Green Faddism

The NYTimes has an article today on greens who do without a refrigerator (sometimes by using a freezer, sometimes by going to a dorm size refrigerator). At the end of the article, they quote an estimate of $6 savings per year.

There was also a piece, probably through Treehugger, that quoted a Canadian study that one day of a wood stove released more carbon than a year of driving (or some such comparison).

IMO, these examples show that sometimes greens are no more rational than Wall Street bankers have proven to be.
