I got my iPhone!
So finally after much debate and waiting for my T-Mobile contract to expire, I was able to get the iPhone. Unfortunately the Apple store I went to did not have the white one, but my way of balance is "hey, I have a white iPod, and a black iPhone". :) It has just been a few days and so far so good.What Are Your Green Goals? 20 Earth Day Eco-Resolutions

In fact, as much as 40 percent of the energy used to power appliances is consumed while they are turned off. Unplugging your appliances is a good way to reduce energy waste by as much as 1000 pounds per year, but can be inconvenient.
