Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
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.

What a great find – very ironic. I shall remember this next time I’m walking down an Orchard street or Chestnut avenue watching people washing their cars, emptying their garbage cans and avoiding the dog shit on the pavements.

>Lottie, we are very good at tearing up trees. Pity. I believe we should be made to build around them.
