As outdoor enthusiasts, many of us are concerned with our carbon footprints. Have you ever considered what the carbon footprint is of your beverages of choice (beer, wine, etc.)? I read an interesting article at grist.com that discussed this very thing. You should read the entire article.

The results surprised me. The footprint of the production of the beer and wine is minimal. However what creates the greatest footprint is how you travel to obtain the beer and wine. Do you drive far to purchase it? Do you purchase beer imported from far away? Then consider purchasing local brews and local wines that can be purchased at nearby grocery stores.

Just an interesting thought!
