what is your plastic footprint?

what is your plastic footprint?

just as an exercise, please take a look at how much plastic you use...

• do you drink bottled water or soda?
• do you get your groceries in a plastic bag?
• do you stir your coffee or tea with a plastic stirring stick?

small examples, i'm sure, but how much do they add up to?
personally, i do those 3 three things daily.
and i'm not proud of it.

i'd like to change my plastic footprint.
join me, won't you?

a strange thought

had a strange thought the other morning, coming up from sleep.
it was that if there are many worlds, and new ones are being created all the time by actions & reactions,
that there must be some kind of spiritual effect too, if all these worlds are inhabited.

i was thinking of souls.  and the splitting or stretching of them, across these many-worlds.
and that the many-worlds theory has some interesting implications on spirituality.

are our souls stretched out, by all the worlds we inhabit?
does time-space get thinner, as the splitting of worlds occurs?

ps. i'm reading The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King.
which may account for my strange waking thoughts...
;)

happy cinco de mayo!

hope ye have a great day!
:)

ps. facebook is a sickness...
:P

phony, but real-sounding...

hrm, phony, but real-sounding science?

The Scientist has reported that, yes, it's true, Merck cooked up a phony, but real sounding, peer reviewed journal and published favorably looking data for its products in them. Merck paid Elsevier to publish such a tome, which neither appears in MEDLINE or has a website, according to The Scientist.

here's the post on bioethics.

i don't think Merck can blame this on the marketing department:
