Zalman may have germinated some of these concepts in the 70's, which followed the first big stirrings of environmentalism in the late 60's, but ecology was a newly evolving field then, and some of the other terms you mention, like resource-use footprints did not really exist back then.<BR/>There was a strong consciousness about solidarity with workers, however. The Boston Va'ad HaKashrut famously said that green grapes grown by non-union farm workers were not kosher and this had a lot more impact on people's thinking than Zalman, though Zalman may have influenced that decision. That would be the thing to research.<BR/>These were the days of Ceaser Chavez. Hip Jews did not eat green grapes for many years. Now we avoid them because they're not local! It gets more and more complicated, except for hip Jews in California!<BR/>Many just dropped meat altogether, and that obviates the need for dealing with the so-dubbed koshernostra.
