Panda's Postings

My mom's family owned and operated the newspaper in Post, TX from 1957 until my grandfather passed away in 1981. Everyone in the family wrote for the paper, including my mom (Susan’s Stuff) and my grandpa Jim, whose column was named "Postings." I never knew my grandparents, but I’ve read the old Post Dispatch and seen the town library my grandmother founded. So in honor of them, I write my blog, Panda's Postings, and hope that it carries on in the spirit of their paper.

Airplane = Bad


A few months ago I read an article in ReadyMade about the ecological footprint of air travel. I thought I remembered the statistics correctly, but when I told people about it, I was assured that I must have gotten it wrong--certainly the plane emits bad stuff and uses a lot of energy, but on a per-person basis, flying had to be more environmentally-friendly than driving.

Check it out folks--flying is just about the worst way to travel:

Planeless

And while you are at the Convenient Truth Contest site, check out some of the other shorts...there are some good ones! I knew plastic bags weren't great, but who knew the amount oil used to produce 14 bags plastic bags = 1 mile of driving?
