Lodge Logic 12″ Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

In this post I’m going to discuss the criteria for what makes a product green and then apply those criteria to the Lodge Logic Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet or frying pan.

When looking at green issues it is very easy to be one dimensional. It is the mainstream media that does it. The news bangs on and on about something until we all believe it and are regurgitating these media sound bites like they were our own ideas.

One of the big media ideas about environmentalism is that it is all about sustainability. Well sustainability is a very important concept. If we cannot make a business from a resource which is sustainable then sooner or later that resource is going to run out and then the business will collapse for the want of raw materials. A good example of the importance of sustainability is forestry management. If we only cut down trees selectively in a forest then the forest will continue to survive and flourish as a living eco-system and a habitat for wild flora and fauna. If on the other hand we clear cut huge swathes of a forest then eventually the forest will die from soil erosion and the pollution caused by pesticide wielding agriculturalists looking to make a quick buck.

The trouble is that not all our needs can be realistically discussed in terms of sustainability as it is commonly understood. I’m a big big fan of bamboo and hemp but I understand that these materials are useless to make skillets.
