Sacrificing water for fuel
Bio-fuels are hailed as the saving grace by reducing reliance on petroleum.
But wait…
Corn, a plant that is used to make bio-fuels is very very thirsty.
Here’s the conundrum…
Are we merely replacing petroleum based fuels with one that depletes the world’s water, faster?

A weekly challenge from Reduce Footprints blog. I try to participate weekly.
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
The Green Ink Bottle - A repository for my quotes
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

Worse, these bio-fuels wipe out needed land for food crops causing a global food crisis.
