So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

I love the grasshopper but it is not named,and I would like to know the genus at least–and presumably it lives where the plant Calatropis gigantea grows, which is pretty much all over the tropical or semi-tropical world, though it is native to India (I think).
