They won’t be talking about making green paints or growing plants. Actually that isn’t true. They may be talking about these things but not the way you might think. They may talk about making green paints that don’t release VOCs, volatile organic compounds. They may talk about growing plants using pesticides that don’t derive from petroleum.</p> Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:53:57 +0000 Joe Schwarcz 1653 at /oss
