[how about ‘don’t buy a newspaper’.]
Somehow they missed that one. Though I think maybe Composting the PI might work as well.
[No way! I got a leaf graphic and put it on all of our toilet lids. Under the pic, the words “Save a tree, use your hand” appear.]
That must be a show stopper at parties.
“You’ve gone green? I’d like to be the first to shake your hand. By the way, I just went green by not using toilet paper and instead use my hand. Pleased to meet you.”
Yeah, we’re going green. It’s a cutting edge marketing gimmick...for 2006. I can’t wait to be sitting in my LEED building under the pulsing glow of the CFL’s, drinking a cold bamboo cuo of urine recyke.
I got a leaf graphic and superimposed it over a globe, then added the words “We’ve gone green! Have you?” in a circle little seal motif, kind of like a stamp, then posted it on my company’s website.
The other day I saw, and I kid you not, an "eco jet boat."
Unbelievable.
When I stay at hotels that have those piss mister shower heads, I just get out the Leatherman tool, unscrew the thing and have a nice long flow of smooth water through the open pipe.
I like it so much, I did the same thing at home and I spend a lot less time rinsing off...
It shows that you care.
Really, we do recycle in our home. I don't know what REALLY happens once the stuff hits the curb and is picked up ~ I'm cynical by nature.
My kids go to a private school where we genuinely do recycle. Last year while enduring forced labor at the little league concession stand with the families from public school, I painstakingly separated plastic, from corrugated cardboard from garbage in the kitchen. (there was a tremendous amount of cardboard and plastic mixed in with rubbish going to the local landfill). One of the mom's told me not to bother. It was a waste of time.
Noting that they were in the public school system, and that I knew they spent more time than necessary on “edjikashion” of common sense, I pointed out the waste of dumping plastic and cardboard into garbage bags with old hot dogs, bread and coffee grounds (which we compost in our home). She told me that I would not believe what goes on in the local public school. They teach reduce, reuse and recycle, but in practice DO NOT implement any policies. She told me the program was a joke.
A leatherman would often not be able to take off a shower head, especially PP heads, it is a marring tool and you must have very low water pressure in your home and in the hotels that you stay in.
As a service plumber I know a little about pressure and flow coming directly out of the pipe when the head is off and I can’t imagine anyone thinking that it is luxurious or even usable.
Nonsense, the pliers work fine. The water comes out in a nice, smooth stream without tiny, annoying little jets mixed with air...
In fact, I hate those damn aerators so much, I yanked them out of my home faucets as well.
And you are right, pressure is the issue. I don't need that much pressure... I want a soft, heavy flow of water. Feels better, rinses you better. Kind of like the difference between washing your car with an open hose or with a nozzle.
It isn’t nonsense. I do this for a living, I will go out on a limb and say that I have sold, installed, removed, replaced more shower heads and seen a larger variety of situations regarding shower heads than you (even if you are a plumber). You didn’t address the marring or the P/P shower heads.
Of course pressure is an issue, standing under 60 or 80 or up to 175 lbs of pressure coming out of a half inch pipe is not comfortable or useful for a shower.
I’m all for reasonable recycling; plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, steel.
It’s easier now if you separate recyclables from garbage you’re done.
I happen to think it is preferable to a needling piss mist shower...
“I happen to think it is preferable to a needling piss mist shower...”
As you can tell I think you are full of it, water shooting out of a open half inch pipe is no improvement over anything, that is why the shower head had to be designed before we had showers in our homes.
Why do you keep ignoring the questions about your leatherman and Price Pfister showerheads, being the most common you must run into many of them as you travel the hotels removing them ?
If you are that bizarrely desperate you could have simply tried the shower head that I recommended in my first post.
You are obsessed with shower heads... I am not... I take them off for a good washing...
I don’t care about saving water either. I am paying for it...
