Is the latest "Green" push permanent or is it just the latest "hip" thing to do? What's changed in the American psyche that's caused this shift towards saving the planet? Or has big business realized that there's money to be made? Is Al Gore behind all of this? My employer has also jumped on the green bandwagon by handing out light bulbs - 5 mini-spiral CFL's to every employee. Pretty impressive.
I went to college at the Univ of Michigan and had a lot of friends that attended the school's College of Natural Resources. Recycling, composting and other enviro-friendly actions were always big on campus (and this was 1990 to 1994). And in college we kids also realized that you could make money by collecting and returning recyclable bottles and cans in Michigan. Most of those bottles/cans previously contained beverages of the alcoholic variety - but hey we were doing our part to recycle, right?
Still I wonder what's behind the latest push. Yes I'm glad it's happening but I'm curious to know where it's all coming from. Like the latest in the auto world, Full-size Hybrid SUV's - that's funny to even say. But it uses less gas than a regular SUV, so that's good. But why do we need vehicles of that size anyway? Yet on the other side of that coin you have the sports/performance cars who get the same if not worse gas mileage numbers as the large SUV's. I'm a sports car junky so I'm guilty of that one. My little Civic SI Coupe uses premium fuel and I drive it like it's stolen every time I get behind the wheel.
I bought my 2nd Ionic Breeze from Sharper Image about a month ago. Even it has an ozoneguard on it. I removed it the other day to clean it and just from looking at it I really don't understand how the ozoneguard works. I know the Ionic Breeze itself works. I don't have as many allergy problems as I used to. And with an 80lb dog in my condo it doesn't smell like man's best friend either.
Every little bit helps. So I'm glad to see that we're all going green in one way or another. Do your part to keep things green.
