Text entries from a real "Green Chemist" (Scott Gordon from GreenTech)

eat now, pay later
consume now, trash later. Stop!
Sustain now and thrive


green it everyone
green it up and down, and then
green it all around


from nothing comes all,
all comes to nothing, and yet
something is hope


from the makers hand
to the users reaching grasp
forged once again

from the fetid comes
the heady scent of success
crowned with flowers

ooze and muck
to the dizzying spire
spring anew

longing to be new
the beaten down rise once more
seeking great conquest


the humblest each
find a common destiny
as part of all things
