I am doing a course on environmental responsibility, and have just read a really good exerpt from Michael Maniates - plant a tree, buy a bike, save the world? It basically argues that Western (actually US) - but applies to the West in general) paterns of consumption prevent collective social action, increase individualism, and do further environmental damage. Is a similar line of thought to the above, and advocates for creative solutions and new ways of thinking. Glad to see that you are still quoting Maslow :) would highly recommend Maniates if you havent read it already. take care Liz Hi Peter
