Hard 2 B PC

Edison MacGyver

OK, I know I’m not supposed to eat Chilean Sea Bass, or use plastic grocery bags, or leave the water running while I brush my teeth. I buy a lot of organic, drive a Prius, and even use sink and laundry water in the garden. But how could I possibly have known that buying seedless mandarins, the ones that are grown locally and organically, the ones the kids love so much and are easy to peel and go by the genius brand name “Cuties,” are threatening the livelihood of beekeepers? And why hasn’t someone told me that my favorite soft toilet tissue is destroying old growth forests? Next you’ll tell me that my laptop is made by indentured labor in China, or my compost pile is attracting West Nile Virus mosquitoes. Sigh. I guess I need to subscribe to more blogs.
