I can see your skull is full of mush.

[ninjgirl]

@jamesalexandershow no, my brain isnt filled with mush... truthfully i was in an environmental science class and that video was my semester project... (easy A)

[RepublicanGOP25]

I like it. Way better than mine. HAHAHA!

However I gotta ask, how do you recycle a cell phone and why would I close my drapes or curtains? What affect would that have because I never even heard of that one. Great job though.

[ninjgirl]

well, if you close the curtains in the summer it keeps the sun out, so then the suns rays wont make things hotter, and in the winter it actuially helps to keep the heat in... a blanket over the window has the same effect lol. You can also find places that take cell phones in bins and i also thin k you could possibley go to your cell phone provider and have it recycled, possible

[OXOTHUK101]

i don't see it awesome



[jamesalexandershow]

@ninjgirl Whew... I was worried for a moment. Still though, you should try to stick with what you believe in. If it is this sort of thing, then so be it. If it's not, then let people know.
