Bioburden is a term used to describe things like how much damaging fertilizer runoff is going into a stream or river.

We now have to re-define the term to mean, also, how much tax money are we giving away for corn ethanol plants that should never have been built and corn ethanol fuel that should never have been produced. (You read it hear first! I am coining this new definition in real time.)

See my latest discussion of the pros and cons of biofuels, and the latest from the UN, at greenchemistry.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/un-food-expert-says-stop-biofuels-for-now/
