Green Bubble Struggle

Reading these two articles from The New Republic really gets you thinking. After reading "The Green Bubble,"it seems as though people want their personal actions to be environmentally friendly, but perhaps this desire is only superficial. "The Green Bubble" article discusses the rise and fall in "green" trends over the past few decades and seems like the trend is primarily associated with extreme leftists. This perception is one that I believe has hindered progress to some degree in the environmental field.

In the second article from The New Republic, "Power Struggle," the author discusses society's reliance on technology for solutions to our environmental concerns. Although technology may play a vital role in creating sustainable living practices, I believe it is unwise to rely heavily on technology that has yet to be created.
