Well MAK,
at least you can go to that beautiful Wrigley w/o all the "now" corporate $$ we see at baseball parks now... OOPS, there is that big red roof across the street. One of the best parks I have been to though.

Great bar: Cubby Bear
Never been there, South sider here. Go Sox!

BTW don't even get me started on professional sports on how much money these ungrateful idiots make. Unfortunately its the lame drunk fans that keep going and shelling out the dough to goto these games to support the ungrateful's.
The last professional game I went to was a minor league BB game and a Professional Lacrosse game. Both make a lot less money and less to get in.
Is the lowest VOC and healthiest really the most ecofriendly?
Is it not the most durable of the bunch the most eco-friendly?

Let me explain:
The most eco-friendly paint job is... no paint job.
Not very good for business, I know, but true.
So, is the most durable paint job the one?

We don't just paint do we?
We drive to the store to buy paint, sundries, no good.
Some has to be delivered across the country or continent, no good.
A lot of spackle, compounds, caulk etc is used every time, no good.
Plastic, lots of plastic is used, no good.
Tools have to be used and washed, no good.
Paint cans have to be disposed or recycled, no good.
Crew vans and trucks have to be driving around, no good.

So amongst a bunch of eco ok paints,
isn't the one that lasts the longest and is always available close by,
the most eco-friendly?

Food for thought.

Yes yes yes! This is something that we've been going over and talking about for a while. Say I have a paint that lasts 10 years and your no VOC paint lasts only 3-4 years. Is that low or no VOC paint really better in terms of being environmentally sound? In this instance we mostly need to consider the energy used in creating the paints.

And yes, I'm developing a low VOC paint, but we are hoping that it lasts for a very long time.

My daughter and I love Minor League ball. You get right behind home plate for about $12. Monday's get you a bleacher seat, a hot dog and a small coke for $3.00. GO SHOREBIRDS!
