  Enough with the PR already!

  I think the idea of being either "blue" and/or "green" is ridiculous.

  "Environmentalism" is the term that has brought us to this point in history where we are even aware enough as a society about these issues to debate these superficial terms.

  The only departure from environmentalism - as practiced - I've read about is what Van Jones describes as a new philosophy which emphasizes priroritizing lower income communities with green collar jobs, rather than regulation, in some situations. That is a significantly different approach in my opinion.

  However, SHellenberger and Nordhouse(or however you spell it) are wrong in that this new philosophy is not a difference in spirit of environmentalism and or in fundamental values from environmentalism, which they seem to think it is. It is simply a different approach.

  I'll bet that most people didn't even know that was happening. I'll definitely bet most Americans did not know about that. Goes to show the importance of covering an issue.On Groups band together to save Sherwood Forest posted 2 years ago 4 Responses
