I've seen a couple of these college cafeterias, and I believe that seeing them in effect seems to trigger a mindset in the students and let them start to think about what they are putting inside themselves, also the slogans actually drives home the message.

Too bad no one has brought up the fact that the production of ethanol and bio-diesel is just as polluting as all those millions of acres of cattle, if not worse. We're being fed the line that these fuels are "green" and you better believe big money in government is going to try and make sure we don't learn our lesson about it too.

Certainly we should all attempt to reduce our carbon footprint in all that we do, and give a thought to how we can reduce everyday and in every way. As for carbohydrates we need not make that much of an effort,the body needs carbohydrates as much as other nutrition to so trying to cut out carbs can only be counter productive in the long run.

Actually, what it all boils down to is energy conservation. Everything on the food shelves should have an energy number included in the ingredients label, so that we can compare apples to apples in this whole carbon issue. Nice post.

I think we're all accountable for doing whatever we can - large and small - to keep our planet as pretty as it was when we first got here. Although the terms being used are new - carbon footprint, green house gas emissions, etc. - the basic principles are no different than they're always been. Oh, almost forgot: the buildings in my last WW submission each have their own separating wall. They call it a mitoyen wall - it ensures a fire in one will not damage the adjacent structure.
