Go, Sustainable!

In a wonderful post written some time ago, "Children, Growth, and Extinction," Sustainable Girl ponders the vulnerability of our children to the market's ubiquitous snares, the rarely questioned idea that business "growth" is inevitable, and the increasing likelihood of quiet extinctions upcoming for many species of plant and animal due to global warming.

She follows this piece with one called "Little Consumers," a nice review of a book that details the surreal plot of giant corporations to capture our children's imaginations by marketing the group-think of stuff-lust. No kidding, have a look.
