In the Sunday Edition of the Seattle Times, they have a feature called Rants and Raves. 
I love it. 
I have been reading this column off and on for the past 14 years. 
Whenever I am in Seattle or when I check out the paper on line, this is the first section I go to.

More so with him than the “Other Three.

     It seems that everyone is going Green….everything and everyone is  is becoming environmentally correct. 
The market is selling eco-friendly shopping bags to replace the plastic bags we’ve been using for years.
