An Alternate Take On Green Practices

   Last month's (yes, I'm lagging on my periodicals reading!)Wired (6/2008) has some very counter-intuitive "inconvenient truths" regarding "green" practices.

   The two topics that were the most surprising to me:

      1) Living in the desert, with your A/C on constantly, is more green than living in New England where you have to run your heating oil-powered heat all winter.

      2) Organics are actually less-green than food grown/raised with the help of chemicals.

   Of course, there is an opinion piece rebutting the article, but it is still definitely food for thought. Yes, the bad pun was intended.
