    Totally sustainable. I think if more Americans lived in 55 acre properties there would be less homeless people, less crime, more endangered species, all good things. Where is the banner that reads ‘mission accomplished’?

    Words matter. The four “R”s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Re-purpose) are a great, simple guide to going green. But often these words are used inappropriately, and we miss chances to education the public.

    For example, in this article:

    The plane wings are claimed to be “recycled”, but actually they are “Re-purposed” as a roof. A Recycled wing would either be used a wing on another plane, or melted into new aluminum.

    Not a small issue- if everytime we look at “trash” and see all of the Four R’s, much of that trash would become treasure.
