Green News Update is starting 2018 – a little late! — with hope and some optimism. Our cup runneth over with ideas and smart projects– brought to us by able people who want to be part of the future and  fix intractable problems on every part of the planet.

We’ll bring you stories of urban life, cities (big and small), our natural heritage, untouched places, and the pleasures of quiet contemplation.

We’ll introduce you to inventors, writers, thinkers, experts, creators and fixers. You’ll like these folks – they could be your buddy in the next cubicle or a neighbor.  While they’re busy building cities and fixing the human-made problems of our era, they have a common mantra:  consume less, use less, want less, share more, leave more for the next generation.

We’ll remind you: it makes sense to tread lightly, leave as small a footprint as possible.

Come along for the ride in 2018.  Resist the idea that looking back offers more than working hard for tomorrow.
