Is that formula correct?

Lamps or Ceiling fan lights? (You know what I mean about ceiling fan lights, if you don't, ask. Not sure what to call them) All of a sudden I gotten very energy conscience. After I take my shower, I turn off the bathroom light right away, and I'm always 'cleaning' up after those people who leave the lights on.

Just curious, really. I have the ceiling fan lights that I use often, but they make my room so warm. I've moved my lamps around (I have 2 little ones that take 60w bulbs) and find that my room stays much cooler and I have enough light to see or do what I want to (normally only use 1).

What are some other simple ways I can save energy?

Thanks for your time!

The U.S. continues to increase the use of coal and petroleum even though many alternative energy sources are available. Discuss the reasons for this behavior.

How would you respond to someone who tells you (a) that he or she does not believe in biological evolution because it is "just a theory," and (b) we should not worry about air pollution because through natural selection, the human species will develop lungs that can detoxify pollutants?

Relative to currrent temperatures, how much hotter have past global maximums been?

As always, answeres must be supported by scientific data sources. Al Gore, other politicians, Hollywood celebrities and Wikipedia are not scientific sources. Non-responsive replys will get negative ratings.

What effect could the newly migrated africanized bees have on the American honey bee? Do they attack them or pretty much ignore them? If this decline in "normal" honey bees continues what are the chances that the new Africanized "killer bees" will try to fill this newly emptied ecological niche?

I have a IDARMOR (ID-1050LBKX) shredder at work. I am sick of making such a colosal mess dumping the confetti sized shreds into the paper bags (the kind I get my groceries in at the grocery store). Even worse is when I just put them in the regular trash because I am out of paper bags.

I am looking for shredder liner bags that are made from recyclable paper, so that I can simply shred into them and leave them for the recycling people to take (I have tried putting it into plastic trash bags - but the recycling trash guys never take it because of the plastic and always simply leave it for the regular trash guys - which totally defeats the purpsoe).
Is there any such thing as recyclable paper shredder liner bags and if so where can I buy them?

Any theories as to why this is happening? Bees are dying in the US and UK. They could lead to the loss of certain crops.

From a doctor at Johns Hopkins...

To date, no independent investigation has shown that bottled water passes more safety and health checks than tap water. In fact, the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) tested 103 brands of bottled water and concluded there was no assurance that water out of a bottle is cleaner or safer than water from the tap. Another of their conclusions didn't surprise me either: They estimated that 25 percent or more of bottled water is nothing more than tap water.

Given the lack of objective research or evidence to favor bottled water over tap water, the decision on which to drink comes down to an individual choice. However, two things we know for certain: bottled water is more convenient and more expensive than tap water.

The NRDC reported that a five-year supply of bottled water cost over $1,000 compared with $1.65 for the same amount of tap water. Not to mention the environmental impact of the many discarded plastic water bottles.

what was once a wooded lot near my house is suddenly being destroyed and torn apart? Once the lot was bought, there wasn't really a whole lot we could do but watch the trees get cut down and a house get built. Now, however, I think about the creek below the lot (it's on a hill) and how much sand that might be getting since there aren't any trees anymore. Also, since they were done building the house, we thought they'd be done with everything else (like cutting trees), but they now appear to be trying to cut down every tree they can find, right up to our fence.

I've looked on the EPA's website, and their info is mostly on chemical spills, illegal emissions, etc. Who would be the best person and/or agency to MAKE IT STOP, or at least try and get some restricting measures put in place. Might congressmen actually go out of their ways to help? I am not very well-versed in laws governing this sort of activity, so I assume it's probably all very legal, but I want to TRY.
