Are greenies becoming too extreme?

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.)

Very distractible month

Very pleased to see more journalists addressing the algal bloom issue,

Great stuff.  See my tweet of yesterday and go to the link on there.

Otherwise, have been distracted this month, as my book, Green Spin - Promoting the Green Message is all approved by Create Space/Amazon, and just now am waiting on the proof to come in the mail.  It will be available for sale on $12.99 (13 isn't such an unlucky number I hope).  Then it will be released as a kindle book.

Then I am also doing a new edition of my first book, Common Sense Law which I also intend to self-publish.

The new age of self-publishing is a very free one, compared with what I've experienced before.
