THE WORLD IS FULL OF CRAP

ORGANIC. GREEN. These seem to be the new hot topic of the day. Well I was born and bred in south Alabama. Here we still do alot of things the way that the new hot topic way. My grandparents grew their own veggies up until maybe 10 years ago. My grandparents-in-law still garden. I have been lax in my picking of and putting up vegetables from the garden but with the cost of groceries now days I am going to be more vigilant.I know that gardening is not all there is to green living.
One of the funniest things about green living tips that I heard the other day was to turn off the ac and open a window. Well I have become accustomed to my ac. In south Alabama the humidity is so bad that your clothes will be damp. Not from sweat mind you but from the humidity is a KILLER. 100% moisture in the air. No clouds in the sky ,no breezes bowing. The grass is so parched that you can hear it crackle when you walk on it. The smell that emits from underfoot is not the usual grassy smell but almost a burnt odor. The person who made that tip must have been from an area where they have cooler temperatures. Last year we had record setting highs AND record numbers of days with NO rain,not even an adequate amount of dew on the ground. My yard was brown not green. I will gladly do my part but I will not suffer a heat stroke nor be miserable just to say I live green. I will give up something else but not my ac on a summer day when the temperature is over 100 with an even higher heat index.
