HEY TIDBITS® READERS, IT IS...

EASY TO BE GREEN! by Sarah Bates

Tidbits readers have asked and we’ve answered. In honor of both Earth Day, April 22nd, and Arbor Day, April 24th, we’re happy to give you all the Tidbits you’ll need on going green! • You’ve probably heard this one: switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs the next time you need to replace a light bulb. But, how about some actual numbers? Compact fluorescents use about 75% less energy and produce about 75% less heat than incandescent bulbs. • Look for the ENERGY STAR® logo. Appliances with this logo have met the U.S. Department of Energy’s guidelines. By switching to these approved products, Americans saved nearly $16 billion dollars on utility bills in 2007 alone! • Remember that unused appliances still use electricity. Unplug them whenever possible. • If you can, buy it in paper packaging over plastic and look for brands that use recycled paper. Paper packaging can be used in your compost pile, the plastic can’t! turn the page for more!

(cont. from page 1):

• If you have to get plastic products, make sure they are recyclable. There are many different types of recyclable plastics, all designated by numbers on the packaging. Find out which types your local recycling center can process and try to purchase only those kinds. • Did you know a treadmill gives of approximately two pounds of carbon-dioxide in a thirty to sixty minute workout? • Replace that treadmill or stationary bike with the great outdoors. Walking or riding in the park saves energy and gym fees – what’s more, it’s a breath of fresh air! • Take that workout even greener – buying a used bike, sneakers made with recycled rubber, reusable water bottles and organic cotton work out clothes are a start! • Combine your workouts with your daily routine. Walk or ride your bike to the post office or the pharmacy. • Think about what you want before you open the refrigerator door. Studies show that opening the door and standing with it open accounts for 17% of the refrigerator’s total electricity use each year. • Want more of a reason to recycle? Try the Great Pacific Garbage Patch on for size, a swirling mass of garbage in the Pacific ocean made up of two smaller halves, the eastern lies between California and Hawaii and the western lies between Hawaii and Japan. • It is not a solid mass, but more like a plastic soup – which makes it hard to gauge the exact size. It is estimated to weigh nearly 100 million tons and cover an area nearly twice the size of the continental United States. • Here’s another way to keep your plastic out of the landfills and the oceans: take reusable shopping bags to the grocery store and skip the plastic bags. • Sixty-eight pounds of clothing and textiles are thrown out per person each year in America alone. Donate those old clothes to GoodWill or The Salvation Army. (continued on page 4)

Answer on Page 9

Living Will Versus DNR Orders Do you know the differences between a living will and a Do Not Resuscitate order? Some people don’t, and unfortunately, some of them are medical and emergency personnel. A living will and a DNR order are not interchangeable. They are not the same thing. The living will is your instructions for end-of-life care when you’re not able to speak for yourself. It is part of a set of documents called Advance Care Directives that might cover things such as who will direct your care if you can’t, and who can admit you for care. The DNR is an order your doctor gives about not providing resuscitation for respiratory arrest or heart attack -- AFTER having discussed your wishes with you in advance. I can easily envision a situation where things could go very wrong. Let’s say you have a living will and for some reason emergency services personnel are called. They might ask, “Do you have a living will?” You answer, “Yes.” Suddenly, they might decide not to treat your condition appropriately and transport you as quickly. EMTs are not the ones to decipher what you mean in your living will. Their job is to get you to the hospital fast and in the best condition possible. Once there, your wishes in the living will take effect, and the doctors will invoke that ONLY if there are end-of-life concerns. Check with elder legal services in your area to be sure you understand the ramifications of your Advance Healthcare Directive documents. Laws can differ from state to state. Then discuss it with your doctor to make sure there’s no confusion about what you want. Remember, you can change your mind about your living will anytime you choose.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm {and} well-balanced mind {and} discipline {and} self-control. 1 Cor 10:31

(cont. from page 2):

• The United Nations Environment Program estimate that 46,000 pieces of plastic were in each square mile of our oceans in 2006 alone. • Plastic debris kills more than 100,000 marine animals each year. • In 2005, two million tons of plastic water bottles ended up in landfills. • Speaking of water, studies show that often times tap water is more highly regulated than bottled water, as it must pass municipal water system testing for harmful content in the water. The National Resources Defense Council found that approximately 25% of bottled water is really just tap water. • Twenty million tons of electronic wastes are thrown out each year! • Recycle your old electronics! Electronic devices may contain toxic materials. Keep them as long as possible and recycle them when you’re done. • Fourteen million Americans use public transportation daily. 855 million gallons of gas are saved each year by choosing public transportation.

• Have to have a car? While buying a Hybrid is a step in the right direction, consider buying used first. You will save the energy it would take a company to manufacture a brand new car and there are already some great cars out there that get that desired 35 mpg. • Buying fresh food from your local farmer’s market saves packaging, processing and shipping waste – it also keeps money in the local economy! • Take the extra time to search out green and organic products when shopping. Chances are if you want it, someone makes it organic and green – even fingernail polish!

EVER WONDER...............Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?

CAN YOU DIG IT?

