With Earth Day around the corner, thoughts and plans turn to green. The annual commemoration on April 22 started 40 years ago, and its significance has grown beyond recycling and picking up litter.
Today politicians promote “green jobs” as part of the sustainable energy industry. Economists argue for greening the economy. Builders seek to have new homes and skyscrapers certified as green. And of course questions about climate change affect us all.
