Those of us who have been “green” for some time are feeling mixed emotions. On one hand, we’re glad more people are starting to “get it.” On the other hand we’re a little resentful. We’ve fought so long off in the boonies by ourselves, labeled as tree huggers, radicals, eco-nut jobs, etc.; we have come to think of ourselves as martyrs for the cause. I for one am glad that more people are joining in the effort to save our environment. Sure, not everyone will be as committed to the cause as …let’s say some of us are, but the fact that they are doing something, for me is a step in the right direction. As consumers become more aware of their environment and how we can all incorporate green living into our lives, changes will occur.
Now what I’d like to see are more businesses and corporations designing products that are truly sustainable, “Cradle to Cradle” products.
To all of you who have worked so hard in the past ….thank you! To those of you just getting started…come on in the waters fine!

Great first up question. I think green is going through and heading to so much of what happened with organic. At the grassroots it was a great thing. Once it got into being officially defined by the government, they shot so many holes into what it meant to be organic that you can now do things most of the original organic folk find disgusting.

Fantastic idea!! For too long I have thought that most things just slap “Green” on their label because it is the new buzzword and people will eat it up!
Is there a video of this even online somewhere I can check it out? Obviously I missed the event as I am just reading about it on May 14th! haha

The best green product is Water and the worst contributors to green house gases and global warming are toilet tissues. Once we (esp. Westerners) replace toilet tissues with Water, much of the demand for wood and thus deforestation will automatically go away, contributing to the saving of remaining forests on the planet.

Great idea. While I firmly believe in a top-down approach to solve the big problems, we need bottom-up demand for green mainstream solutions to modern-day living. Green should no longer be a choice in life. It should be only option.

The best green product is the one never consumed.

The secondary industry of so-called “green products” is just more of the same – the pathology of aggregate desire.
