Hi, Geoffrey,
Hope you are having (or had,
I'm not sure when you were
coming back) a great vacation.
I just wanted to check in to
see if you would be able to
make me some cabinets before
September 22, when I open. I
love the tables so much and I
think the cabinets would look
great too. Please give me a
call when you get back to

Thank you for our gorgeous
table.

Round for around $360..

Furnitureman,

Thank you
for the our new table. We will love it well. I'm sorry the drive took you so
long. Hope it didn't muddle up your
day too much. If I hadn't had my meeting, I
would have had you in for tea
or something of the sort. I will recommend you to anyone
I know of who's looking for
sturdy beautiful handmade things (and
my mom might hit you up too). You're also welcome to use me
as a reference for prospective customers, or quote my raving
reviews on your website. I very much appreciate your kindness
and good-natured communication. Hope your trip is fruitful and
fun. Wow, sounds like you did have a
better day than I did, though mine was pretty darn good just
the same. It started out the
night before when things magically
fell into place and a nice man
agreed to bring me a table. Then in
the morning I went to my
meeting (and I wasn't late!) which was
a power point presentation on the human breast (I'm a
midwife.) It was interesting
but sometimes I think people take the fun out
of everything when they
over-analyze it scientifically. It's just a
breast! A wonderful breast but still just a breast. Women have
them, babies eat from them.
Point taken. Then I had a nice drive
home and smiled lovingly at the table which came from a tree
that had already been cut down
somewhere long ago and someone had put it
all together lovingly with his hands and now we can all gather
around it, eat some good food, have some long talks, drink a
beer or two. Maybe my grandkids will sit at it one day and
remember what mark came from
what family dinner. We'll make art
on it, knead bread on it, play games across it. And then my
partner Carlos and I went to
teach our salsa (dance) class and
everybody had a good old time.
Then we got home and he made me a
Cuban feast of platanos, black
beans and rice, bistec and avocado
salad.
So, that's where food comes in.
Oh, man, I should have warned you about the prices in this
town! It's kind of a local
rule...don't eat out! Though it sounds like
the food was tasty. You'll have to let us invite you to dinner
at our house (no numbers
attached) if you ever are willing to come
this way again! And your
friend, Craig, too. Well, I'm glad all worked out.
Having a good attitude sure
makes life smoother, eh? I very much
appreciate yours. It's true
that while there is a monetary
economy that runs the world and
causes all sorts of problems like wars
and poverty, there is also a very strong economy of kindness
in which serendipity is on your side if you put goodness out
into the world.
Take care and safe travels and
keep in touch.
Peace, Brooke

First of all, thanks furnitureman for a
great harvest table. We had bought the table, made
from cypress, from you in the
spring and absolutely love it. We were
wondering if you had any
shelves that are longer than taller,
72" long rather than tall.
Would it be possible to order one?
David.

Good Morning furniturman,
I absolutely love it and will
not be brining it back - can’t
wait to get the companion
table. I did decide however,
that I would like a bench that
fits inside the original table
instead of an extra long bench
to extend the length of the
table and its companion. Just
tell me what measurement you
need and I’ll send it to you. I
hope your trip to DC is
everything you hoped. Take care
and let me know when you’ll be
back in town to discuss the
bench and companion table.
Cheers,
Rebeka

The Farm Table

A short (children's?) story

Jodana

The Furniture Man

A Good Life

The furniture man lived a good life in a small town by the ocean.

It was a simple life.

He made and sold just enough furniture to take care of his needs plus a little extra.

He loved making furniture and he loved spending time with his son, Sammy.

Sammy didn’t live by the ocean, but he came to visit for a weekend every month.

The furniture man made Sammy a new wooden toy with movable parts every time he came to visit and gave it to him wrapped in newspaper.

The toys were sanded down so smoothly that Sammy had to be careful incase they slid out of his hands like slippery fish.

The furniture man had strong, big hands which he used for making tables and lifting Sammy up high in the air.

When the furniture man set Sammy on his shoulders, Sammy felt like he was riding in the tall branches of a swaying tree.

The things the furniture man made were well-crafted and useful.

He made tables and chairs where families could sit and eat and play games.

He made shelves for books and boxes for toys.

He made chests for keepsakes and doilies and doo-dads.

It took quite a lot of time to make these things by hand, and so the furniture man came to know the people of the town.

They would come over to chat and bring him leftover wood, which he used as often as possible to avoid cutting down a lot of trees.

The old wood they brought came from all sorts of places.

It came from torn apart porches and fences with chipped paint, broken dressers and grandfather clocks, driftwood and even old wooden bell clappers.

The people of the town liked to see how the furniture man transformed all of that done for, trashed wood into beautiful bookshelves and boxes.

