I was there for the first time a few weeks ago and was amazed at what all I didn’t know. Recycled paint? Good-looking cork flooring, the kind on the store’s own floor (maintenance consists of dampmopping a couple of times a month), and that glass enclosed fireplace using denatured alcohol. Fascinating stuff.

CB - are you saying my plan to put solar panels on my roof to power my hot water tanks is a waste of money? According to my calculations it will pay for itself in 3-4 years.

I love the allegation that the green movement is all about money as some sort of dig - like there is no money in the carbon economy at stake? I forgot, the oil companies and coal mines are all non-profits.
