Blooming and Bold


Without the buzzards and bees

Where would we bee?


A blog by Nicolle Kuna

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.

Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.

Are greenies becoming too extreme?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jun/17/ethical-living-eating-honey-lucy-siegle


Here is a link to the Guardian, and the question by a vegan is whether it's okay to eat honey?


I read with disbelief the opening suggestion that aside from dairy food, unsustainable fish or meat, we are meant to give up honey as well!


My worry is that vegans are leading the way in showing environmental causes as a general pain in the proverbial for the masses.  I worry that such extremism is doing some harm to our environmental causes.


As my interest which is how we portray ourselves in the media, and how green issues are promoted, this is something seriously greenies as a group at large need to 'masticate' over.  How extreme do we want to appear? These are issues I discuss in my book - Green Spin - Promoting the Green Message, now out  on Amazon as a Kindle, and for loan (the more environmentally friendly versions.)
