My View On Green

Published On: September 2, 2008

I feel as though I have missed something or is it that we get so over run with advertising that we miss some of the messages. I know that in this case I have missed the message. I thought that this GREEN THING is just another way for retailers to market their wares.

I was listening to a speaker at a seminar tell about how this GREEN THING is in its infancy and that it is not going away. It will be another revolution and we are at the same stage as when the first Apple computer was built. When I heard that it woke me up. When I look at it from that vantage point I have a changed perception as to what this really means and that we have hope of getting off oil. Just a few years ago that would have been unconceivable. Good Job America!

I talked with quite a few people this past weekend and they all had the same opinion as I, that this is just a fad. After just a few minutes of discussion they were easily persauded that this GREEN THING could be long term and A new paradigm. I was not even trying to sell it.

I know that at our house we do a lot of things right and I am thinking that is why I was not a beleiver, I am a GREENY. We have hardly any trash, the recycle bin is full every week, we wash in cold, we drive little and walk a lot, we have not bought papertowels for years, We raise organic veges, we raise our own chickens, we do not air condition(we use the night air). OMG I'm a GREENY
