Seriously? Wow....

John McCain supports offshore drilling, and approves this message!

Check out video here.

See treehugger breakdown of this video here. In summary:
-Geologists aren't 100% sure how much oil is actually available (they guess its about 17.8 billion barrels), which is 2-3 years of US demand .... offshore drilling is not a long term solution
-Production wouldn't begin until 2017 ...offshore drilling does nothing to help American families now
-Oil prices are determined on the global market ...offshore drilling will do nothing to lower the cost of fuel

Any politician who claims they can reduce the cost of oil is lying.

Why waste water washing your hands?


Yes, of course you should wash your hands after using the restroom... but why waste water doing it! My co-worker came across SinkPositive while researching grey water recycling systems.

The genius about this device is the simplicity. No need to hook up fancy pumps, holding tanks or extra pipes. Clean water is used to wash you hands, but instead of being lost, it is sent into the toilet tank, where it will be held until the next flush!

See the demonstration video.
