when green isn't green

Warning: preaching ahead

So, we already know that ethanol (at least how we're making it today) is a bad bet for the environment. Those of you who know me should know my thoughts on the environment--specifically how we're destroying it, and how we should be repairing it. When we explore alternative biofuels such as ethanol, we must pay attention not only to its emmisions and upside to fossil fuels, but also to how the fuel is being grown. So, it is sadly no surprise that Scientists are taking 2nd look at biofuels. Read on, and educate yourselves.

I recently came across another interesting article involving current trends in the clothing industry, fashion maven that I am. Instead of buying clothes that last a lifetime, we're shopping for price and trend. It's becoming 'Fast clothes' versus 'green clothes'. Please, if you're going to buy disposable clothing, don't throw it away when you're through with it; find a home or a clever use for it.
