State fair goes green

The N.C. State Fair opens today in Raleigh, and this year it's embracing a green ethos. Organizers are offering a Green NC exhibit to help attendees adopt more environmentally sustainable living practices, and there will be greater attention paid to recycling, use of more energy-efficient light bulbs, and collection of used cooking oil from all those delicious fried foods for conversion to biodiesel. You can read more about the fair's environmental efforts in today's News & Observer here.

I'm definitely glad the State Fair is doing more to go green this year, including the recycling bins that were added this year. Although, I must say on Saturday we had a hard time finding a bin to toss away our plastic bottles. We carried them around empty for some time. Unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of people didn't.
