Fine piece on Alan Durning and the Sightline Institute in the current Seattle Times magazine. Here’s the whole article, and here’s a clip:
ENVIRONMENTALISM IN the 1960s and ’70s went from protest to legislation to regulation, and achieved astonishing successes. Then came the 1980s anti-regulatory backlash that has gradually emasculated federal environmental leadership. No one is immune from this hostility, and Durning’s think tank recently changed its name from Northwest Environment Watch to Sightline to reassure that its information is nonpolitical, that both liberals and conservatives can be green.
(Sightline) concentrates more on changing the system than on reforming the individual. The group promotes eco-friendly incentives and tax breaks, green technology and dense, urban condo living.
You can link to Sightline in the blogroll to the left, or read the Daily Score (Sightline’s blog) here. Disclosure: I’m on the board.
