Mike Rowe of the Discovery Channel series ‘Dirty Jobs’ gives his energy-saving tips while surrounded by the sounds of party-goers. …is it just us, or does Mike sound a little buzzed in this video? He’s awesome.

“Call me a traditionalist… I say when you walk out of a room you turn off the lights. When you walk out of a room you close the door. Don’t accelerate too quickly. Don’t break too quickly. Use the carpool lane. Say please. That won’t save energy but it will make people like you more.”

    Totally in that “so drunk I don’t know I’m drunk” stage.

    Been there. Lots. It’s the sort of thing that leads to answering calls from parents after a pitcher of beer.

    Nice tips… in general it is important for us, individuals to take responsibility of our environment… in these kind of small ways. More broadly, I think it is important for us to support businesses that not only provide the desired utility, but also benefit the environment. For example, I came across a website http://www.simplestop.net that stops your postal bulk mail and benefits the environment.
