I've been in Los Angeles getting some gear ready for a shoot. This morning I went down to the local cafe to get some coffee and a muffin. As the girl handed me the coffee lid she said, "it's made of biodegradable material so it's a bit fragile, if you need another one, lemme know".

I wish the [smug bastard was wrong]((http://www.viridiandesign.org/2007/01/viridian-note-00487-we-are-winning.html) occasionally:

When the brown alternative begins disappearing wholesale, when that's simply unavailable and we have to live Corporate Green, then green will not be sexy. No, Green will just be what there is. Brown could not be sustained. So Brown died. Green will work better eventually, but when we first get it, the alpha-rollout of a sustainable world... man, is that ever going to suck. I own some eco-chic shoes. I had to stop wearing them because they were rotting right off of my feet. It'll be like that, okay? Only more so. We're not gonna win pretty; we are gonna win kinda ugly, frankly – but we are winning.

PS. This is not a complaint, this is humour.
