New Jersey vs. Maine
 Interesting article here about where you'll have the biggest carbon footprint. Thanks again to Robert O'Brien for sharing this one. My son-in-law drives (sort of) a large Jeep. He also lives about a half-mile from his office and walks to and from work each day. One of his colleagues, a Prius driver, started in with him about his big car and what he was doing to the planet. She drives 20 miles each way to and from work, though. Every day. So many variables, so little time. |

Let's be careful out there
 I spotted this story about a huge fire in the world's largest biomass power plant. Looks like they'll be down for a long time. Could be worse, though. Remember Japan? |

How dogs do it
 This has to do with heating - doggie heat exchangers, actually. Ever wonder how dogs can run around in the snow and still have warm feet. Read all about it. And isn't it grand that there are people in the world who have the time to consider such things? |
