and hear the engine go wheeeee, i just envision all the emissions farting out of the tailpipe and doomsday getting closer and closer. nooOOOOOOoooOOOoo.

anyway, i try to make myself feel better by switching to paperless billing, drinking out of a reusable water bottle, and, of course, subscribing to treehugger.com on my google reader.

here's a 1.5 year old post that i stumbled upon. it's called "powering your home by bike," and it's about this BBC show called "Bang Goes the Theory," where they demonstrate how many people on bikes it would take to power a house. it's crayyyyyyy.
