Green on Red: Cuba and the Green Revolution
One could quibble with the selective misquoting of Amnesty and the usual 1-week tourist misperception stuff here but the fault may lie as much with the Irish Times' historical editorial antagonism towards Cuba as with the brevity of the writers visit, but the overall message communicates much about the Revolution and its deeply engrained green credentials. Cuba is not the only country on the planet developing sustainably by accident, or even because of the isolation imposed by the US blockade - Cuba is green because it is revolutionary to be green. Sooner or later the rest of us will wake up and smell the organic coffee.
