in his lecture from monday, mr. brooks discussed that
"localism is very much related to the current craze for styling one's endeavors as green."
but that our entire system was working against being "green."
obviously we need to make significant changes in our system.
how do you suppose we actually become" green?" where does it start? where does it end? and what are the steps that go in between? or is it not baby steps into a sustainable lifestyle, but one giant step to a different way of living for everyone?

I think the main problem with "going green" in many small baby steps is that most of the sustainable products on the market today are created in "green" ways and then shipped around the world to consumers. This totally defeats the purpose of sustainibility. In my opinion the significant changes that need to be made include sustainable design, but more importantly need to focus on locality. As Mr. Brooks stated "localism is very much related...". Unfortunately I think we will have many more problems with our system working against localism than it even does against "green"
I completely agree. I wonder if we have made it impossible to even have a "green" system.
