Going for the overall minimum compared to the dollar spent is where it's at.
I suppose That doesn't jive with the whole "green" economy, but I guess I'll never see slightly reducing the amount of plastic used by bottled water companies as green when we could just use tap water. I suppose that's the difference between "green" as a fashion statement and "green" as in green.
