Greenies read the NYT

Interesting (?):

Three of the four top emailed NYT stories today (or at least, at this moment) have an environmental bent.

"Waiter, There's Deer in My Sushi" is about Japan's quest to sushify various non-fish meats -- deer! duck! horse! -- as restrictions have gone into place to combat overfishing of tuna.

"Enjoy Your Green Stay" is about the hotel industry getting on the environmental bandwagon.

And "At Home Depot, How Green Is That Chainsaw?" discusses the DIY store's eco-labeling decisions.

I think we all know what we've learned here.

Sushi: what we have learned

We have learned very little, apparently, if the lesson is: Seeing that we have killed so many of one kind of animal, that the few remaining ones are too little or too hard to find and catch, then very simply we must start killing other kinds of animals.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.
