Or make it seem like you're going to try and pass them, every time you do it to a mainly city driving PA car they floor it suddenly. Half the time I slow and they do too because they just can't get out of the city driving mentality.

Defensive driving would be the red car slowing, as recommended by every defensive driving course when being tailgated. Yellow should watch for the green one to try and cut them off if the space is created. Hug shoulder line as well if it's clear to do so.

Reply to Where can I find decently priced farmers markets? by itsjustfarkas

I garden on a smallish balcony!! I have the biggest pots I could find. You can even use those big buckets with the handles like they have at Home Depot. Drill holes in the bottom if you need to. I have the best luck with tomatoes, beans, zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, and cucumbers.

I hope they make the right decision but.. Whatever that may be, I read a comment on the video with a good point, “will they have to put lights on these, what will it look like at night?” It’s crazy how much energy we need there’s so many fucking people, we demand so much as the human race.

I wish we could learn more about the impact we have on the planet, I hope everyone having children understand the impact they have, how that one human will consume and use so much in its life and more than likely also make a human who makes grandchildren who make people and so on and so on.. I’m starting to feel life is undervalued and people aren’t realizing how lucky they are to be on our earth, so many people consuming, Is this sustainable?

If you are yellow car, I implore you to also have some awareness. It is not your responsibility but it never hurts to just slow down a bit to let someone over or whatever.

Red deserves nothing short of a painful death though.

I had this same issue with a Casper mattress. They "approved" my return but left it to me to find a charity or recycler to get a refund. When I couldn't, I told them so and they said they'd schedule a pickup. Then they dicked me around and never scheduled one.

Eventually I called my credit card company, gave them the email proof that Casper approved the return and that I had done my part. They immediately processed a chargeback, and wouldn't you know it, at 9:30am the next day Casper scheduled the pickup.

Anyway, I recommend you tell Zinus that the charities you've contacted have said it's illegal to sell a used mattress in NJ, and ask them what to do now. They still need to honor their refund policy, and it's not your job to research how.

I can’t help you beyond googling it. It’s just another example of the fragmented system of sustainability. Tell Zinus that it’s not an available option in NJ and to Please honor their refund policy. Unless, there is something in the fine print that covers this, they should be able to do that. I brought this sort of topic up at a recent meeting on extended producer responsibility (EPR). While this tends to focus on plastics, it happens in many other product lines, such as mattresses. There is no National system that facilitates the collection and repurposing of products that exists in every state. Zinus, needs to be called out in this.

Recycling alternatives are actively being developed, for what it's worth:

"The good news is that some efforts at developing alternatives are underway. Two large utilities in the US, PacificCorp and MidAmerican Energy, for example, have recently announced plans to partner with the Tennessee company Carbon Rivers to recycle some of the utilities spent turbine blades instead of landfilling them. The technology used by Carbon Rivers is being supported through grant funding by the US Department of Energy and will be used to break down and reuse fiberglass from used turbine blades."
