This months topic: With more and more mention in the media of windmills, low-energy homes, fuel-efficient cars and recycling programsgreen living is definitely on our minds. But does all this attention indicate a shift in the way Americans are approaching environmental issues and their personal choices? Is the sustainability trend real, and is it sustainable?
