Agreed, but, in general, I don't see much of that happening in the us,
but again, as Fran has observed, keeping up with what is happening in
regions around the country is a daunting task, particularly when so
much of what p***** for news is *not* and you have to have your mental
filters gong all the time......sigh.

But, and yes gore and stern deserve much credit, what I am starting to
see here, is the use of "green" as just a method of advertising and yet
another way for many of the big players to glom on to what may, or may
not be truly "green".
