    Just browsing Orchid on a Post-Easter meltdown day... Certainly here
    in N. Calif., and I guess nationwide is a "Buy Green!!!" movement
    going on. As has been pointed out, and how we live but not for
    political reasons, is that buying green in reality means not buying
    STUFF at all. Resources are resources - it's still raging
    consumerism. I'm not going pretend to be expert on this topic, but I
    hear many people say things - usually little things. "My rinse water
    beaker" - use a peanut butter jar. Things like that help the
    environment but more importantly they keep down a cash drain that's
    really not necessary. There's no substitute for the important things
    like a real fire extinguisher, but I use a certain salt shaker
    (2for$1) for my flux bottle - stuff like that. Many everyday shop
    things can be gotten from a jeweler's supply, but they also can be
    bought or found anywhere for 1/4 the cost or free...
