Recently, I attended a sustainable design conference at the Rhode Island School of Design. I was struck by a question that speaker, Matt Grisby of Ecolect posed to the audience:
"Have you ever met an ex-environmentalist?"
The audience nodded their heads in agreement that they hadn't. Once you are one, you stay one.
Since we all are, and know environmentalists, and a smart environmentalist will say they want nothing this holiday season, what did Matt mention that they should want? Well, he said that everyone needs more education about going green because the information and technology is constantly changing.
With that in mind, why not send an e-card to the uber-environmentalist on your list and include the best environmental podcasts and videos. Add a quote like my favorite one from William Mc Donough:
"Sustainability takes forever. And that's the point."
