I'm all for green - in a sane way.

This however, is going to drive you a little bit insane. Ever hear of "carbon offsets"?
You do if you cower with guilt every time you eat beans with your organic hamburger.

I just wrote them a nasty note on the dangers of energy efficient lightbulbs - you know - the twirly kind made in China that is replacing the incandescent one? Made in China, containing mercury, dangerous to landfills, the air, to you if you break them in your home. And mine aren't lasting long enough.

But just wait...if that's not enough to set you aglow, read this...and I hope you will write them - the email addy is below in the fine print.

Your life will never be the same. Your life will become impossibly complicated and expensive, and you WILL be under scrutiny. "They" may even outlaw beans.
