As much as I support efforts towards saving the planet, I do not support using this listserv for advertisements that have nothing to do with web catalogs. You are simply taking advantage of a captive audience and I don't think that's fair or right, no matter what the global virtue of the message. I get enough unsolicited mail as it is.Thanks.
