Here's an interesting article from Mother Jones.
It seems that not only is this whiskey producer not polluting the environment, the waste products may eventually (if everything works out) be turned into biofuel thus lessening the possibility of harm to the Earth.

One no longer has to worry that a modest amount of drinking (of this particular product) will have a serious impact on the planet. (Not that anyone who has a few drinks thinks about that anyway...) :rolleyes:
"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
