ITA!! I think they're separate ideas as well.
I would LOVE a forum to discuss (for example) straw bale houses, wind/solar power, photovoltaic energy (solar panels), gray water irrigation, homesteading, building for thermal mass, etc., as well as a place to discuss recyclable products for home improvement: countertops, flooring, environmentally friendly paints, etc. which just don't seem to fit under "Simple Living" to me.
And as far as "separating members" goes, I don't feel as though a "Green Living" forum wouldn't be any different than having (say) the Scrapbooking Forum that we do now. I mean, there are some members here that aren't the least bit interested in scrapbooking, yet we have all kinds of forums/threads having to do with that. From a non-interested party's view, that might seem like more of a "separation" to me than having a "Green Living" forum would. Now I'm not knocking the Scrapbooking forums, mind you...and I plan to get into that once DD starts school. I'm just giving an example of how all of us are interested in different things, and the scrapbooking forum was just the first thing I thought of to compare this with as far as the "separation of members" was concerned.
And the only other thing I would change is the Freebie Section. I liked it better the old way, where all you had to do is scroll down one or two pages every few days to scan for the newest posts. The way it is now, you have to visit each and every topic just to see if you missed anything that's been posted. It's just too much work for something that should be easy, so I rarely post or even visit that forum any more.
Just my 2 cents...
