Tips for Week of May 31, 2007
- With no prospect of rain in sight, I've been thinking about our water. how much is it worth to you to make just one gallon of the shower, toilet, or kitchen sink wastewater that you generated today clean enough to put back in our local waterways...the places we swim in, fish from, and get our drinking water from? At our current sewer rates, Water Pollution Control Department cleanses Huntsville's wastewater for just about three-tenths of one cent per gallon.
- It's always fun to see the South from the eyes of a New Yorker. Check out The New York Times' Frugal Traveler when he visits Georgia & Alabama. I enjoyed his colorful language and forgive him twisted sense of humor! (3) I know it's fun to send & receiving greetings via email but Mary Landesman, About.com's Guide to Antivirus Software cautions us: "Be aware of scams that masquerade as greeting cards . It may just be a trap laid to launch trojans onto the computers of the unsuspecting."
