I don’t get George Monbiot’s problem<\/a> with this list<\/a> of 20 “Green Giants” singled out by the Guardian’s Sunday Observer. Are such lists arbitrary and pure fluff? Sure. But Monbiot’s beef goes way beyond that:<\/p>\n

To me, eco and power occupy different spheres. The environmentalism I recognise is a challenge to power. It confronts a system which allows a handful of people to dominate our lives and capture our resources.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
