That NESEA is finally considering walking its talk. But how is it possible that this has not been given highest priority until now?

And why is it that many progressive organizations are way behind conservative establishments when it comes to doing as they preach?

I recently quit teaching sustainable design and building at Yestermorrow in Warren VT, after 5 years of teaching up to 15 classes per year, because they refuse to become a smoke-free campus like more than 400 US colleges and hundreds of corporations and municipalities have already done – and as the US Military is working toward for 2013!!!!!

I’ve had to boycott SolarFest for the past five years for the same reason – they refuse to put health and safety above the (illusory) concern that it might exclude a class of people who deserve to be educated about living well while they choose to poison the air that others are forced to breathe.

Corporate America has been going “green” for some time, and NESEA is dragging its feet? What’s wrong with this picture?
