For almost its entire existence, the green movement has pushed "natural," derided human intervention and dreamed of a virgin world of primordial beauty free from the scourge of humanity. But is that really what we should be looking for? Is that a real path to an improved world or just an impossible dream, distracting us from attainable goals? A new group of green activists take a bit of a different approach, saying we need to drop our romantic fantasies and realize the world for what it is today...a mixture of human-footprints and nature...and work to make that as best as possible. Take a look.
