Awesome! On top of proving that popular protest is not just the stuff of developing countries, they're providing an on-screen model for sustainable energy. Lets hope the media picks up on this (yes, that is very optimistic I know).

So I'm a little confused. The description makes it sound like there was no intention to be green and the only reason they became green was because the police took away the generators.

The video however seems to imply that it was their idea to be green from the start.

Smelling something fishy here.

I agree the generators being taken was more a catalyst that gave the idea traction, rather than the event which sparked the idea.

Sorry if my description/title gave the wrong impression, that was not my intention.


Edit to clarify: Although it was Times Up!'s intention to be green from the start it's likely the OWS movement as a whole wasn't motivated to adopt the idea until the generators were taken. The video was made by Times Up!, and showed their perspective.

I found the video through this article: http://gothamist.com/2011/10/29/video_occupy_wall_street_will_soon.php
