Greenlist: Interviews and changing consumerism

Dilemma >> Deconsumerism, from The Compact to the Really Really Free market: Buy nothing new for a year -- or longer --

>> Community plus networking to reuse and recycle: A fun interview with Craig Newmark and Jim Buckmaster, the founder and CEO, respectively, of Craigslist on Freakonomics.

>> The Omnivore's Dilemma author Michael Pollan chats about food and the new book he's been working on, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. Pollan says with food "you have a power here that you don't have elsewhere. You've got three votes a day, and how you cast those votes, we have seen over the last few years, has a tremendous effect."