They also loved taking walks in the forest by the ocean, so they were glad to recycle.

But the furniture man knew the trees better than any of the townspeople.

All day as he worked, sawdust flew around the shop and the furniture man breathed it in deeply.

All day he shaped the wood and felt it with his hands.

He knew his material well.

He knew that pine was dry and clean, oak dense and strong.

The furniture man lived a good life indeed.

One day, an official looking man from out of town stopped by the shop.

He set his black briefcase on a workbench and looked around disapprovingly.

Then, wrinkling up his officious nose, he set his hands squarely on his hips and said,

“No, no, no. This won’t do at all.”

“Won’t do what?” the furniture man asked. He looked around the shop himself and thought for the first time that it did look a little shabby, especially with the business man standing there in his shiny shoes and diamond cuffs.

“Won’t do anything at all, my dear boy, and that’s just the point. You’ll never get anywhere at this rate. Why, you need to expand, and I’ve got just the thing to bump your business to the stars.”

With that, the business man unlatched both sides of his briefcase and it sprang promptly open.

He reached inside and carefully, oh so carefully, set a tiny toy on the palm of his hand.

It was a miniature furniture making machine.

The man pulled out a handful of toothpicks and fed them to it all at once.

The machine whirred and wheedled for some minutes. Finally, it spit out a tiny little table, just big enough for a family of mice.

When it was finished, a little cloud of sparkling sawdust poofed out from a hole in its side.

The furniture man was impressed. “Well, alright then,” he said, smiling.

He thought of how much time the machine could save him.

He imagined himself soaking up sun on the beach and watching his favorite television program, Woods of the World, while the machine whizzed out tables for him.

“For little money down, I can have one ten feet tall shipped right to your door,” the man said. “You can pay the rest when you start making your fortune,” and he winked like Santa Clause.

The furniture man agreed, and the machine arrived the next day in a large pine crate.

The furniture man placed some ads and soon he had new orders from all over the state. He hummed as he walked to his shop and set his new machine a-whirring.

Then he went home and tried to relax, but his house was no longer quiet.

The phone was ringing off the hook with new orders.

He hired an assistant to answer the phone so he could get some peace.

But there were problems.

Soon there was not enough old wood around for all of his new orders, so he began to chop down the pines around his house.

He wanted to make furniture, not spend all day chopping down trees, so he hired a woodcutter, who also fed the machine.

He wanted to make furniture, not spend his days delivering tables to people all over the state, so he hired a delivery driver.

His business kept expanding like the business man promised, there was no stopping it!

It had taken on a life of its own.

Sammy came to visit, but the furniture man hadn’t even been in his shop lately, so he didn’t have a new toy for him.

Sammy was disappointed, but he wanted to see the machine, so the furniture man took him by the hand and together they walked down to the shop.

Sammy watched the machine whir and wheedle and he laughed when it poofed its cloud of sawdust. “Cool,” he said.

Standing there watching in the machine, the furniture man realized that he had been so busy hiring and figuring out wages and how many tables he needed to sell, that he had missed the last couple episodes of Woods of the World.

He hadn’t touched cedar or oak or pine all month.

When some of his neighbors came by, he had told them to come back later, he was too busy to chat.

The tables he sold were not special or one of a kind any more because machines are made to be consistent, so all the tables the machine made looked exactly the same every time.

That meant that he had to lower his prices and make even more tables to keep up with the bills.

He had cut all the trees on his land, so he had all his wood shipped in from lumber companies.

The furniture man sighed. Even though he had money and success, he was very unhappy.

“Come on, let’s get out of here,” he said to Sammy, and they went to the beach to play.

When they got back, the furniture man called the business man and told him that he didn’t want the good life anymore. He wanted a good life.

But the business man refused to take the machine back, since it had been used.

So the furniture man went down to his shop and set the machine a-whirring for the last time.

He programmed it to make ten tables with chairs, and when it was done he set the tables in his yard and called all of his neighbors over for a potluck.

Everyone came. They talked and ate and had a grand old time.

After everyone was done eating, the furniture man helped Sammy and the other neighborhood children turn the tables over.

They stacked them and secured them and soon they had a jungle gym.

They jumped and swung and yelled and it was the best noise the furniture man had heard all month.

He told the children they were welcome to come and play on it any day.

In the dark of the shop, though no one was there to hear, the machine gave a final whiz-gig pop and sigh of leftover sawdust as it settled into a shop ornament.

The furniture man went back to making furniture and toys by hand and this made the townspeople very happy.

The squirrels which had lived in the pines around his house liked to bury acorns, but they always forgot where they hid them. So the acorns, which really are oak seeds, began to grow in place of the pines he had cut down.

