Follow up story

I posted a while ago about the cost/benefit of organic food according to the Economist magazine. On Treehugger I found a follow up story that they published reader letters critical of the position outlined in their original piece. You can find the letters here. I have not personally reviewed the claims made by the Economist in their original article or the reader letters. I do agree with the premise that there is more to supporting sustainable development and minimizing environmental harm than buying organic, throwing a can in the blue box or using a mulching lawnmower. You have to be more than a limousine liberal.
