fascinating idea...

from 'The Simple Dollar' blog

http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2008/03/02/review-simple-prosperity/

"You can carry this logic with you anywhere. Let’s say you care about
the environment and are willing to donate $500 a year to a green
organization. Why not just spend that $500 on buying organic fruits and
vegetables instead? If your normal food purchase costs $2 and the
organic item costs $6, you can make the organic purchase 125 times and
do far more direct good for the earth than you ever could by donating
$500 to a green organization. Your dollars are working much more
directly to save the earth"

much to contemplate here...