Baby oak trees were coming up all around the furniture man’s place, a beautiful sight to see.

This made the furniture man think that it was, in fact, a very good life.

the furniture man

Let the wealthy and so called great,Roll in splendor and State

I Envy them not I declare it I Eat my own lamb my own chicken not ham I shear my own fleece and I ware it I have lambs I have Lumber I have fruits I have flowers I mill my own wood and i use it The lark is my morning alarm so stay A jolly so and so now here's god speed the plough Long life and success to the furniture man.

Handcrafted from Solid, Reclaimed Wood

2007-05-17T20:24:00.000-07:00

The Green movement is a political movement which advocates goals common to Green parties, including environmentalism, sustainability, nonviolence, and social justice concerns. Supporters of the Green movement, called Greens, adhere to Green ideology and share many ideas with the ecology, conservation, environmental, feminist, and peace movements.

The political term Green, as an adjective, was first applied to supporters of the nascent Green ideology in the late 1970s, as the first local Green parties were founded in various countries. The term political ecology is sometimes used in Europe and in academic circles.

[hide]

[edit] History

In March of 1972 the world's first green party, the United Tasmania Group, was formed at a public meeting in Hobart, Australia. At about that same time, in Atlantic Canada, 'the Small party' was formed with similar goals^{[citation needed]}. In May 1972, a meeting at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, launched the Values Party, the world's first countrywide green party to contest Parliamentary seats nationally.^[1] A year later in 1973, Europe's first green party, the UK's Ecology Party, came into existence.

The first successful Green party was the German Greens, who contended in their first national election in 1980. The German Greens drew support for their opposition to nuclear power, pollution, and the actions of NATO. In the 1983 federal election, the Greens won 27 seats in the Bundestag. It was this party that first coined the term "Green" ("Grün" in German) and adopted the sunflower symbol. Most importantly, the German Greens adopted the Four Pillars of the Green Party, a statement of the principles of Green politics which has been repeated by Green parties worldwide.

In Finland, in 1995, the Green League became the first European Green party to form part of a state-level Cabinet. The German Greens followed, forming a government with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (the "Red-Green Alliance") from 1998 to 2005. In 2001, they reached an agreement to end reliance on nuclear power in Germany, and agreed to remain in coalition and support the German government of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder in the 2001 Afghan War. This put them at odds with many Greens worldwide but demonstrated also that they were capable of difficult political tradeoffs.

[edit] Local movements

Green ideology emphasizes participatory democracy and the principle of "thinking globally, acting locally." As such, the ideal Green Party is thought to grow from the bottom up, from neighborhood to municipal to (eco-)regional to national levels. The goal is rule by a consensus decision making process. Strong local coalitions are considered a pre-requisite to higher-level electoral breakthroughs. Historically, Green growth has been sparked by a single issue where Greens can bridge the gap to ordinary citizens' concerns. In Germany, for example, the Greens' early opposition to nuclear power won them their first successes in the federal elections.

The basis of unity for the Green movement is adherence to common principles, namely the Four Pillars of the Green Party and the six principles of the Global Greens Charter. Greens' views on other issues may span the left-right political spectrum, ranging from Natural Capitalism to the Gaian Greens with much in between. Many Greens claim that the concepts of "left" and "right" do not apply to them or their views.

[edit] Global organization

There is a growing level of global cooperation between Green parties. Global gatherings of Green Parties now happen. The first Planetary Meeting of Greens was held May 30th-31st, in Rio de Janeiro, immediately preceding the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held there. More than 200 Greens from 28 nations attended. The first formal Global Greens Gathering took place in Canberra, in 2001, with more than 800 Greens from 72 countries in attendance. The next Global Green Gathering will be held in Nairobi, Kenya in 2008

Global Green networking dates back to 1990. Following the Planetary Meeting of Greens in Rio de Janeiro, a Global Green Steering Committee was created, consisting of two seats for each continent. In 1993 this Global Steering Committee met in Mexico City and authorized the creation of a Global Green Network including a Global Green Calendar, Global Green Bulletin, and Global Green Directory. The Directory was issued in several editions in the next years. In 1996, 69 Green Parties from around the world signed a common declaration opposing French nuclear testing in the South Pacific, the first statement of global greens on a current issue. A second statement was issued in December 1997, concerning the Kyoto climate change treaty.^[2]

At the 2001 Canberra Global Gathering delegates for Green Parties from 72 countries decided upon a Global Greens Charter which proposes six key principles. Over time, each Green Party can discuss this and organize itself to approve it, some by using it in the local press, some by translating it for their web site, some by incorporating it into their manifesto, some by incorporating it into their constitution.^[3] This process is taking place gradually, with online dialogue enabling parties to say where they are up to with this process.^[4]

