The money problem is, for a lot of people, not insignificant -- and even where money is present, as you say, it's a matter of sorting the priorities.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked this review! It took a couple of days of mulling it over before I could get all the major points out in a coherent way. Glad it worked!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-32007159741331147062009-04-23T09:26:00.000-04:002009-04-23T09:26:00.000-04:00Wow!

I think you have touched on the most important problem with the so-called 'green' movement as well as the food movement. Money. It's great to think of using paints that don't give off fumes, but at such a higher cost, only the wealthy will buy them. It's a wonderful thing to eat fresh, local vegetables from the farmers markets but many people simply cannot afford them. And even as I write this, I am fully aware that some of the people who complain about the high cost are out buying beer and cigarettes and heading to restaurants several times a week. It's like people have gotten into a rut of eating and living and they can't get themselves out. Thank you for a really wonderful post.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
