The new web site, www.sustainableokc.org,  is a very good start of what
could eventually become a great, ever-expanding resource.  I have one 
question though....   In the main heading, it states:  "Think Smart".
In 
this case, smart is used as an adverb, so shouldn't the correct form be
"Think Smartly"?  You could say, "That is smart thinking." in which case
smart is used as an adjective.  However, I can see how "think smart" has
kind of a mover/shaker effect--boom, boom, two syllables---that "think
smartly" doesn't convey.  But then I never got used to Clinton talking
about how he was going to "grow jobs"  like they were some sort of
natural living resource like broccoli or cauliflower.  Am I being too
picky?

I also don't like it when politicians talk about how our children are
"our greatest natural resources," as if they are merely so much raw ore
or petroleum to be mined and distilled into salable commodities.  Human
beings have existential value far beyond any sort of material value or
marketing strategy that materialists may try to ascribe to them.  But I
am going far off on a tangent....
