Sharing for what purpose, heric? To what end?

pattyClink, I agree with you, but I would go further. Consistent with your observations about unsustainable development and growth, it is individual citizens who create the demand that creates the market opportunities that corporations exploit.   We need to recognize all variables in the equation and hold ourselves and other individuals just as responsible as we hold the corporations.

The water of the Great Lakes region needs to stay in that region.

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

The notion of growth as a good thing anywhere needs to be deep-sixed. The human race has outgrown it's bounds. a new paradigm of sustainability needs to replace it. Globally, and even nationally, sustainability already requires shrinkage, not growth.
