green building

I've been thinking all week about the greening of our culture that seems to be underway. Out there in America 2006 was "the Green Year." Over the months I collected "Green Issue" covers from TIME, NEWSWEEK, and VANITY FAIR. There were others I'm sure I missed. From January to December "Green" became a national media watchword. Almost every day there was something on TV or in the news about global warming. "A threat graver than terrorism," VANITY FAIR called it. "From politics to lifestyle… Saving the environment is suddenly hot," NEWSWEEK claimed on its cover last July.
