Being the fact that these guys are my hommies, I really think this is fantastic news...I have been doing all of the above (below) for years and feel good about doing my part for MotherEarth...We can all make a difference, by just changing how we do things a bit...I use baking soda & lemon to clean or a bio cleaner, I walk, use cloth grocery bags mostly, try not to overconsume & I turn off the damn lights when I leave. Pat me on the back. How hard can it be? Come on people....
