Once again the Ideal Bite has demonstrated their facile approach to "green." First of all, in most parts of the country, there is no problem with landfills reaching their capacity. Second of all, landfills are designed so material does not break down. It is the degration of organic matter in landfills that leads to the release of greenhouse gasses, especially methane. It's been postulated that 15-35% of harmful emissions are from landfills. The only sane approach to sustainability is by consuming less, a concept foreign to Ideal Bite. When I've attempted to post in the past about the futility of buying your way to sustainability, my comments have not been included. For 2008, make a resolution to grow a pair and engage in a real discussion of the issues.

And poinsettias are poisonouse to pets! (and people).
