It's been quite some time since I had a Sunday Funday.
But I'm kind of happy that they are spread so far apart. Because I swear, they just keep getting better and better. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I am not able to drive my car at the moment. So, Nick was an awesome friend, and took me shopping at Kring Of Prussia mall with him. Shopping is something I thoroughly enjoy, even if it's not for myself. Heck, I'd rather be someone else's stylist than shop for myself any day. I am way too tough a customer to even deal with myself.
After way too much walking (that place is enormous), we went to the park to take some photos. If I could quit my job and do this all day long, I would. How irresponsible of me. My imagination is just way too big for my own good. I like it.
(You can see just a few of these photos on my myspace: www.myspace.com/alipinho, or my facebook page as well.)
Totally off topic, but I read the coolest thing today. It was called, "The Startling Effects of Going Vegetarian For One Day" If everyone went vegetarian for ONE day, here's what we could save:
* 100 billion gallons of water, enough to supply all the homes in New England for four months.
* 1.5 billion pounds of crops otherwise to feed livestock, enough to feed the state of New Mexico for more than one year.
* 70 million gallons of gas - enough to fuel all the cars in Canada and Mexico combined, with many gallons to spare.
* 3 million acres of land, and area more than twice the size of Delaware.
* 33 tons of antibiotics.
* Almost 7 tons of ammonia emissions, a major air pollutant.
We can also prevent:
* Greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.2 million tons of CO2, as much as produced by all of France.
* 3 million tons of soil erosion and $70 million resulting in economic damages.
* 4.5 million tons of animal excrement.
And here's another cool fact, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off the U.S. roads.
See how easy it is to make an impact? We need to start going green, literally! This is our home, so let's take care of it.
Wake Up America!!!!!
