The article, (which focuses on the food industry) highlights arguments by economists, agriculturists and environmentalists that think otherwise. What do you think? I summarized the points here:http://hallemarie.blogspot.com/2007/02/feel-good-shopping-news.htmlI'd love to get some feedback on what you all think.

Where do I find an exhibitor list/show agenda? Do you know Fundermax? Please advise. Cheers, Michael Hi Sarah,

It's $8 adult, $6 kids & senior citizens. 12 & under are free. Funny how they make you give your email before telling you how much tickets cost.

You begin to grok LEED and sustainable design and the new modernism. You begin to realize that you appreciate design and architecture more than the tech job.

And, to add insult to injury while living in the land of the vacuous cape cod-style mega home, they start holding cool conferences about cool design back in BC.

You can’t win.

Looks like a great show though….
