I'm all for changing things...if i wasn't i wouldn't be on here.
Who was it said that "real change cannot be imposed from without, it has to come from within"

Perhaps the only way forward is to subvert the system and make the green areas valuable - then the capitalist system will have to value them - and doing that turns on public perception - remember the CFCs campaign, no one thought that big companies could be forced into cfc free products but it was done, and it happened by consumer power - can we do thesame for the greenspace ?
