ok... STWers which colour would you fit into then...
Bright green:
Sustainability is best path to lasting prosperity
Any version of sustainability that does not focus on prosperity is ill founded
Focus on innovation, design, urban revitalization and entrepreneurship
Light green:
Emphasis on lifestyle/behavioural/consumer change as key to sustainability, or at least as the best mechanism for triggering broader changes.
Advocate change at the individual level.
Suggest that if you can get people to take small, pleasant steps they will not only make changes that can begin to make a difference in aggregate, but also begin larger transformations.
Theorists suggests that light green environmentalism, as a call for individuals to change, has helped spread the idea that concern for sustainability is cool. On the other hand, it is the target of much of "green fatigue“
Dark Green:
Tend to emphasize the need to pull back from consumerism and emphasize local solutions, short supply chains and direct connection to the land.
Strongly advocate change at the community level, bioregionalism, reinhabitation, and taking direct control over one's life and surroundings
Collective action.
Doom laden?
Some thinkers blend a belief in the rural relocalisation efforts of dark greens with the more design- and technology-focused urban solutions of bright greens
Greys:
What the problem?
Dark Green, with some Grey, Black and Orange bits.
Dark green. No growth society is important as well
dark green
All!
Medium green with some specific extreme views.
Any version of sustainability that does not focus on prosperity is ill founded
could you define prosperity for me??
Cant see how we can economic growth /ever greater wealth whilst using less personally cant see how we can talk about prosperity if we have nowhere to live.
light dark green and negative growth- I mean consuming less here- to achieve true sustainability probably with population control methods- cant see people voting for it so we are all doomed.

Ha!
innovation, design, urban revitalization and entrepreneurship are going to drive many areas of sustainability. Lifestyle/attitude change is the only way to make sustainability.....sustainable. Short supply chains and direct connection to the land; I wish we could do this, truth is, we are now too dependent on the supermarket type businesses. In BC, Canada they have the 100 mile diet where everything must come from within 100 miles. It would be nice to have a 50 mile diet here and other similar ideas.
bright green and purple
No anodized purple option? In that case dark green.
I'm very keen on short supply routes but I think we need to make small steps people are comfortable with. But I'd say I'm the dark green
Red.
What was the question again?

yes entrepreneurship will save us from the excesses of capitalism - excellent idea. Hah back 😉
we cant use less and be better off*. We need to consume less and then spread out what we have left more fairly - or have an army to stop them taking it- and we have much more than our fair share - people wont vote,or choose to be less well off.
* I mean simply money here which is not how I solely define wealth and well being but it is how the majority do I suspect.

Excess of capitalism? Sober up mate.
Nobody has suggested that we can't use less and be better off. The point is ideas such as renewable technologies, substitutes for oil etc will not be invented by people who will donate their ideas for the good of mankind. They will be sold for profit and a market will be created. Like it or not, this is the way it will be.
Millzy, what's your degree? I'm just finishing one in SD I could send you some papers if you're interested.
Light green
with little gold spots
So it will save us excellent I stand assured of this- does everyone who disagrees with you need to be pi55ed to fail to see your brilliance?
PS I am a somebody who has suggested that - do you really think we can have less and be materially better off?Nobody has suggested that we can't use less and be better off.
Bright green.
