Question

Is this whole "Go Green" just another stupid liberal fad?

Answer 1

Have you ever noticed how many people like to jump on the bandwagon of anything that will make them feel superior and that they believe it gives them the right to judge everyone else who does not believe? It's a "GO Green" religion and everyone should get on board! Even the large corporations have jumped in to sell you their newest Go Green icons. "Come forward and ye shall be blessed with all things green!". "Those who do not, shall be damned!".

Answer 2

Take a look for yourself instead of relying on a report of such matters.

Answer 3

I believe you've stumbled on the truth my friend.

The Government is pretty inept in most circumstances but they seem to have an uncanny knack for pulling the old flim-flam.

That is, diverting the public's attention way over here with some concocted crisis or another so we won't somehow see what they are really up to.

Oh sure, ban incandescent lights and poison the lot with mercury from broken CFL's.  Brilliant!

Answer 4

No and thumbs up to Andrew C for his dry wit.

Answer 5

yup yup yup

Answer 6

Yes.

The problem with Liberals is they make decisions based on headlines and emotions. They seldom read the whole article, which in most cases is biased anyway. So if they are not going to read the whole article, they are certainly not going to "read up" on what was left out of it.

In many instances, going green actually is more destructive than going...I don't know...red?

For example, the EPA has botlled up the "emissions" allowance for vehicles so much that they use considerably more fuel than they should.  In the 80's, we had a v-8 station wagon that got over 25 miles per gallon. Now, with all the high-tech extra parts on motors, if you get 30mpg with a 4cyl, it's supposed to be a big deal. The older motors used gasoline more efficiently, but they had more smog so the EPA put so many restrictions on them.

The current retarded use of corn for fuel is another hoax, perpetuated by well-meaning, factually uninformed liberals.

It takes an amount of corn that would last a famly for a month, were they to eat it, to produce enough ethanol to fill a single gas tank.

This has driven up the price of everything. The price of feed for animals has gone up, so the price of meat has gone up, and there are people killing each other over food shortages now in other countries.

And think about all of the forests being cleared for corn production now.

So there is a reason why we've been using gasoline for the last 100 years. It is more cost efficient, even if it were $7 a gallon, it would still be cheaper than any other fuel.

Another green example, the flourecent lightbulb. They keep pushing it, and actually signed into law the ban on "regular" bulbs in 2012.

Flouros are a million times more toxic if you break one, they create more toxins during manufacture, they create waste cuz your old dimmer switches have to be thrown out.

They are trying to re-live woodstock, and they'd be happy if everyone drove around on bicycles wearing sandals and tie-dyed shirts.

Answer 7

Of course. JUST Another way of tryin to control US THE PEOPLE

Answer 8

Due to the number of legitimate studies and the effort put into 'doctoring' studies to go the other way I would say 'NO'.

Do you really believe that our chemistry, biology, and environment are really NOT impacted by what we do to the planet daily? Do you believe the species loss is just evolution and then deny evolution?

Or are you 'home-schooled'?

Actually, people would be better off trying to re-live woodstock, and be happy if everyone drove around on bicycles wearing sandals and tie-dyed shirts. And get the stick out.

Of course eating fish from our lakes and rivers has become an excellent way to ensure we are getting our polycarbonates and minerals - mercury, etc. If we are not smart enough to eat elsewhere.

One study even suggests that ingestion of enough pesticides can cause phobias and neurotic illness leading people to the belief that they are being manipulated or controlled by the government, Zod, or even aliens. All with the intent of getting them to be good stewards of the planet and all that we as people survey.

Answer 9

No it is not a fad at all!

Have you looked at the world at all lately?  Just look up and down your street.  Does it have garbage everywhere.  On a windy day, do you see plastic bags flowing in the wind?  Have you not seen the ice break in Antartica?

Our world is slowly changing.  Yes it is a natural process but we are speeding up the process.  We need to keep the Earth clean.  

Air pollution comes from us using too much energy and we use cheap power plants so we are polluting the air.  Which, in fact, is bad for us.  So we are killing ourselves by breathing in toxic air and getting hit by acid rain.  

Also have you noticed that in today's day and age, we have having more infants coming in with more problems, deformaty, and all that bad stuff.

Trust me, Going Green would save us all.  It will help out the environment.  Just think of your favorite vacation spot and seeing it ruined by garbage, smog, and toxics everywhere.  Would you want to be there?

Going Green will also save you money.  Because using less energy is good for us and you don't have to pay that much on your bills.

It is mostly a win/win for EVERYONE and EVERYTHING.

Answer 11

Why don't you just come right out and say "Commie"?  That's what you really mean.  Not defecating where we eat is part of the worldwide communist conspiracy.  Let's hear you say it!

Answer 12

Absolutely, just like all those other fads, clean water, healthy food, breathable air, and the most ridiculous one, keeping all of those coastal urban areas above sea level, I mean really, were supposed to care about such things. I've got better things to worry about. The big game is on, and they are rebroadcasting season 1 of American idol. How great is that!
