Tim Willard of The Future is Green stands apart from many other ‘green news’ blogs in one very good way: he is relentlessly positive. In just the last few days, he’s summarized and referred to articles about new processes to make cheaper ethanol, how the demand for organic food is now so great it’s outstripping supply, that California is about to build the largest solar power plant in the world, about breakthroughs in using the tides to generate powers, and the remarkable concept, touted by the city’s mayor, that Chicago should become the world’s greenest city.

Whenever we feel weighed down by the bad news from every quarter, this blog reminds us of the inevitable: the future MUST be green (or there may not be a future at all).
