so true, my next computer is definitely going to be a Mac. but what about the planned obsolescence that is totally based on cultural thought. advertising telling us you can't wear that shirt it's out of style this year, you NEED a new one to be happy! i think this may be even more dangerous than the low quality of physical products for exactly your reason. consumers will find an alternative of better quality. but what if the obsolescence is in our heads??

It makes sense to be wary of corporatizing these plants and making them the equivalent of corn. But in areas where environmental degradation and poverty are rampant these types of trees have the potential to help. Especially in places they are native. So maybe from a global consumer perspective in the long run the use of these trees wouldn't be completely sustainable but from a development viewpoint they could be great tools.

There's definitely something for everyone here from the armchair activist to the video vanguards out there!
I had no idea about Awareness Hubs - there's so many great groups and opportunities.

The electronic components were news to me, too! Hopefully some brilliant company picks up on the marketing opportunity an even greener CFL would create.
