Sorry I was so jumbled in my last comment. I was dealing with a migraine. To sum it up… For over a million of us Adam Werbach helped tame the Big Green Monster that all the green professionals including him had helped to create. He showed us that even the poorest and least educated of us can make a difference, even if we do not have degrees or famous names. We do, by the way, make up most of the population of this fragile planet, and most of do care but we didn’t know what to do or where to start. Thanks to Adam, now we are learning how to care for each other and our world. That is what blue is all about…taming the big green monster.

As one of over a million Walmart associates who believe in PSP I want to tell you that Adam Werbach is one of the very few “green” people that I have ever seen care about us millions of ordinary people have seen the green professionals turn green into a huge green monster that we we are just overwhelmed by. I have never seen any of you other “green pro.s even give one damn about whether we know that we millions of non-professional “green” people can make a huge difference in the condition of our world just by making the small choices to do so. Adam took the time to bring green out from the closed doors of summit meetings and conferences and helped to inspire over one million people to first care and then take action in our lives and homes and our communities. That is no small fete because most of us have always believed that all of you green people are snobs and you seem to believe that you have all the answers and that the millions of the rest of us are just too stupid to be able to help heal our home-earth. Adam was willing to step outside the “green” box and enlighten us ordinary people about our contributions’ ability to help change the dire situation that we as citizens of this planet face.

I agree John – it is more than the name. Our success in supporting sustainability and the greening our culture puts us in place where the distinction will be more than what we call our product or service. It will be what and how that product or service performs. As you said at LOAHS, we need to be unique because we are not only walking our talk; we are leading other in walking the green or now blue walk.
