“enviro-friendly, sustainable life”
Out here on the left coast shortly after 2000, we started running into this Green Sustainable bs in restaurants, farmers markets, grocery stores, farmers’s markets and other areas of business where food is bought and sold directly to the end consumers.
Their premise is that they can force us into eating and wearing what is grown locally with minimal use of tractors, trucks and other ‘evil in their mental illness’ carbon powered vehicles, at first. Later when we are crammed into these hell holes, called biospheres, we will have no vehicles, just communtity bikes.
About 4-5 years ago, this green sustainable bs really got into high gear. I can remember one of these green princesses telling us that we should only eat what was raised with walking distance from where we live. Of course everything raised had to be organic with all the bugs/critter inside the fruit/vegetables and outside.
I asked her what she planned to do with the 98% of us who lived in a county with mere handful of small acreage so called farmers. She said “There will be plenty of food for us!”
Again I asked, what was she going to do with the 98% of us without gardens, who would starve based on the limited production of the so called organic growers, in our local area.
Her response, “There would be no problem!”
I replied, “Like Hitler’s final solution!”
That was when the discussion died.
Since then, I refuse to eat in a restaurant that advertises that its menu comes from local sustainable farmers, ranchers and so called professional fishers.
One look around Arcosanti will tell you that what little was built, was made by people who make designs on paper, not with experience in building things, or understanding of materials, or economics, or business, or history, or energy, or water, or ergonomics, or agriculture, etc.
Nor are they interested in learning any of these things. Instead they feed from the endless numbers of naive art students, and gullible tourists.
Sounds like a metaphor for what the Omaba administration is doing to America...
Exactly like the Chi-coms did under Mao in the 1970's!!! I can still see them swarming the streets of Peking with their coolee cone hats bobbing along!!!
We had a guy over in Placer County that worked for the federal soil conservation district, now called the "Resource Conservation District" that was promoting the "Placer Grown" program.
I used to tease him by calling it... "Placer Groan," instead. He's probably another reason I didn't get re-elected, Ha Ha Ha!!!
No that’s the Biosphere II north of Tucson. It didn’t work either. Made a trip to the Arcology place. They sell interesting over priced bells to support themselves. Thinking they aren’t going to do any better under Hope and Change.
On the other hand, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin is well worth the trip and money.

I love it. GD slay 'em with wit and undeniable logic. Way to do. Bunch a friggin idiots.
Tell 'em I have have a bunch of predigested, recycled soft hot logs they can eat and wash it down with some recycled, filtered lemonade colored liquid hourishment. All very "sustainable."
