The pollution of plastic can be further reduced if we assume a reasonable recycling rate of 1% of total plastic cups used twice and 5% recycled as some other sort of plastic product (Wheelybins or something, 5% is not unreasonable as a lot of companies have a separate bin for plastic cups, and offices and the likes are the biggest consumers of plastic cups)


The thing about clay and ceramics is that they, too, can be re-used and/or recycled.

Also, remember that you are assuming 1000 uses. That's three time per day for a year. Now handwash only once per day, and consider 1 to 5 uses per day (average of 2.5). This pushes ceramics further and further up into the "better than plastic" category.

I use a 1L stainless steel bottle, wash once a week, and refill up to thrice (average 2) a day (5 days a week). How's that measure up to plastic?

-=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=-

As for CFL bulbs, they do seem to last much longer than incandecent bulbs (anecdotal evidence! beware!), and do draw about 1/5 to 1/8 the power of incandecent bulbs with similar output. I can leave one on all day and only marginally affect my elecrticity bill (I leave early and come home late -- a light on in the house reduces hazards from coming home after dark), and they're only a little more expensive than their fiery brethren.

My only issue with CFLs is that it's hard to find bulbs that are designed to be mounted inverted (pointing down), and I tend to favor fixtures that have or can be used in inverted mounting positions.

Anyone here up for making a .gif of Morgan when he says "I'm older. And I have a bigger mug." ? I would do it myself but I've never made a .gif in my life, sadly.

when i saw that mug i though there was going to be some naked-green-morgan with the mugging being used for blocking shots. and then the image hit me.

morgan at sunrise, all green, in slow mo, coming up over the horizon, yelling at trash littering the streets,

i.e. like dr.manhattan in that war scene from the watchmen.

Liked, not loved, it but I do have to say that if Morgan had painted his legs and gone with a Speedo rather than boxer shorts, I would have rolled laughing.

Also, this reminds me of the time where I was finally going to replace the bulb in my desk lamp with one of them fancy-schmancy ones and I accidentally dropped it on the floor while taking it out of the package and I was in my bare feet.

Gingerly walking around the drop zone while freaking out about mercury poisoning? Good times, man.

So there I am, innocently heading over to the Escapist to catch up on all the LRR videos I've missed out on, when all of a sudden AAAAAGH NAKED GREEN MORGAN!!!!!

Oh, you silly, silly people. Nice video, though; I felt it didn't really settle into a natural rhythm until a couple of minutes in, but there was a lot of funny in there. I'd like to see the further adventures of Jason and Thomas: they make a good double act, with each man's weirdness complementing and feeding off the other's.

I think Morgan and Tim have eerily similar ways of talking and acting (in their...acting, at least), but they take it in different directions (with Morgan generally being, well, Morgan about it), so they play off each other well.
