Wired Goes Green

Wired Goes GreenIn keeping with our recent green mag theme around here, Wired has embraced green living with their latest issue. Al Gore graces the cover (they talk about his "resurrection" since nearly becoming President in 2000) and inside, among others, is an article by SSF pal Alex Steffen (head-honcho over at WorldChanging) about how technology is dragging environmentalism out of the anti-business, anti-consumer stone age, which is very worthwhile reading. Also included is a piece about the "emerging tribes of neo-green consumers" who are realizing the power of conscious consumption and "voting with your dollars," which, while not a revolutionary thought, (we've been preaching it here for almost three years) is good to see in a big publication like Wired. In the same vein, they have a quick question and answer session about living green, and even a handy carbon quiz to calculate your personal impact on our warming climate. Good stuff, all. Check it out at wired.com.

Al Gore is NOT green

Al Gore is not green. Al Gore is for Al Gore. He can no longer depend on the Tennessee Democrat machine or national Democrats for a power base so, he is going to surf the green wave back to power. This man is poison.

We need all/any green we can get.

Even if he is poison, he'll bring more attention to the issues than anyone else has been able to do recently. He does also have a track record on these issues going pretty far back. The fact that he's getting louder about them, even if it is to get more power, is fine by me.

Go Alex!

Saw it, read it, loved it. Go Alex!!!
