Thats pretty impressive. Good for the Swedes, I'm suprised the EU as a whole isn't trying the same.

sounds good,hope the idea takes roots and spreads out.

heh i read that organic food costs more than regular, and recycled stuff costs more than non-recycled stuff...

Good...we need to make the Middle East obsolete in terms of us needing them so no more innocent lives will be taken.

thats because the demand for it is less than it is for new petroleum based products. IF they are able to cut their oil consuption I think they might go through a short spot of a bad economy but then it would explode and they would be a very well off nation.

no, it's because the production of organic food isn't as efficient as the production of non-organic food.

it will be once the oil runs out.
