There’s been a lot of news in the past year about global warming, carbon footprints, and being environmentally friendly. I’ve never considered myself an environmentalist, but lately I’ve felt as though I’d like to do more for the environment. I should be able to train myself to use better habits, which I can then pass on to my children. If everyone did this, the world would be a cleaner place.

My town dump requires us to sort our trash. We recycle glass, cans, milk jugs, paper, scrap metal, etc. But the hard part is how to manage all of these different types of trash at home. How should one store all of these different types of trash? I’d like to see someone invent a super trash management system (probably comprised of several smaller waste baskets, each in their own cabinet), that could store different trash types:

• Glass
• Soda Cans (redeemable)
• Cans/foil
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Gallon Jugs
• Plastics (redeemable)
• Batteries
• Bio-waste (food, etc.)
• Other trash

Can you think of any other items that would be good to sort?

I read an article on CNN today about parents registering domain names and setting up GMail and Hotmail email accounts for newborns when they’re born. I think that’s a great idea… setting aside a little bit of cyberspace realty.

I’ve decided to give this another shot. I was ready to close up shop, but I think instead I’ll give it another go. I’m still getting tons of comment spam which drives me nuts. But I guess it comes with the territory. Perhaps I can upgrade my WordPress installation and see if there are more spam fighting tools available for it.

In any case, I won’t be shutting down the site after all (at least not yet).

I’ve been mulling it over for a while now, and I think I’m going to close up shop on Fotiweb. I had hoped to be more active here, but I don’t seem to have the time. It was fun while it lasted, but I don’t see much point in talking to myself.
