[Greenbuilding] That Natural Feeling

[Gennaro Brooks-Church]

You can't find balance until you know what the extremes are and the
naturalist/techie duality are two of life's extremes. Also some people
naturally lean towards one, the other or neither or both. David and
Corwyn you may claim you are zen enough to be at peace with the yin
and yang of life or maybe you naturally lean towards the center but I
have seen enough heated discussions between the techie geeks and the
naturalists to know that these two views exist. Obviously most people
dip into whatever camp is needed at the time but my point is that it
is important to acknowledge that people naturally lean to a certain
tendency.
If you throw everyone into the melting pot you get sludge.
