More Global Warming Lies
Article: Valentine bouquets ‘are bad for the planet’
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/10/nbouquet10.xmlLatest Government figures show that the flowers that make up the average bunch have flown 33,800 miles to reach Britain.
33,800 miles? Oh yeah?
About: Geography - What is the circumference of the earth?
http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzcircumference.htmThe circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).
Seems odd to me that they would grow flowers, and fly them the equivalent of nearly 1.4 times around the entire planet.
Does this seem odd to anyone else*?
