I agree entirely that a “green” industrial-consumer society is an oxymoron. But there is another option you overlook: Permaculture. Starting in our own backyards, we can incrementally reduce our dependence on Glomart by growing gardens, growing community, and growing awareness. Activism is necessary, but it can only slow down the Glomart juggernaut—whereas Permaculture can replace it, one backyard at a time.
