Blognosis
Personally, I hate the word 'blog.' But we're stuck with it, I guess. Not just blog, the noun, either, but also blog, the verb, and of course all the many offshoots, like blogger and blogosphere. So far, though, I've yet to hear it as an adjective. So allow me. Gregory Dicum runs down the green scene, blogwise, in his blog-like (one might say blogular) SFGate column, "Green." He does a nice job, too, not only giving Carl Pope's Taking the Initiative a nod, but also reminding me that our links list (what some folks call a blogroll) is sorely inadequate. I've been meaning to get on that, and I will, I promise. In fact, if you have a favorite link that Dicum missed but that you'd like to see included, here's your chance. Leave a comment and pass along the names of your favorite environmentally-themed ... you know ... web-journal-thingies.

A postscript:
I didn't comment on it in my main post, but the headline of the SFGate article (or I should say, the homepage teaser for it) made me wince a bit. It was: "Bloggers Against Loggers."
Now, I'm sure the rhyme was just too good to resist, but it gives what I think is a bad impression. Are we really anti-logger? Or is it that we're pro-old growth, pro-habitat, pro-sensible forestry?
Anyway, I was relieved to have come across this headline later in the day: Loggers, activists find common forest ground. We should hope for more like that.
At the risk of sounding all Age of Aquarius, can't we all just get along?
Okay, then, here's another one, from Fortune online. It's called: Saving Trees the Smart Way -- about how companies like Home Depot are working with the Forest Stewardship Council and Rainforest Action Network.
That's what I'm talking bout.
