I think the off-topic part is over.

Yeah I think so. Although it really wasn't THAT off-topic.

Do you think the building TWC is in has gone green?

Aparently, just by having plants and trees in the building (which we did, and I assume still do!) you get a better environmental rating.... Ha!

Power wise, everythings left on :P

I've been looking around, and I do see dimmable CFLs.  I've been looking into purchasing some, but I'm sure how well or even if they function as well as it sounds, because the vast majority of people say that CFLs cannot dim. :unsure:

A local news station, WGAL, just did a study on CFL bulbs where they replaced all the incandescent bulbs in a household with CFLs for two weeks and then compared the energy use between the two types of bulbs. There was energy saved while using the CFLs, but not as much as expected.

You can watch the four parts of the video at their site:

You'll all be happy to know that I have changed all computer backgrounds here to the green windows XP button, and green backgrounds. I've also changed by blue screen, in to a green screen!

I would like to use the silver/green theme to go green, but I have to leave the classic theme on for my MMS Wxscan feed to work. :P

I was at the supermarket yesterday and saw these new household cleaners made from all natural ingredients. Has anyone tried these?
