[Leica] OT: Why God Made UV Filters

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Right.
I also googled after I posted
and found only the claim
without any substantiation, facts or science
(perhaps the book provides them).

I have a hard time imagining that
producing and moving dog food for ten years
takes more energy than
producing and moving steel, plastic, leather, paint, rubber, oil,  
gasoline, antifreeze, brake and other fluids for ten years;
not to mention the carbon cost of recycling the SUV vs. DOG.

One of my dogs ate mostly left overs from our kitchen table.

I'll remain skeptical without running out to buy their book.
