I responded to one of your posts a while back asking who will be the "first" green company in the automotive category. That question can be expanded to other categories now. Which ever company get there first (in any category) in the minds of consumers, they will have all the spoils. If I were the ad agency for Home Depot I would run a series of ads with their ubiquitous orange logo in green. Good for them. But you're right, we are living in the residual of our prior actions and need to create habbits now, that will result in changes for the future. dk Good to see some companies stepping up.

But let's also be clear: the war in Iraq, and all the other wars resulting from the attempt to control oil and world, are central issues. It is impossible -- simply out of the question -- to mobilize the national and global resources needed to avert environmental catastrophe, and to focus the necessary attention on this life-or-death-for-our-species struggle, while continuing to live in a Permanent War Economy. This is apart from the devastating direct environmental impact and wasted resources of the wars themselves. Excellent news, and the rising consciousness is all to the good.
