Drink

I really, really miss the cheap, really good wine in France. I read today that, over here, French wine leaves a smaller carbon footprint than wine from, say, Napa. That is, if you're in the eastern half of the US. This includes us. It's got to do with the way we get it, rather than any other issue, but hey, since it's generally better anyway,... Wine that comes from France, you see, comes on a boat. This is a very eco-friendly way to ship things and generally cheaper than other methods, unless, of course, you have to go around Africa and you get kidnapped/hijacked or whatever. Which you won't coming from France. Wine that is shipped from California comes by plane and truck, and uses a LOT more fuel than wine that comes by boat. A convincing argument for drinking ONLY French wine.

So there.
