Or computers....let's not forget computers...:)

While I understand and empathize with Yaya's feelings about this, I
agree with Rick here.  In an ideal world, we would have to make no
compromises.  But this is hardly an "ideal" world from that point of
view.  I believe that all we can do is be as aware as possible of the
ecological "footprints" of the choices we *do* make, and to try to
reduce those footprints as much as is practical while going on about
the work of living and doing helpful and healing works.

Just my $0.02,

Loren
