[Greenbuilding] change agent, was radiant boiler

[David Seth Melchert]

Kirsten, you do not sound wimpy, just practical.
Drew you do not sound blunt, just idealistic. In my mind, fire the 
client and you become irrelevant.

I almost laughed at Drew's comments, but it makes me wonder, on this 
list, how many here bend their ideals to fit each particular client and 
project, and how many follow a more strict "my way or the highway"? It 
seems that our economic system is intrinsically unsustainable, so in 
general the more fully green we go, the harder we have to push against 
the grain. Yet are there some who are able to function as a business and 
live their green ideals without compromise? You might have wisdom to 
share with those of us who do not.
