The pride of the hipster food movement is sort of annoying but it fascinates me.

The environmental movement like all political processes reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow very gradual disasters in the making.

A fascinating challenge facing today's environmental movement is how to best approach the reversal of past decisions that altered once-pristine environmental spaces for the sake of urgent man-made needs.
