Hi all,

Here you will find a link to a very interesting article by Spanish architect Inaki Abalos. Unluckily I cannot find an English version of it and in the web page is only available in French and Spanish. I do not know how good your Spanish is but it definitely deserves giving it a try.

Best,

M

Like Bjarke was saying during our pinup, the environmental movement needs to mediate people's unsustainable lifestyles and peculiar desires when promoting their agenda. When Colbert uses hair spray in front of the Sierra Club director, he is making a point about when this movement falls short, and yet it brings out of him the most important point: it's all about ecological footprint. Even if you flew over here, at least you recycle.
