Thinking about the environment can save money in the home and the office. This gallery has images of low energy light bulbs, bicycles, paper bags, and fuel efficient cars. Using fewer resources, consuming less energy and producing less waste is a good idea. Our society is very inefficient. We throw away too much and we waste too many resources. These images show some of the small changes our society is making to be less wasteful.
I saw this Herman Melville quote on a plaque at the Sag Harbour whaling museum in Eastern Long Island, New York. The discovery and drilling for petroleum helped save some of the great whales from extinction. (The northern right whale may still become extinct as only about 300 individuals remain although at one time the population was down to 60.)
Whale oil was widely used for heating, lighting and lubrication. It stuck me that people are dying because of the conflict over petroleum today just as men died harvesting whales. Melville pleads with his readers not to waste oil because the securing of oil supplies costs lives.
