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.

The same kind of picture could be drawn on how we carve up the earth!

I shouldn’t have liked this post because this is really depressing. So consider my like just an acknowledgement of having seen the post rather than actually liking the image.

>Rachel, I do that too because sometimes it’s a way of acknowledging that you’ve been there without having a comment to make. Also, I believe likes make the post more visible (you may be able to confirm or deny that supposition).

Well, they’ve got to research the taste, texture, cooking methods that work well…

The thing that makes it depressing is the over fishing, the sheer greed of the Japanese is reducing whale populations.
