Joe Clement brings us some history of Green movement, with a review of debates over how to address the contradiction between environmental survivability and capitalist economic growth.  In this archive segment,  he reads from  Black, White, and Green: Farmers Markets, Race, and the Green Economy by Alison Hope Alkon, in which she discusses climate discourses following the Club of Rome's 1972 report on Limits to Growth.  This segment ends with a song from The Lorax.
