there are 481 Computer Software companies in Hawaii. I am part of one, and my "footprint" if you will, is no more than someone that has a computer to surf the web and post on internet forums.

As to plastic.. I stand by what I said, the stuff should be banned. Anything that lasts longer than it's use without a direct means to get rid of it should be. And, in case someone wants to cry about that, last night 60 minutes did an informative piece on an alternative that's currently in development..

I find it odd that someone would stand up and say their lifestyle is threatened when others suggest what they are doing causes harm. You have to be seriously insensitive to the world around you to suggest your "lifestyle" choices are more important than the wellbeing of the planet.
