For those who missed the story when it broke in January .... I'll bring your attention to it. Rush Limbaugh was talking about it again today.
For me, it seems that soooo much of the environmental movement is completely contradictory.
For example: We are encouraged to recycle advertising flyers ... but to me the process (read: chemicals) of removing the ink from the paper to be re-used seems to be much more detrimental to the environment than planting a few extra CO2 digesting trees.
Here is one I never saw coming:
When you pool together all the combined energy it takes to drive and build a Toyota Prius, the flagship car of energy fanatics, it takes almost 50 percent more energy than a Hummer - the Prius’s arch nemesis.
You think that's bad ... the article draws attention to the damage DONE to Sudbury and area ...
...the Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the plant to test moon rovers.
If you need proof .... check out the Google satellite image. Then check out the close up of the mine ...

I believe that if we even knew a fraction of what goes on, we would cower in dark corners, in fear.
Thank God for oblivious ignorance sometimes. :-)
Despite all the damage to the environment, it sure is beautiful this time of year in Montague!!!
