I'm an environmentalist; I recycle.

My hobby of not attending meetings about recycling saves more energy than your hobby of recycling.

Now, if you're Al Gore, you can afford $10 a pop for squiggly-pig-tailed fluorescent light bulbs. But if you're mainstream America, two or three kids, mom and dad working outside the home, that's not a very good deal.

I'm an average person.

I'm an average citizen and always have been.

Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment - money we could save by investing in energy efficiency.

For people who currently have to burn fossil fuels to produce meager, polluting light, LED lighting is a game changer.

We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.

I have a responsibility to devote my energy to my country and my people.
