Dazed and Confused

April 30

We visit Rimi once a month [Latvian supermarket], today was that day. First time I was really dazed and confused, that supermarket offers something for free.

Gifted Seeds

Gift from the most commercial institution – supermarket. Hard to imagine, that supermarket bosses care about the problems.
Why do we honored to receive gift from Rimi ?

We payed cash officer money and started packing products, then he said “Hey, you must take these seeds, it is special gift from Rimi to you”. As we didn’t used usual polytene bag to carry, but our brand new bio cotton bag,

Bio Cotton Bag

Got that bag in Berlin, it costs 1.5 Euro there, I heard rumors that in Latvia it can cost up to 10 Euro [who knows].

Going to Rimi you can get a bonus, when you are using nature friendly bag. It could be useless bonus, but it means that someone of them cares.

to turn off the lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour on the evening of 29 March from 8PM until 9 PM [local time].

Originally Earth Hour launched in Australia, widely supported by Australian people.

How it works in Sydney,

So, what about

you

?

P.S. You can call it as Flash mob or even tokenism, but since Australians were able to reach >5% reduce, so we can.

Warranty for the Bulb !

March 17

Nice, first time in my life I got warranty for regular bulb.

Ok, probably it is not regular, but it is pricy and economy bulb for PaulMann lamp.

Warranty for bulbs is good way to popularize economy bulbs. As price for economy bulb is higher than for regular F bulb.
When there is warranty, you have some confidence, that it will not cause wast of money (to change the bulb every week).

One world, it's a battleground…

onBulbe world, and we will smash it down. Pink Floyd (The dogs of the war).

Every great song has hidden point, that everybody may treat point in the different ways. Thanks for someone, that I have a little imagination and ability to interpret different things.

I’m not the environmentalist, I’m not the anti-environmentalist.

Everywhere should be harmony and balance, the main problem is that everyone has different thoughts of harmony. On one hand, I can say that I’m doing a lot of the things from this list, but not because I’m environmentalist. I’m doing even more.

On the other hand these efforts might be useless, known countries are not signed Kyoto Protocol, to protect the economy and that everyone should have the same rights. As well there are enthusiasts who may try to move things faster and raise unpopular issues, but sometimes these enthusiasts are practically nothing to the other population.  Environment problems are not popular, these are not present on TV, and every person has own fundamentals.

As well, it is worth to hear and consider the arguments of the anti environmentalists, just because they have something to say as well, just because they are joined anti environmentalist team, they had something in mind.

I cannot join any group, because I’m not informative on this problem.

This is a great idea to force blogger participation, because nowadays this part of society becomes stronger and stronger, that may influence to make changes and reconsider different laws. Volunteer society can do great thing, in case there is inspiration and great inspirer or groups of inspirer. Just today talked about bloggers actions, who were able to force shut down fake advertising and proceed to the court persons who organized fake advertisements.

That’s why that is someone great idea to get involved more bloggers, probably to help solve someone problems, but look at the list above few things are certainly necessary for the future.

P.S. inspired by Blog action day, Normunds, Raimonds, and few other subscribed feeds.
