I hate composting, too, but I freakin' do it because I don't want the earth to be taken over by giant landfills any sooner than it has to. No-brainer, right?
Except some knucklehead politicians actually put their time and energy into overturning a law creating new energy standards for light bulbs. Instead of, I dunno, creating jobs or figuring out healthcare. Light bulbs. They were fighting about light bulbs. And they finally have lost their fight, thank goodness.
Open letter to Washington: I want safe, efficient stuff in my home, and I want it to be as cheap and easy to find as possible. So stop fighting for energy-wasting home accessories.
Listen, there are various things the government makes sure are up to standards in our homes, and there's a reason for that. It makes the world safer.
See what Amy over at The Stir thinks the government should keep a handle on, by law over on the original post.
