Hmm, are we seeing the irony there?<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of being good stewards of our resources, and I agree that we need to make those choices thoughtfulyl and not because of marketing campaigns or trendiness. Like food storage - we're told we need to do it, we need to make it a priority, but we also need to be wise about it and not go into debt to acquire it. Small steps in the right direction are better than wild leaps that aren't well thought out, right? :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371671630524713784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-29384941291967785722008-04-29T14:03:00.000-06:002008-04-29T14:03:00.000-06:00Very enjoyable post.

You'd think that there should be a way to make things that are better for the environment be priced better (ie your light bulb example). Of course, they're supposed to last longer and overall save money, but money is a big deal now. Also seems like small cities should make a move on recycling and stuff before it becomes a problem, instead of waiting until it's a problem.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337786952098547265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-21813574843442530492008-04-29T00:37:00.000-06:002008-04-29T00:37:00.000-06:00Awesome post!

I feel like certain people (Al Gore) have used the whole global warming thing soley for financial gain, and a large part of their success is attributed to instilling fear in people. I don't buy into a lot of what and how the media portrays and defines going green. It seems like such a fad, but you're right. The heart of the idea is good.MariePhotographiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210295465383564701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-53595730420786924562008-04-28T15:10:00.000-06:002008-04-28T15:10:00.000-06:00I agree with you but I do buy a lot of the cleanin...I agree with you but I do buy a lot of the cleaning products that are "green" because the chemicals(or lack of) are less harsh or they are totally natural, that I like for my childrens sake. I also think recycling is great and the "use less waste less" idea but that comes down to me saving more money, I like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-55934665937936529042008-04-28T13:22:00.000-06:002008-04-28T13:22:00.000-06:00Rae-We need to exchange emails.

Anyway, basically, he just debunked the whole global warming thing.<BR/><BR/>I do think parts of the movement are good. Like to save money on energy and to not be so excessive. But mostly I think it's a huge commercialized money making crock. :) Maybe I'm eighty years old too.Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-59999901015562989862008-04-28T09:42:00.000-06:002008-04-28T09:42:00.000-06:00I loved this post, because I feel the same way!

I am with you - I want to do my part, but slowly make the transition and not stress myself over it. Loved this post!Pam from Over the Big Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108418473313341900noreply@blogger.com
