Mister, All there is in the bellow response is a good amount of irrational fear [not that fear is ever rational, but this is panic] and a senseless second paragraph resulting from an ill attempt to ridicule my sensible use of points within words to clarify meanings. Why that much negativity? How is one installation possibly compromising 'public good'? Whose 'current eco-consumerism' [speaking about labeling]? I have been working and living sustainability for more than thirty years. HOw about you? Living with better understanding of own surroundings and interdependency of living forms is a way of life, not consumerism. Nothing oriented towards ecological living could possibly 'compromise' your 'citizenship'. On the contrary. Let's just put an effort in being a little more positive. Best,Ana
