[RP TownTalk] How green are they? Clinton vs Obama

[Lisa Grob]

Locally grown and organic is probably a good combo. Transportation from
developing countries by container ship has a myriad of environmental harms.
Also aren't developing countries with large plantation style operations
using fertilizer too?

Interesting.
I haven't read any yet but have you seen the new books out that question 
the current thinking about what is greener? As I understand it they have 
an interesting primus(sp): 3rd world labor plus transportation has a 
smaller carbon foot print than some locally grown produce/products due 
to the high use of fertilizers, engines, etc. used in a modern society.

Haven't read any so I don't know.

On the other hand someone with a hotmail email address forwarded to me a 
link to a Washington Post editorial. (That is enough detail to avoid 
giving the spam even more play.)  You can always tell the armatures. All 
the addresses that they set the spam to are visible to all that got it. 
I'm having fun trying to figure out where the list came from.

Can November be far away?
