Those are all good questions, James, and worthy of discussion… I think much of it comes down to meeting people where they are: some will watch GARBAGE WARRIOR and decide they want to live an “off-the-grid” lifestyle, while others will find more attraction in adding a geothermal heating unit to their suburban home, or growing their own tomatoes with a Topsy Turvy they saw in one of those awful infomercials. Ultimately, we need more people taking substantive action… but we’ve also got to realize that everyone won’t get their via the same path…

I never knew there were so many colors of “green”. Perhaps just as one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, one person’s green idea is another person’s blot on the landscape. These pages would be a great place to establish a dialogue on just what is “green”. It certainly appears Mr. Redfors “sees” in different shades of green (see his views on development in his Napa neighborhood in a NY Times Green Inc. posting for April 29 – Is a Green Housing Development Too Close to Home for Robert Redford? – by Leora Broydo Vestel). And of course we have The Edge from U2 wanting to create a vast “green showpiece” in Malibu, opposed by his neighbors who already HAVE their own little piece of heaven. Can satisfying human appetites and desires ever be truly “green”? How do we distinguish “green necessities” from “green toys”.

But who will they sue when they find something wrong? God?
