A Wired Campus alert just said Facebook is going to start targeting people via advertising; so much for my corporate culpability/social conscience theory...ahem. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Gosh...and ol' Ranger Rick can't even spout his green scene? <BR/><BR/>Gimme a break. btw, I posted a gazillion 'green links' for EcoKids on our Shaping Youth post springboarding off of Beth Kanter's roundup.
