Ich sagte schon immer… (auch auf die Reinfolge kommt es an!)

1. regional: weniger Transportkilometer
2. bio: weniger Chemie, weniger Umweltbelastung, hörer Nährwert, oft länger haltbar
3. Fairtrade: wenn schon von weit weg, dann zumindest zu einem fairen Preis und (relativ) guten Arbeitsbedinugen

Zu dem Thema hat vor kurzem das Klimabündnis Österreich eine gute Broschüre herausgegeben: Klima Diät

because i believe(?!) that the majority of the Internet has decent spelling skills, I use Google as spell checker and sometimes as expression checker. Recently I wanted to know more about the expression “your neck of (the) woods” so I search for:

1. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=”neck of woods” and
2. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=”your neck of woods”

Interestingly, the more restricting (specific) search request brings up more hits:

1. Results 1 - 10 of about 754 for “neck of woods”. (0.16 seconds)
2. Results 1 - 10 of about 933,000 for “your neck of woods”. (0.35 seconds)

How wierd is that?

just watched an interesting film: Syriana (official homepage, articles on IMdB, Wikipedia)

In the commentary, Stu Stevens (a big Republican employed as consultant) says:

“We consume what they provide. By doing that, we sanction what they do to provide us with these things.”
