They just seem like a ragtag bunch of engineering majors that do stuff on a dare.
"I bet you can't power a super computer with a bicycle!"
"You just watch!"
And because they're MIT kids they get an article written about them like they broke some new ground. All they did was demonstrate the very basics of electro-mechanical energy conversion. My own senior design was at least that complicated if not more.
Its funny because I am not really for being more green but since I moved to California from IL I turned way more green. I walk to work and shop because work is three blocks away and target is three blocks in the other direction. I recycle because there are huge bins in my apartment building. Funny because everyone else shops at hippie stores with organic foods and such but they drive huge SUVs to get there.
Hey Stale, I love you dude but is it really necessary to shit all over everyone that's interested in actually trying to reduce our impact on the environment? It's like you're the creationist challenging us to prove evolution when it's obvious you'll never be convinced because it's not a matter of facts, but of starkly different values. I'm not saying your opinion is irrelevant, but rather that you've made it clear and now you're just raging around like a bull in a china shop about how stupid you think it is.

Here in Winder I get one tub, I toss it in, they dump it in to the back of a truck, and it's gone.
Maybe Atlanta is somehow behind Metro Atlanta.
I use WM for my garbage in Marietta
They gave one giant trash tub and 3 smaller tubs.
paper - glass - plastic(no labels)
FUCK THAT
I'm not "prepping" my trash like it's ready for a date. it's trash. it gets thrown in a bag and dumped in the ground.
you know, most people find that basic sorting tasks are not an intellectually challenging, tiresome or difficult procedure
in fact, it's something that even some other kind of less intelligent animal can do with minimal effort

I was fairly proud of my town when I realized that they did garbage sorting at the dump.
I mean, I generally don't do all that much enviromentally friendly-stuff other than try not to drive everywhere and kill people who are carrying Styrofoam.

most places do their own trash sorting because it means money for them
here we have 2 cans: 1 generic wet trash one (that still gets sorted) and a recycling one. All standard recyclable stuff goes into the other one (cardboard, glass, aluminum, paper, etc). It's great, because when I have a lot of trash like cardboard from boxes of stuff I bought, I can just dump it all in the recycling bin can.

man, i'd hate to be the guy that sorts wet trash for recycling.
Do you want to be a caveman? Living to be 20, eating berries and raw meat, worrying about getting killed by the animals that you have to hunt in order to survive? Sounds awesome, right?

Also, nuclear holocaust and radical pole shift due to natural cycles in the earth will destroy humanity long before the gum wrappers I throw in the gutter do.

Communism is not the logical conclusion of a country having an army.
SURE IT IS, MAAAAAN. ALL SOLDIERS ARE FASCISTS, MAAAAAN. WE SHOULD RECYCLE AND WEAR OUR OWN SHED SKIN AND HAIR INSTEAD OF GROWING COTTON OR WEARING WOOL, MAAAAAAN. PATCHULI OIL IS RAD, I LOVE HACKEY SACK AND SUCKING DICKS AND SMOKING POT.

Well, I figure mainly mass hysteria. Suicide cults, some countries maybe taking advantage of the chaos by invading and bombing shit...
I've been told that pole-shifts aren't actually that catastrophic.

You should douse them with leaded fuel beforehand.

If you want to recycle, go for it.
It's just not a big priority for me, the walking ecological disaster.

But the infallible dictatorship of the proletariat demands that I kick every counter-revolutionary puppy that I see.
Protip: they're all counter-revolutionary
So, us
Damnit guys
the planet was like this when i found it, ergo i have no responsibility to make it cleaner!
