...readily to green causes; in a 2006 survey, 65% said they were "environmentalists at heart." But there are limits to how much they're willing to pay for virtue. Emissions-cutting measures that save money - like low-energy light bulbs and more efficient appliances - have been widely adopted. But costlier items, like gas and solar hot water heaters, solar power panels, and rainwater tanks, have needed government subsidies to win consumer support. And while 60-70% of Australians approve of renewable energy, only 8% have signed up to GreenPower schemes, in which they pay extra to get part of their...

The first of its kind, it provided an alternative to the costlier--and clunkier--solar panels that are just slapped onto rooftops...
...eggs argue that the costs are unjustified. Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) is already cash-strapped, unable to extend dining hall hours or to routinely offer fair-trade bananas. Annenberg hall uses eightgallons of eggs a day; better, critics argue, to address dining essentials before paying to switch to costlier eggs...
