a bunch of environmental stuff

Today I learned that school buses put out twice as much pollution per mile as semi trucks. Also, BugMeNot is a lot easier than registering for the Sacramento Bee site so you can read about the non-toxic substitute for methyl bromide developed by researchers at UC Davis. Well, it uses CO₂, which would kill you if you breathed too much, but it's a whole lot better than methyl bromide.
