Hi John,

Nither do i. However not in the context of the greens. And in fact it is 
quite interesting that people on this list are just talking about 
consumption. The key question here i think is not this guilt ridden 
middleclass ideology, but envionment in the places of production, the 
ghettoes, etc.linked to healthcare and childcare and that sort of thing.Not 
some mishmash support group for cleaning up the planet on principle. I don,t 
really care if the rich die in their suburban homes. But i do care that kids 
die in the ghettoes and workers die because of the envionment in there work 
places..

Warm Regards
malecki in exile
