I was impressed when I read this article - Timberland, the makers of well known shoes and boots, plus some outdoor clothing, are really making inroads into their carbon footprint by installing solar panels all over one of their main buildings.

Apparently the biggest generator of carbon for them is the cows that they get the leather from!!!

Good for them! Funny comment about the cows though wasn't it? But the cows are "natural" right?

  Very true, so you wouldn't have thought that was much of an issue..... at least they are taking action though.
