The weather channel has been running some facts about conserving.  One that I noticed was that recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV set for 3 hours.

I just put 12 hours of TV watching into my pop can bag.

How do you plug the TV into the can?  ;D

A can is a much more intelligent instrument than a TV. ;D

Wilma did you modify your original post or did you find 2 and 2/3 more cans to put in the bag? ;D ??? Just wanted you to know that  I read all your posts with interest because I think you have a lot of wisdom.

Thank you, David.  Yes, I modified my original post.  After awhile I realized that I had typed in 4 instead of 12.  I thought I had gotten away with it.

Rudy and Waldo,  funny, boys, funny.

I wonder how long a TV could run on the enegry it took to convert that aluminum can into enegry?
It is high time we eased the drought suffered by the Tree of Liberty. Let us not stand and suffer the bonds of tyranny, nor ignorance, laziness, cowardice. It is better that we die in our cause then to say that we took counsel among these.
