Here's the article of the report from Bali...

I wanted to share this bit of Eggsiting news. ..
I dont know if your egg cartons at your home are like this. .. but this one shows where the eggs come from. ...
Unfortunatly i didnt know before hand, otherwise i would have baught the freerange eggs. .. And ya, it's worth the extra dollar I would pay for it (i dont actually know what the price difference would be).

... Simply put. It's worth the effort to take the bus or carpool and go to the local farmers market. .. FYI in toronto there is that place by the waterfront that has the market there. .... Its goo to buy from those who produce those eggs from free range. you know it would be better quality.
...
So there we have it. ... PRICE.. means nothing ... alone. When you compare price with quality and service. (and now we include environmental impact) .. thats how you can tell when something is expencive. ...

So why not check the lables when you buy something???

Was it made locally? (that means that it traveled less to get to you)
..

What im thinking is that; Isnt it true that the people get what the people want. .. If enough people want something to happen... polititions would need to make the decisions to do something different. ... and if they dont. .. Well the people would find someother way to get what they want. ... Thats just human nature.

Anyway, lets just hope that more and more people stand up for what they believe in. .. and that $ should not be more important than the environment. .. Were smarter than that... we can be inivotave.... Even if the current governmnet doesnt want to take a lead... the next government will need to. ..But even so... why not just become sertified from another internationaly recognized body, and make that part of your marketing campaing... that you go for making your products green... even if they cost more than the Non green products... Your product will and should sell. .... cost vs. benifit??


Anyway, enough chat for now.

Hope everyone is doing great.
On this side of the planet, it's getting late.

Cheers,
Sam
