Be The Change

Buy Local ”Shop at your local farmers market, or check the origin of goods at your
supermarket. Fresh, local, and in-season food means fewer carbon miles (and it’s yummier).” - From the Greenpeace mag 108

I don’t know why writers suck so bad, just say it. Buy local because then you’re not paying for that banana to come 1/2 way around the world ! You probably consume more petrol by WHAT YOU PURCAHSE, not from you car !

Also, get over it, saving 25% power buy changing all your good light bulbs into new
ugly (mercury containing) fluro power savers, will not save bugger all. If you want
to save power, turn your air con off or your heater down. Heck, just turn some
lights off.

PS: Don’t be near one of those new bulbs if you break one! And please dispose of
them properally. If you dump them like normal, the mercury will do more damage to
the planet (Are we trying to save it or kill it ?).

“What’s the point of eating if you don’t get fat?” - Clay Paton.

“When you feel that you need something, or have to do something, it’s like a compulsion; there’s no choice. And a life without choice is no fun. But you can get your choice back by changing your language. Instead of “I need X” you can say “I choose X because I want Y”. As you begin to realise that everything’s a personal choice, you will start to relax. Once you truly realise this, you’ll also realise that you don’t actually need anything (although there’s plenty that you may choose to have). The ironic thing is that once you realise that you don’t need anything, you can relax, let go, and discover that you’re free to have whatever you like.”

Quote from Instant happiness cards, salad

Dangerous, for the common driver. They are really dangerous on normal roads in the wet. They are fine in the dry.

I have done my share of driving with “loss of traction”, and have also been caught out with Blizzak MZ-03 tyres on. They are fine in the dry, feeling like a under inflated tyres (probably due to the soft rubber and high individual tread pattern), but put a tiny layer of moisture on the road and these tyres suddenly become very loose. Great fun for any drifters, but very dangerous for a family and/or inexperienced driver.

Many cars in New Zealand get imported with these tyres, some people know they suck and sell them on. Please warn the buyers! Unless you want deaths on your hands. I would never use these as road tyres again!

There is lots of debate on these tyres being responsible for deaths already, but statistics are
often not valid, until someone makes them. What I mean by that;
The reason there in no deaths attributed to this type of tyre is probably only because the type of tyre involved in an accident may not be recorded, only the tread depth.

See some links for more debate on it here, here and here. [edit and here 3rd July 2008]
