Jenny asks…
How much is the “green” industry?
Eco–friendly goods, such as hyrbid cars, solar pannels, clothing, housewares, etc., is a booming industry. How much is this “green” industry worth? How much money does this industry rake in over the course of a year?
The Expert answers:
Evidently, it’s worth many billions of dollars just last year,and
growing bigger all the time. I caution all consumers,however,
to read labels carefully because as recently exposed by
‘Consumer Reports’ magazine, every appliance manufacturer
doing business in America is using the EnergyStar label on many of it’s appliances. Beware,there is NO uniform standard
for companys who make this claim and slap that blue label on
their appliances. Many companys were found to put this label
on all their products across the board with no evidence that
the product is in anyway efficient. Remember,any company can label it’s product with this star and does NOT have to
meet any uniform standards and many companys are simply
slapping this label on everything they make and sell,as a marketing ploy. Read the label on big appliances.They tell you exactly what the energy-use should average in one year,
either in dollars/yr, or kilowatt hours of electricity usage.
Do not trust companys to steer you greener. Green to them is
the almighty green dollars you fork over when you buy this scam.
Robert asks…
Has anyone ever used one of those “eco balls” in the washing machine, are they any good?

These thingumyjigs claim to wash your clothes clean up to a thousand times, thus saving you loads of money.
They are environmentally friendly and contain particles (or summat) which supposedly do the job of your normal detergent.
My other half has bought one today but I am sceptical.
Do they work?
(I know it´s the wrong category, but post in Cleaning and Laundry and nobody answers)
The Expert answers:
They look like a dog toy!
I’ve never used ’em but there can be no harm in trying!
Mark asks…
Why do my questions always get deleted?
I have asked few questions, and most of them have been deleted. I asked
1. What is that gum that smells the same as RubA535?
2.Music in french that I will understand, and enjoy (I did go on for a while in this question…and it was in french)
3.French speaking people, will you quickly edit this? (and it was short a french poem)
4.Clothing brands etc. That are vegan,eco,and child labor friendly.
All of those questions got deleted!! Any idea why? A lot of people post questions like: If I was a smurf in your room what would you do? And I have no problem with this, until they delete mine and not theirs!
The Expert answers:
There are a few reasons questions are deleted:
Violation
They receive no answers in the 4 days they are open for answers
The best answer (chosen by asker or by votes) is deleted for violation. The question is also deleted.
If #2 was written in French on an English Yahoo! Answers, that makes it a violation.
#3 – You want help with French, then go to a French Yahoo! Answers. It was probably a violation for not being in English
#4… That’s not a question, which makes it a violation
When you see something that is a violation (like the smurf example), sometimes they just got lucky. Other Y!A users report questions and answers. Sometimes a question or answer that is a violation just doesn’t get reported… Or get’s reported and deleted after you’ve seen it.
Linda asks…
Is my novel any good?Excerpt included. Any chance of it being published? Would you read it if is was a book?
Hi,
I’ve been working on this book for a little over a year. Lately, I’ve been kinda discouraged… Looking for honest reviews. Could I get this published? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

James Apartment
Where was Elliot? James glanced at his Cartier wristwatch as he paced though his apartment. It had been a practically hellish day at work and he needed Elliot. Initially, his proposal to a clothes retailer to invest in environmentally friendly organic cotton produced by CEC was rejected. Secondly, a scathing review of CEC was written in the New York Times. Thankfully, it only managed to score the back of the paper, but, it was still brutally ruthless. Entitled “Green-dy and Corrupt” was a bitter report of the salaries and the perks of being employed at CEC, which was suppose to be non-profit. Tailing the wage reports, was a detailed tracing of mainstream donations from nonexistent private individuals to factual CEOs and presidents of companies not known for being environmentally conscience. The writer, a right-wing extremist bitch known for her unyielding denial of global warming, hinted that these “eco-unfriendly” companies were paying off CEC to not blow the whistle on them. The most unfortunate piece of this merciless editorial was that it mentioned James by name at least three times.
To add to the stress of his day, James remembered that he would be traveling to Washington D.C that weekend. Hopefully, the nasty critique wouldn’t hinder any support of the bill he was lobbying for. Nicknamed Eco-fight, the bill was created to limit the emission of carbon by slightly increasing taxes in ratio to the carbon output of factories and large corporations. However, closer inspection revealed that the bill trickled down in smaller businesses and finally, at the last stage, households. The shrinking Party of Republicans in Congress, except for a few moderate ones, adamantly refused the bill. Most Democrats in Congress, though not all, eagerly supported it. James was determined to change the minds of those on the left who weren’t fully committed to the bill.
The caustic sting of the article left a burn on James. Immediately after reading the article, he contacted the legal department of CEC demanding that a lawsuit be issued against the writer and New York Times for libel. James, still pacing like a caged animal, realized that now, the lawsuit wouldn’t comfort him, only a tiny glass vial filled with white powder would console him. Impatiently, James tried to call Elliot. No answer. Where was he-? James heard a knock on the door and rushed to open it.
“Finally!” James moaned, hand outstretched.
“Whoa, settle down there.” Elliot laughed as he tried to walk through the door.
He handed James the bottle,
“That should last you a couple days, I’ll be back this weekend to give you more.”
“No, I’m going to Washington; I’ll be gone for a week.” James looked up from the bottle clutched in his hand with a distressed look.
Elliot hesitated, “Can you wait til-“
“No!” James cried desperately, He looked at Elliot. “I’ve had such a tough week, just look at this article.” He pleaded, handing Elliot a crumpled New York Times.
Elliot skimmed the article, the frown on his forehead deepening as he read further and further. He signed and offered James an apologetic look.
“Okay, I’ll have it to you by Thursday.” Elliot replied, trying to soothe James.
Elliot studied James, calculating how much James had changed over the years. A similar digression he had viewed in all his clients. His once tawny skin was now pale, his muscular frame gaunter, and his green eyes tired. He was still remotely young, early forties.
James watched Elliot leave his apartment, feeling slightly anxious that Elliot seemed tentative to deliver the drug on Thursday. James clenched the vial in his hand, clasping it hard-as if someone would snatch it from his hand. He moved to the kitchen, placing the bottle, a crisp dollar bill, and a credit card on the marble counter. James started using crack at the eve of his divorce to his first wife. It regularly continued through his second marriage and was eventually the reason for its demise. James was fascinated with cocaine, how is destroyed his marriage but helped to numb the pain from the separation. He creased the dollar bill, and filled it with the powder. Skillfully, he poured it on the counter into a shaky line. He carefully used the credit card to straighten the dust into a straight line. He took out his straw, and gently whiffed. His nostrils burned at first, but soon he was lulled into a gentle wave of serenity.
Without any mental effort of his own, James was able to be transported to the most halcyon period in his life. The infancy of his first marriage, back when he was nearing thirty. His wife was a rare kind of beauty, white porcelain skin unmarked by any frec
I thought about that…But, I mean one page? I think I’m okay if I don’t post like, a whole chapter.
agilebrit’s… Thank you so much! I forgot to mention that this excerpt was from the middle of the book. I’ve already introduced James in the text. Anyways, you gave a lot of good advice.
