New Years Resolutions

Ok, so two of these were unscrupulously copied but here goes.  The seem pretty enviro-hippy, but I suppose that's just the way it is. 1.  Don't throw away any aluminum cans..  None.  (aluminum is way harder to make from Bauxite than to recycle)  it takes around 5% of the energy to recycle than to make new.  Not to mention the strip mining in Australia and China needed to acquire bauxite.  Most other recycling generally converts things to lower grades (plastics, glass, etc.)  Not so with aluminum, this stuff should all be recycled.  Just another case of all the infrastructure and public mindset getting in the way of some serious savings. 2.  Don't shop at Wal-Mart.  Nothing against those who do, but I'll try and buy local instead.  Most everything there is made overseas, and I don't want to give overseas any more money than I have to.  If we truly want to boost our economy and help our...
