Are conservatives hopping on the band wagon of the green movement?

Question

Historically I know global warming (and cooling) is inevitable through time. I always have been for protecting and preserving our home (Earth). I drive a economical car and conserve in other aspects of my life. BUT I think everyone is 'going green' because it is the cool thing to do right now? Will it fade? I just saw a comercial that said liberals and conservatives are joining forces. I live in Denver. Is this just a Colorado where it is 'in style' to be green or is it everywhere. I know there is a lot of questions here, but I appreciate your input.

fyi: I think going green is a like Valentines Day, just a over comercialized movement to make money.

Answer 1

Too little to late.  Let the Democrats in-- the ones who aren't bribed and blackmailed.

At least they didn't put us in this fix.  The Conservatives did.

Answer 2

Conservatives never left the band wagon!

I hope it doesn't fade!

No matter if you are a liberal or a conservative.........................

We must all do our part!

It is definitely commercialized.............................

And I hope the ones that are participating have the right

motivations!!!

Answer 3

Despite the propaganda and lies, conservatives and Republicans have never been against conserving resources or protecting the environment. We just believe that in doing so, we should not violate property rights or individual rights, nor should we abandon sound resource management principles or ignore the economic costs in doing so.

Going "green" can also be profitable in some sectors of the economy.

Answer 4

Not connected to one party or the other. It's a personal decision people need to make on their own.

Answer 5

i think pollution and wiping out trees is killing the planet

Answer 6

nope, not me. you either or you wouldnt be wasting electricy for your computer

Answer 7

Going green actually is both a liberal and conservative idea in one - IF - it also means that we can stop depending on foreign energy to fuel ourselves.

Self defense can only be achieved through self reliance, and as such, we have a common goal.
