Denver One of the hidden wonders of this glorious convention is the lengths to which the Democrats have gone to be environmentally friendly. The media goodie bags, for instance, were filled with eco-worship products including pens made of recycled materials and a plastic bottle to carry water in so that you wouldn't buy other plastic water bottles. But my favorite so far has been the trash regime at the Pepsi Center. So far as I can tell, on the concourses in the Pepsi Center, there are no "trash" cans. Instead, at regular intervals there are sets of three bins, marked "Recyclable," "Compost," and "Landfill." And--here's the best part--each of these little bin centers is staffed with a person in a green t-shirt who stands behind them, mutely, watching you as you throw away your garbage. You couldn't make up a better symbol of Obama's America.
