That's encouraging, certainly. And I think there is a new groundswell 
of interest in sustainable and organic living. It just needs to make 
that shift from a movement to something that ordinary people do.

One thing I have noticed is that people who used to pooh-pooh the 
conservation of natural resources (like water) are now singing a 
different song. But it has taken much-publicized near-crises to bring 
that about.
