Have any of you seen the Altera? It's a motorcycle/car that is being built in California. It has incredible gas mileage. . .epically if you get the hybrid. It was on the nightly news a few weeks ago. It's not practical if you have kids. . . and I worry about crash tests. . . .but it is amazing what they are doing now! ! !

*especially Sorry!

Funny how efficient things can be once we have to do it.

I was seriously considering getting a motorcycle, then last week, I saw a guy on a bike hit a truck that pulled out in front of him. That pretty much removed my desire for a bike!

I know what you mean T. It is scary. My parents ride motorcycles, and taught us about motorcycle safety growing up. I am so cautious when driving near a motorcycle. Then I see people driving them like maniacs, and I think don't you know how long it take you to stop compared to cars? ? ? Anyhow. . .that was off the subject. I would love to get a motorcycle. . .my parents are even selling one, but can't because I have 2 little kidlets to take around with me.

does anyone know where to recycle steel? I am trying to do my part by recycling at work and home, however, the drop off sites do not have a container for steel... thansk!!!!

Hmm. . .I've never had to recycle steel. . .good question!

Thanks for having me in your group!

You should be able to recycle steel at one of the Wake County Multi-Material drop off centers; I believe there are two - one in N Wake Co and one in S Wake Co. They take scrap metal, which I would assume also includes steel. You can visit the Wake County Gov website here: http://www.wakegov.com/recycling/residents/multimaterialdropoff.htm

I wrote a blog entry about recycling most household products last month. There are a few web links and phone numbers included; you might find some helpful info as far as who you should call there: http://www.wral.com/news/local/blogpost/2907122/

I just realized that only "editors" can post blogs, so if anyone would like to post blogs, let me know.

Thanks for letting me join the group.

My DH and I are very environmentally conscience or try to be. We would like to replace our gas lawn mower and have been looking at the old fashioned push mowers (not electric but human propelled only). Anyone use one of these. The guy at lowes said the new ones are too light and do not do a good job and he recommended an electric (which we could do, but we have a small amount of lawn and electric mowers still use energy...) I have been looking for an older used one as an option. Anyone have any thoughts?
