Ok here are all of your answers!

Great comments about biodiesel--completely agree that the biodiesel industry is going through growing pains. There are a lot of suppliers out there who have your same concerns in mind and are looking to improve production standards. We get our biodiesel from a supplier/producer who makes it from reclaimed restaurant grease and not from virgin crops. (Arguably the best source for it at this point) From our point of view biodiesel & other alternative fuels shouldn't be considered the answer to all our problems--it is at best a step along the way--but it does reduce emissions by up to 90%. I share your concerns about harmful effects on poor countries, and the effects on food prices--and I hope more suppliers/producers continue to work towards making biodiesel more sustainable from many angles.

As for the recycling, that is a typo...we have one bin for glass/bottles/cans and one for paper/cardbord.

And regarding the paint, its a lovely light green that the landlord decided on before we moved in.

I have no issues with wearing used shoes...most of them are in near perfect condition anyway when I buy them or else I clean them out. Just think of all the people who try on shoes in the stores!

I agree it is pricey, but I am one who enjoys a throwback to times when activities such as drinking wine were more thought out. The age-old ritual of decanting wine is something that many have lost touch with, and I think its great that we can still partake while being green!
