Hi Ana,

No, I doubt we are on the opposite side of the fence too, I beleive that you worry just as much as I do, but I still do not understand what the "higher morality" brand you are using has anything to do with environmental issues. I personally think it is immoral to plug CRAP to an unsuspecting, or over-trusting public. As of today, there is a commercial running on TV here put on by the Canadian cancer society saying that now statistics show that one out of two people will be stricken with cancer. That's terrifying. So please forgive my "higher moral standard" and anyone else's when we try to knock some environmental sense into the average Joe. I do not trust government to rectify the problems we are having. Our environmental problems are best solved by public reluctance to buy and consume CRAP. It is everyone's duty to stop dragging their feet and become involved. I saw first hand how the US government "helped" some of my friends in New Orleans after the disaster, so don't hold your breath thinking government will do anything to remedie the environment, until maybe the last moment when there is no more potable water and we are gasping for air.

Where is the logic in allowing the earth's poor to pollute the earth because they and their families are starving, when that same pollution will sicken them and ultimately kill them with an iffy prospect as to the continuation of the survival of their offspring?? Or ours. No, I maintain my position in urging everyone to become proactive and do something. Let us encourage the sane and innovatively healthy alternatives and refuse the destructive polluting CRAP. Even if the good stuff costs a couple dollars more.

It's funny you mention not eating hamburgers!
