How environmentally friendly is the Hotel Industry?

Posted on February 9, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Just one example. Every hotel I stay in has these so-called scald free showers. The only way to operate them is to turn the handle counter-clockwise so that only cold water is on at first. This prevents an inadvertent scald. You then turn the handle to introduce hot water so as to get a comfortable temperature. The whole aim is to control temperature. The problem is that there is no way to control volume. At a comfortable temperature the water is coming out like a Tsunami. This is a horrible waste of water and a waste of energy to heat the water. I think the Hotel Industry is missing a chance here to be more environmentally conscious. They must design a better fixture.

What would you think of a law that required all new buildings to have alternative engery sources built -in?

Not to replace our current way of getting electricity, but to augment it.

Would it be so bad to have a few solar panels on the roof of your new home or running down the side of your new apartment or office building? What about wind turbines on top of sky scrappers.

I would be all for a law like that. I’m sure it would reduce pollution, energy prices, and the big reward, our dependence on foriegn energy.
(not saying we would be free from foriegn oil, but could it be a start?)
Thats great that they are doing it in Florida. But here in New Jersey, there seems to be a new house or a complete makeover on every other block, yet now solar panels……I just can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t want them.

they say it isn’t cost prohibitive. There are actually a couple of companies that put solar panels on older homes, its not that expensive. You get a massive tax break, and in spring and fall months you tend to get to “sell” back some energy to PSEG and the likes.

a good site about solar energy and intergration.
sarge – why is it called oil heat and gas heat if it has nothing to do with oil?

Ok, so what does this mean then?

If this doesnt mean that Joseph Smith is the way to be with God, what does it say?

President Brigham Young uttered this bold statement: “Joseph Smith holds the keys of this last dispensation, and is now engaged behind the vail in the great work of the last days. I can tell our beloved brother Christians … that no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are—I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent. He holds the keys of that kingdom for the last dispensation—the keys to rule in the spirit world; and he rules there triumphantly, for he gained full power and a

I am not a Morman, nor am I converting… I was challanged on this and so wanted to post it.
I repeat – I am NOT Mormon.
I am awaiting the Mormons who challanged me to answer….

I am a 33 year old woman, 5’4 and 138 pounds.Why are diets no longer working for me?

Posted on February 1, 2012 by admin| 11 Comments

I used to be able to drop weight quickly. I have a major event coming up July 29th and have been dieting for 3 weeks, working out rigorously for 2 weeks. I tend to stick to low carbs as my way of eating normally which maintains my weight so I decided to do the CABBAGE SOUP diet for 1 week. I did not lose any weight I then decided to do a very strict induction phase of ATKINS. The first week I worked out on the Elyptical Cycle every day for 1 hour burning about 700 calories and 100 crunches with 45 lb weights. The 2nd week I worked out 5 days doin 1 hour 1/2 on the Elyptical or an Hour on the Elyptical and 1/2 hour walking briskly on the tread mill. I also ventured into the weight area using the machines for my legs, 100 crunches with 50lbs on the the weight machine and 100 crunches on the floor. I drink 1.5 liters (1.58 QT) of water everday. I am so frustrated as I have Not lost 1 pound in all this time. I don’t know what else to do. Can anyone please give me advise?
