   Great topic, important, and understandable.

   But Robin, you need to comb your hair, dude. Your current “look” makes it easy for the “middle of the road” folks to dismiss you as a flaky drugged out tree hugger.

   Try a buzz cut to match your beard for trendiness (and you’ll consume less shampoo and any other “product” you might require to get that “just had sex” look you have now).

   :-)

   Vivian, the video seems to be working fine for us here. Try again and let me know if you have more trouble.

   Oh, and while I’m commenting here, Dave, check out the latest greenwash of the week video (on “clean” coal) and let me know if you think the new look is better.

   Had no trouble viewing the vid. Ever since I heard about the evil empire “going green” I knew it was a green wash. It will be years and years before they really do something.

   Robin, don’t listen to the feedback about your hair. It somehow brought back fond memories of my time and friends in the Bay Area. Im looking forward to more, subtle hair antics (as well as the excellent info).

   I was very suspect of Wal-Mart’s environmental concerns and I am so glad for this video. It confirmed my suspicions. What a clever “p.r.” department they continue to have.
   Thank you.
