But, as much as it was painful to see, your points are spot on. There is much complacency and the true green movement is more of a trendy lifestyle that will ebb and flow in various economic times. The true "green" movement should be a logical progression of our global policies and lifestyles. I feel we need not place a label on common-sense policies and activities. The "Green Movement" really is only an ultra small piece of the overall picture. The trend is as great as it is noble, and it makes for a terrific and smart lifestyle... but it is not where the rubber hits the road, so to speak. Our future is about resolve, innovation and cognizance of the fact that we have to work repsonsibly and carefully with what our environment provides and within our own management of that environment. Complacency cannot be our goal or status. The headline here certainly raised an eyebrow when I saw it! But, as much as it was painful to see, your points are spot on.
