Posted April 24th, 2008 at 8:18AMSo I stumbled across an excellent environmentally based website the other day, and signed up for the newsletter. I’m on a lot of listserves, and most of them are autoarchived (thanks Gmail!) for “later reading” (ha!). But this one is different.
The site is beautiful, and the huge amount of articles and content: easily accessible. I actually find myself reading the newsletter on a daily basis. One recent one re: Nalgene bottles and Bisphenol A was remarkably levelheaded (expectedly, moreso than the evening news hysteria).
Today’s newsletter covered what they deem an international food shortage. Instead of the easy, popular knee-jerk reaction of blaming rising food costs on ethanol production, they point to several factors, including…
- a world population increasing by 70 million each year,
- increasing numbers of people latching onto a “western” diet, one which…
- eats beef, which takes 2500 gallons of water to produce one pound of meat.
Along with the newsletter in your inbox, comes (usually) the longer article on their website, AND a related poll and active discussion. Today’s? Should food labelling show the water footprint?
Summary? Go to the website named “Treehugger” to annoy morons. Stay to get edukated.

Opera users are superintelligent and FireFox users are sheep being told by their IT’s to use it.

People who use Opera think they’re being rebellious while everyone else looks at them and goes, “meh.”