Whether it’s your mom, your teacher or your trainer, everyone tells you to get in those five to six servings a day - but what’s the real dirt on fruits, vegetables and other garden favorites? • Playing music to plants? There’s a book all about it! The Sound of Music & Plants by Dorothy Retallack showed that the easy-listening genre actually promotes growth in plants, while it seems Rock and Roll hastens evaporation and a need for water. • Heard about sprinkling wood ash in your garden? Wood ash contains potassium, which helps plants flower. • Tomatoes are high in the carotenoid lycopene. Carotenoids are thought to help lower the risk of cancer. • Lycopene is also found in grapefruit and watermelons. • Potatoes and tomatoes are consumed more than any other fruit or vegetable in the U.S. • In 1893, the Supreme Court ruled the tomato a vegetable even though it is genetically a fruit. What was the reason for the hearing? At the time, there was an import tax on vegetables, but fruits were tax-free. • What does organic really mean? Organic products are grown or made using no pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, etc. A government official must inspect farms before the USDA can certify them organic. • Cool as a cucumber? Research shows that cucumbers are on average 20º cooler on the inside than out. • The word asparagus comes from the Greek asparagos, which means “sprout” or “shoot”. • Garlic was an ingredient used in embalming in Ancient Egypt. • Yams are not the same thing as sweet potatoes – but what’s the difference? Yams are generally sweeter than sweet potatoes and have a darker, almost bark colored skin, whereas sweet potatoes have a light, yellow-orange skin. Either way, they both make tasty dishes!

Always Maintain A Positive Attitude

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” It was over 200 years ago that President Thomas Jefferson made this statement and although our world has changed dramatically in the way we live and work and play, one thing has not changed; the power of positive thinking. We’ve heard it from many famous people – positive thoughts bring positive results. Perhaps we hear it so often because it is true. Perhaps these famous politicians, philosophers, athletes, and entrepreneurs tell us to develop positive attitudes because that it what launched their careers and successes. Think about it - - would Thomas Jefferson be famous if he hadn’t become president, or written the Declaration of Independence, or been an inventor? Would he have drafted one of the finest manuscripts in humanity if he had held a negative attitude? It’s all about our attitude. The business owner who just sits and complains that no one is spending money because of the recession will soon go out of business or at the very least will just exist until the economy picks up. Those who take the opportunity to grow their business during an economic lull will reap the benefits. Their business will flourish when the economy recovers because they decided to find the silver lining in the economic cloud. Think you can’t afford to advertise your business?

“Gardening is the purest of human pleasures”

Francis Bacon

Q. A.

In the Garden with Janet B. Carson

I have what I have been told is algae in the yard and grass will not grow where this stuff is. There is also what could be mold on the dirt where the grass will not grow (the dirt looks black on top). What can I do to get rid of the algae and the other problem? Algae can accumulate on the soil if conditions are right for it. Usually heavy, poorly drained or compacted soils in the shade or low spots are areas where algae will grow. It can start off green and slimy and dry to a black mess. While you can kill algae, it will simply grow back if you don’t solve the reason you have it. Try aerating the soil, solving drainage issues and making sure water is flowing out of the soil, not puddling in one area. Once you get these conditions improved, the grass should grow, as long as you have ample sunlight. My question is just the opposite of the article in your March 28 column in the DemGaz. The previous owners of our house had liriope alongside the house, the patio and as “borders” to some flower beds. How do we kill liriope that is sprouting up in our lawn? All of the sprouts aren’t coming up just from “runners”; the sprouts are scattered about. Roundup doesn’t seem to work. We have St. Augustine grass, if that makes a difference. ”Good luck! There is nothing that will kill liriope that won’t kill your St. Augustine. Actually, the St. Augustine would be easier to kill than liriope in any situation! Liriope can spread from rhizomes as well as from seed. If you have the clumping form versus the running form, I would say you have seedlings. Deadheading the plants after bloom to prevent seed set can help long-term, but in the present situation, digging it up roots and all is probably your only solution.

TIDBITS ALL OVER THE WORLD:

GERMANY

Germany is an ancient European country that’s the birthplace of some of our favorite things – from familiar music to delicious foods and beverages. Get those craniums ready for some Tidbits about Germany! • Berlin is the capital for Germany, which is officially titled The Federal Republic of Germany. • Germans annually consume an average of 30 gallons (113 liters) of beer per person. • The tallest church in the world is Ulm Cathedral and is located in Ulm, Germany. It is 530 ft (161.5 m) high. • The Saalfeld Fairy Grottoes in Thuringia, Germany are the most colorful caves in the world according the Guiness Book of World Records. • V’s and W’s are treated a bit differently in German. V’s are pronounced as F’s and W’s are pronounced as V’s. A Volkswagen would be Folksvagen in German. • The largest beer festival in the world is held each year in Munich, Bavaria in Germany. • Bavaria has the oldest brewery in Germany. Weihenstephan Brewery is still in operation today and was originally funded by Benedictine monks in 1040. • Germany went from several smaller states to one unified country in 1871. • German inventor Felix Hoffman was the chemist behind Bayer’s first aspirin tablet in August of 1897. • Germany is slightly smaller than Montana. • As of June 2008, Germany has a population of over 82 million people. • Germans call their homeland Bundesrepublik Deutschland, or Deutschland for short. • World-renowned German Albert Einstein never learned to drive a car. • Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics back in 1921. • After his death, Einstein’s brain was weighed at 3.289 pounds, or 1,492 grams. The average brain weighs approximately three pounds, or 1,3001,400 grams. (continued on page 10)
