fascinating read ian, thanks.  while my efforts to green the planet 
are minimal (i don't own a car and only ride a bike, flick off my 
lights, etc.) i work with a green activist.  johan hultqvist, the 
charismatic lead vocalist for Mr. Something Something gives 
passionate green speak from the stage and is organizing on small and 
large scales.  the band's next CD will not be packaged in plastic, 
for example.

here in toronto, johnny dovercourt aka jonathan bunce wrote a chapter 
in the first uTOpia book about a futuristic music centre operating 
entirely with a green plan.  the future had virtually eliminated 
fossil fuel so all music was local, and the centre was run on various 
on-site gases.

i expect this topic has room to grow (sic) in the music "industry".
