In response to Eco-weak to Eco-chic
How much electricity will be consumed at the Convention Center during this show? How many cars will be driven there? Night time workshops? These sorts of things are typical of the global-warming zealots and "green" fanatics. Remember the global conference on climate change a few weeks ago? Ten thousand jets hauled in millions of people to attend. Talk about a carbon footprint! This "green" nonsense will have more clout if those espousing the wonders of it would actually commit to following the same drivel they spout toward others. Until I see something like that from these fanatics, I'll continue to stomp gigantic carbon footprints all over the place.

Ray, I love your logic on this topic. It is as predictable as putting Rush Limbaugh in a closed room with a hamburger and a bottle of OxyContin. I was once told by a good Christian friend that I was a hypocrite for wearing leather shoes since I didn't eat meat. I told him that I never personally claimed to be against leather usage, although I would have loved to have an alternative that wasn't worse for the environment than this natural material. I quickly added that he was also a hypocrite for judging me and calling himself a Christian. We're still great friends. There's always a way to keep people who don't want to change from doing so. Hell, there are still people in Richmond that think black people are intellectually inferior to whites. And as intellectually inferior as that thinking is it still allows them to move on without "all that guilt." I would commit though that these folks are terribly miserable people and are bent on making others so. I challenge you Ray to open your heart, get that amygdala out and dust it off, and you'll see that the interconnectedness of all of the issues I've just mentioned is inevitable if we are to survive and be happy as a species.

I think we should celebrate the fact that the Richmond area is even talking about green. Just think back two years ago. We have come a long way and have a long way to go.

I had my first date with my soon-to-be husband at 3 Monkeys. It will always have a very special place in my heart!

Pomegranate Euro Bistro in Shockoe Slip is a great place for a date. The food is always excellent, and there is never a long wait for a table. And you can't deny the romantic atmosphere

Please help keep Jericho alive!
-- Casey

People like Jericho because it's a situation we can put ourselves in... the what-ifs in the world are fascinating. Nothing funny about that.

This is a great article and Charlie and Sprout have done a wonderful job of presenting the philosophy of locally grown food to its members and neighbors at the farmers markets. Good job!
