Does Green/Sustainability Issues Need Black Folks?

I don't live in a $6 million dollar custom built eco-friendly home. I love polar bears but I've got survival problems too. As much as I applaud Whole Foods decision not to dispense plastic bags at their markets it doesn't mean much if I can't afford to shop in the store on a regular basis. Let me be blunt. When I see video of Haitians eating dirt cookies made of honey, when I hear of Asian countries that have rice shortages and vendors starting to water down gas supplies it is time to engage everyone on issues sustainability.  It is time to end the green apartheid divide.
