Next time you go shopping take a few empty bags and say no to plastic or paper.  Less plastic bags in the landfill is a good thing.  Also, less paper bags mean more trees, which means less carbon and more oxygen.  Isn't that special?

Technological Waste - The Search Engine

I had read that two searches (14g of CO2) on a serach engine was the same as boiling water in a kettle (15g of CO2).  That is alarming since there are more searches performed every day than there are people boiling water on a kettle.  The reason for this is that a serach engine will do a look-up on multiple servers simultaneously to get the best indexed results.  A solution and potential money winner for any company would be to figure out a better and greener tech for doing internet searches.  The company that could discover and implement would be king of search.