The Gatherings also agree on organizational matters. The first Gathering voted unanimously to set up the Global Green Network (GGN). The GGN is composed of three representatives from each Green Party. A companion organization was set up by the same resolution: Global Green Coordination (GGC). This is composed of three representatives from each Federation (Africa, Europe, The Americas, Asia/Pacific, see below). Discussion of the planned organization took place in several Green Parties prior to the Canberra meeting.^[5] The GGC communicates chiefly by email. Any agreement by it has to be by unanimity of its members. It may identify possible global campaigns to propose to Green Parties world wide. The GGC may endorse statements by individual Green Parties. For example, it endorsed a statement by the US Green Party on the Israel-Palestine conflict.^[6]

Thirdly, Global Green Gatherings are an opportunity for informal networking, from which joint campaigning may arise. For example, a campaign to protect the New Caledonian coral reef, by getting it nominated for World Heritage Status: a joint campaign by the New Caledonia Green Party, New Caldonian indigenous leaders, the French Green Party, and the Australian Greens.^[7] Another example concerns Ingrid Betancourt, the leader of the Green Party in Colombia, the Green Oxygen Party (Partido Verde Oxigeno). Ingrid Betancourt and the party's Campaign Manager, Claire Rojas, were kidnapped by a hard-line faction of FARC on 7 March 2002, while travelling in FARC-controlled territory. Betancourt had spoken at the Canberra Gathering, making many friends. As a result, Green Parties all over the world have organized, pressing their governments to bring pressure to bear. For example, Green Parties in African countries, Austria, Canada, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, France, Scotland, Sweden and other countries have launched campaigns calling for Betancourt's release. Bob Brown, the leader of the Australian Greens, went to Colombia, as did an envoy from the European Federation, Alain Lipietz, who issued a report.^[8]The four Federations of Green Parties issued a message to FARC.^[9] Ingrid Betancourt and Claire Rojas are still prisoners, facing death. However, the efforts of the Green Parties shows their potential to unite and campaign jointly.^[10]

[edit] Global Green meetings

Separately from the Global Green Gatherings, Global Green Meetings take place. For instance, one took place on the fringe of the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesberg. Green Parties attended from Australia, Taiwan, Korea, South Africa, Mauritius, Uganda, Cameroon, Republic of Cyprus, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, the USA, Mexico and Chile. The Global Green Meeting discussed the situation of Green Parties on the African continent; heard a report from Mike Feinstein, former Mayor of Santa Monica, about setting up a web site of the GGN; discussed procedures for the better working of the GGC; and decided two topics on which the Global Greens could issue statements in the near future: Iraq and the 2003 WTO meeting in Cancun.

[edit] Global Greens web site

The GGC was responsible for creating a Global Greens web site. This web site represents the efforts of the GGC to deepen communication between Green Parties, and to facilitate action on matters of global consequence.

[edit] Green federations

The member parties of the Global Greens (see for details) are organised into four continental federations [11].

The European Federation of Green Parties formed itself as the European Green Party on 22 February 2004, in the run-up to European Parliament elections in June, 2004, a further step in trans-national integration.

[edit] Critique of Green networking

The disadvantage of global organizing and of the Global Greens Charter is that to impose things from the center does not sit well with the Green way. The Green spirit is about decentralization, localization, and "power to the people". This is more of a valid criticism of the Green Charter than it is of the GGC — since unanimity is always required — or of the GGN, which is limited to coordinating campaigns and campaigning jointly, or of the Global Green Gatherings, since they are merely an opportunity to talk together.

However, in the case of the Charter, it does consist of generalizations, when circumstances are unique. To impose generalizations is seen by many Greens as the root of authoritarianism. However, many Greens accepted a degree of centralisation as part of a process of realpolitik.

[edit] Currents

A small sample of the factions or tendencies that exist on the movement's fringe — some only in very small numbers:

Gaian Greens are radical Greens who consider the entire ecosystem to be essentially one body, and who therefore believe that preserving the Earth's ecosystem is the highest possible moral end.

Deep Greens follow the ascetic ethics of Spinoza, Mohandas Gandhi, and indigenous peoples. They are usually rural people who prefer wild to "tamed" living.^{[citation needed]} Cf. also the ideology of deep ecology.

Wild Greens are a youth movement of New Zealand Green Party, committed to direct action and taking bodily risks to protect nature.

Viridian Greens are a more artistic movement in the U.S., originated by science fiction writer Bruce Sterling, and have fewer objections to media or technology.

Eco-Anarchists (Eco-anarchism, Green anarchism) can also be thought of as greens (but not generally Greens).
