Sustainability, Green and other words have lost some of their power as they have become another form of materialism marketing as seen by the "green" tv show I recently watched where another McMansion was built using "green" technology, yes it might have green technologies, but all the extra materials that go into a McMansion (see my comment under the handle Mark J.) can never truly be green. How about using less? Can your ego handle it? This aside any effort to conserve and use resources more wisely is a valient effort.

- Bogotá: Building a Sustainable City - This short video touched me deeply and it gave me hope that there are leaders who want to do good for all people not just the elite and special interest groups.
