  A prophet for our times

  Jabailo,

  You comments do much to further the public discourse.  I hope you continue to enlighten Grist readers with your impregnable wit.  If only political leaders would read your comments, we could abandon discussion of environmentalism once and for all.  Keep up the good work!On Martin Who? posted 2 years, 9 months ago 7 Responses

  Corporations Could Help

  Of course corporations are solely focused on the profit motive.  But that doesn't mean that environmental interests can't converge with corporate interests.  Corporations have the potential to make money from sustainable technologies.  And we need corporations that have such large amounts of money to invest in developing  sustainable ways to produce energy.  The government sure as hell isn't doing that now, and won't under the Bush regime.  Even though corporations are concerned with money, they can still help the environmental cause.  In fact, engaging in such enterprises makes them look good becuase it seems as if they have social consciences.  Corporations must still be watched carefully, but they have the potential to contribute positively to environmental issues.On Romance blossoms between big biz and enviros over a candlelit dinner posted 2 years, 9 months ago 4 Responses

  Green Beer

  I live in Fort Collins and make it to the New Belgium Brewery often.  I would encourage others to go if they are in town.  They are the most environmentally conscious company I know of.  They are 100% wind-powered and seem to consider the environmental impacts of every business decision.   Check out their committment to sustainability:

  Plus, they make some damn good beer.  Try 1554 and if you get to the brewery, drink some La Folie.On New Belgium beermakers to brew algae-based biodiesel posted 2 years, 9 months ago 3 Responses

  Editing

  Sorry about the editing, I'm new at this.  Let me say that again.

  Even though the outcomes are uncertain, it is reasonable to believe that future generations will be negatively affected.  As long as we believe this and we value future generations, then it is clear that policies which facilitate global warming are wrong.On Some inconvenient truths posted 3 years, 4 months ago 24 Responses
