All things in moderation...meaning green is good but some dangers concerning current state of evironment are overblow. I also believe that many companies are calling products green that may or may not be green...and were the manufacturing processes used always 'green'?

Today's headlines reported science findings that global warming has reached an irreversible stage that will last at best three thousand years. The good news is that we still have time to avert total disaster if we all act right now.
I'm deeply encouraged by all the web sites, Squidoo pages and blogs addressing global warming. I am grateful that our new president appears to have global warming on his radar.
Will our collective efforts be enough to save an environment suitable for humans and other mammals to thrive? It's up to us--every single one of us. We may have run out of time to save the world as we know it, but we do have time to make things better.
Lester Brown, in his Plan B 3.0 points the way. According to him, we have about 11 years left to make the changes we need. If we make them, we'll all have a better life and a better world. No more poverty. No more polluted oceans or air. That's the exciting news. We can afford it (Brown even has a budget). We can do it. We must act now.

Some of my fave must-visit websites
These online destinations sum up RESPONSIBLE DESIRE beautifully...
PURESHA - ORGANIC BEAUTYPuresha is at the cutting edge of pure beauty, and bring us a carefully selected, exclusive range of luxury, organic and natural beauty brands to indulge in. I adore their perfumes... they stock luxe labels Patyka and Tsi-La; They boast a stunning range of natural beauty products; And best of all, puresha's site oozes with WOW factor. Puresha is a must visit!
MIOCULTURE - SUSTAINABLE DECORMioculture's philosophy is "Responsible Desire", one the GIN lady shares. Their tagline says it all: Beautiful, Sustainable, Affordable. Mioculture's designs are highly innovative, offering unique eco wallcoverings, lighting, seating, furniture and clever storage. This is eco chic decor at its best.
KIRSTEN MUENSTER - ETHICAL GEMSKirsten Muenster, based in San Francisco, crafts ethically sourced materials into highly prized jewelry. Most jewels that we commonly invest in come from questionable sources and wreak havoc on communities and the environment. This is far from the case with Kirsten Muenster's enviable collection. Her custom designs take your breath away.
DAVINA HAWTHORNE - ETHICAL HAUTE COUTUREDavina Hawthorne has to be one of the most talented eco designers around. Based in London, Davina conjures up the most creative couture and ready to wear designs I know. I simply can't wait to interview her. Davina's cutting edge designs are both sculptural and sustainable.
COCO DE MER - EROTIC ETHICSCoco de Mer's website is nothing short of sumptious. This is erotic luxury with ethics. Not surprising when you consider its the brainchild of the late Anita Roddick's (Body Shop) daughter, Sam. Coco de Mer is unashameably uninhibited about sex. If you are too, and desire fair traded goods, then Coco De Mer is the perfect destination.
DAYLESFORD ORGANIC - SEASONAL LARDERDaylesford Organic sets a high standard when it comes to food. And I like their diversied approach: Home deliveries, Farm Shop, Cafes and Delis. I want to devour the whole delicious lot. Daylesford capture the best in food: Local, Seasonal & Organic
ARAVORE - ORGANIC BABIESAravore Babies fashion and bedding is made with great care and ethical materials: Fairly traded organic cotton and merino wool. But it's their designs that set Aravore apart. So cute you wish your little munchkins didn't grow up so fast!And so good the next in line won't mind the hand-me-downs!
Are you under the influence?
It's an awe inspiring journey...
Let's share it together!

I was blown away to find two of my lenses listed as favorites on your profile page. Thank you! I sent a Tweet after participating in your duel. I hope you get other opinions there soon. Carrotmob and greenfinger both new to me, so thank you for that info and other fine links as well. Please build more lenses and send Squidcasts when you do. I want to keep up with your work. I would have gone to your blog, but did not see an active link on this lens. Did I miss?
