Most people don't pay these so called eco friendly people much heed, but you should. They are costing you money in ways you don't know about. I have a friend who is a senior engineer with Ben and Jerry's ice cream. He told me how the freaking PETA people protested their use of egg whites that were procured from factory chickens rather than free range chickens. Egg whites are used in the ice cream. So Ben and Jerry, being good stewards of the land changed suppliers. The free range stuff costs about 5 times more, and doesn't have the consistent quality of the factory chickens. So you pay more. Light bulbs are another good example. Our imperial government thinks incandescent bulbs are bad, so in a year or two, they will be illegal. Everyone will be forced to use compact flourescent ones that cost 5 times more, and contain mercury. And did I mention that they are made in China? That lovely place that sent us poisioned dog food and drywall. The list could go on and on. Someone needs to start growing a backbone and stand up to these idiots. As for me, I have a way of dealing with PETA protestors when I encounter them. It will not change their minds, but it might make them think twice about bothering ordinary citizens.
