natural capitalism or color field?

No, this isn't what happens when no one scores a decisive victory in the primaries. It's not free-range money making, nor tepid, rather than steroidistic growth of your money market account. Imagine it to be something more along the lines of Wall Street meets the Land Institute, if they could meet and decide on a common purpose. A place where your money works for the benefit of everyone.

Tricky business or valued optimism?

Luminous gesture constrained by shapes?

Diluted greed?

Hard to stay, but the sweeping canvas painted by Heather Lovins recently at the Central Library provided an optimistic tone to an often bleak outlook where it seems as though even your grandmother is calling for a future of rising temperatures and populations, massive extinctions while also prognosticating dwindling water supplies, lower standards-of-living, and diminished supplies of affordable food.

Lovins talk sounded a lot like the socialism of old, except that now it's OK to make lot's of money as long as your carbon credit sheet is balanced. Socialism, as a term, is as out-of-fashion as Castro, so the term Natural Capitalism is coined to appease the business types. Really, it doesn't matter what we call as long as mindless consumption, wars-for-oil, and toxifying the planet take an extended hiatus. And business has to be involved in the solution. Or we're dinked.
