Green Buckeye

You've probably seen the Treehugger and WorldChanging blogs - these two blogs are among the largest that focus on the environment. Even though they aren't "local," I've provided links to them in the sidebar since I scan them regularly myself looking for things that I can potentially provide a local perspective on here.

On Friday, Treehugger posted a survey that was created partially in response to this post on another blog called bottleworld.net. The original post on bottleworld is critical of the optimistic, consumerism-based stance taken by both TreeHugger and WorldChanging. Bottleman (the author) makes some great points about the responsibility sites like TH and WC have since they are now viewed as authorities on sustainability. And in the comments, Lloyd Alter of TH responds to the criticisms.

The posts and comments taken together are a fascinating read and expose and explicate some of the different approaches being taken by the myriad of people who care about the future of this planet and its inhabitants. If any of that interests you, I encourage you to click over and read the post and its related comments.
