Bangladesh Bans Suits and Ties


To save power, Bangladesh bans suits and ties | csmonitor.com

Speaking of good ideas, this one is an EXCELLENT idea. In this day in age, I see absolutely no reason why people have to dress up all the time. Suits and ties are hot and uncomfortable.

Really, if I'm wearing a tuxedo, or if I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt, am I doing my job any differently? If anything, I'm doing a BETTER job in jeans because I'm comfortable.

See, the advantage of being a blogger is that you really don't have to wear pants. Or any clothing. Unless you are cooking bacon. Cooking bacon + Naked ≠ anything good. You can enjoy your bacon au natural as soon as it is cooked, but grease burns really ruin your day.

A Chicken in Every Pot and a Generator in Every Basement.

I think the idea of small generators in every, or almost every home is fantastic. Less polution, less power lines... all around, this really is a great idea. A strange one in a lot of ways, but a good one.

EARTH HOUR!

THE MOVEMENT IS GROWING DAILY: Nearly 100 US cities, towns, and communities have now pledged to "turn out" for the largest climate event in history, with more signing up each day. Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Tucson, Orlando, and not one, but two Arlingtons—Texas and Virginia! We're anxious to hear from four more Arlingtons in Washington State, Illinois, Tennessee, and Massachusetts!

A complete list of US cities can be found at: www.EarthHourUS.org/map.php.

DANKE SCHOEN: Globally, 1,485 cities are going dark, with Berlin, Germany becoming the latest major European city to sign on to turn out. Earth Hour is now taking place in 9 out of the Top 10 cities in the world by population—Karachi in Pakistan remains the last hold-out.

"TURN OUT, TAKE ACTION" IS MORE THAN JUST A SLOGAN: We need you to let your elected leaders know that you care about the future of our planet and are looking to them to take action in support of climate legislation. You can send a letter to your Member of Congress and Senator with a few mouse clicks at the Earth Hour website at www.EarthHourUS.org/raiseyourvoice.
