What's much more relevant is what you eat. The production of food contributes to 83% of the gases while transportation contributes 11%.

I was talking about appropriate items that make your life go. If you are selling coats for dogs, your foreseeable future is bleak. If your are a bike shop owner and all you have is $50 Schwalbe's, likely I'll take my business elsewhere. If you are in the sexual service industry, you are likely golden. (I'm kidding, uhm, well sorta; not for me of course, but I have a friend...) In a left coast twisted version of Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi" BikePortland has an article on a local entrepreneur's business called "SoupCycle". Where local produce is turned into soup, delivered via electric assist tricycle. Darnit, a quart of soup, a loaf of fresh bread, and a salad for 2, delivered for $18. I wish lived in "Souplandistan". http://bikeportland.org/2008/12/10/a-visit-from-mr-soupcycle-jed-lazar/#more-11952 and http://bikeportland.org/2008/11/21/business-booms-for-soupcycle/ Brad, minimum inventories is not what I was talking about.
