Happy Halloween and
Be Safe.
I'd also like to address packaging. Trick or treating comes with a huge amount of packaging. Packaging all those small things in small packages is more packaging then the equivalent volume of candy in one large package. However because it isn't safe to do, we have all this waste...
As such I will be Boycotting the candy portion of Halloween, though I will be having a bit of a treat as I have Track Workout Tonight!
Rest well, Best all

U.N.S. Earth S.O.S.
. . . - - - . . .
There is this ship U.N.S. Earth that a lot of people are on, a few billion in fact. As far as I know it, you are too. The strange thing isn't that there is a leak, but that we keep discussing if it is there and it has been known for decades. However instead of doing anything, everyone seems to stand around look at it, and then discuss how it isn't truly a leak. It has grown over the generations, it was small and now it is large, and it will only get larger.
. . . - - - . . .
How can you do something? Start bailing or start plugging! And please stop discussing, it is there you've seen it, and stop lieing to others that it doesn't exist.
. . . - - - . . .
Ride a bicycle, because cars cost a lot and are only going to get more expensive.
. . . - - - . . .
Buy energy credits for Solar, Wind, Hydro or possibly even Geothermal power.
. . . - - - . . .
Eat Local, Organic, or at least Fair-trade, and those are listed in priority. Local is far more important then Organic, but if Organic is the only thing other then conventional exports or even California or Florida foods then go Organic, and finally Fair-Trade if possible do it. This is especially important for coffee drinkers, because coffee is an exported to us.
. . . - - - . . .
Reduce, reuse, and recycle, and always close the loop. Once again these are listed in priority. Do you need it, is it just going to be another bothersome thing, another thing to take more of your ever used day. Let us face it, most things being sold are just like that. Stay away from them. Reuse, especially containers plastic is stronger then steel in a weight to weight comparison. As such plastic needs to be used for a larger life then anything with steel. If your just going to throw away plastic, please stay away from it. That goes for everything else as well, throw away is terrible. I understand you don't want it in your backyard, your a Not In My Back Yard [NIMBY], and so is everyone else, so start being a Not In Anyones Back Yard [NIABY]. Finally when things do get used to their end of their life recycle them so that a new thing may be made and used. Closing the loop is if your holding on to things to reuse, reuse them do just store them. If you need to buy something find this something with Post Consumer Recycled [PCR] content.

1% For the Planet
My 1% for the Planet
-25 years of volunteering is about 2,192 hours.
-1 year (365.2422 days) equivalent to volunteering for about 88 hours.
-1 hour is equal to donating 20USD.
Here I will tell you of how I meet these requirements personally. Perhaps you too will join in the cause and try to make the world a better place. Remember not just for us, but for our children, for tomorrow.
Rest well and Thanks,
Andrew M Marconi
