I know that being vegan is a very high ranking method of reducing your carbon footprint (although you rarely hear it seriously discussed). Is there a risk that there will be a backlash to the green-washing epidemic currently sweeping the nation? If so, might it have a negative impact on the important and sustainable movement towards animal free lifestyles?
Thanks very much guys

Rose participated in a wacky crowd shoot which echoed the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night." It's obvious why Rose is a hot commodity: Write about him, and traffic to your magazine's website will soar. (Will he sell print copies? I doubt Digg users visit newsstands.)

Among the casualties: YouTube star LonelyGirl15, who held last year's top spot, but has been usurped by a controversial gossip blogger.

One thing that has become a certainly in our little tech world - a few months cant go by without rumors surfacing that a sale of Digg is imminent. CEO Jay Adelson and cofounder Kevin Rose are in a perpetual rumor cycle. The problem is, they seem to be the ones at fault for the rumors. The reason? Theyve been trying to sell Digg for nearly two years, on a nearly constant basis. And the guys theyre pitching keep leaking it all to the press.
Rumor History
* Blogger Kevin Burton was infamously first to bat with a statement that a sale of Digg to Yahoo was a near certainty in January 2006, for $30 million (he was wrong).
* We know with a high degree of certainty that Digg did try to sell itself to Yahoo, and probably others, for $20 million or more in May 2006. No offers were made, according to our sources.
* By the end of 2006 the price had increased - they were asking for $150 and turned down soft offers in the $100 million range. At the time, Comscore said they had just 1.3 million users.
* We have confirmations from potential buyers that Digg continued discussions throughout 2006 and into early 2007, looking for at least $100 million, but no offers were made.
* Over the last few months Digg has been shopping themselves again - and the price is at least $200 million according to a source whos been pitched. Again, no offer.
* Now, were getting reports that a sale is imminent, in the $300+ million range. A source close to Digg says theyve heard nothing about this. That doesnt mean it isnt happening. But we have no independent information that this time, the rumors are true.
