Spirituality and Ecological Hope

Fostering Ecological Hope

Today from Margaret Swedish:

I have posted before on the debate around ethanol and the fact that it may be dirtier to produce than the greenhouse gas savings at the other end when it becomes fuel for our cars.  A friend passed along this article to me, which I pass on to you, from CorpWatch, an organization that keeps watch over corporate behavior and attempts to hold them to account when they do bad things.

This article is but one story of the corporate spin on corn-based ethanol, focused on the mega-giant agribusiness corporation, Archer Daniels Midland.  It is not a pretty picture.  Expect high stakes corporate lobbying around this, big, big bucks.  Pledge not to be fooled!

Folks, in this society's desperate hope to just keep driving our cars as we do now, to find something else that we can put into the gas tank and just keep going, we may find ourselves, knowingly or unknowingly, bringing about still greater environmental disasters.  Needless to say, corporations and politicians don't want you to change the lifestyles that keep their pockets fat.  And that's how we speed on toward disaster.
