Is it just me...?

Question

Or is anyone else tired of hearing about "going green" and saving the planet? I love the earth and I am thankful for it, but this is one case where everyone is just jumpin' on the bandwagon.

Answer 1

yes your right I hate the slogans and that is all they are to make people think they are doing something good while in reality they are getting riped off by people making a profit on the gullibility of silly people. Like the organic craze of late people think that everything is monitored? yes to a point in the fields maybe but in the stores??? I know for a fact that in the ware house where I work we supply 2 ORGANIC shops with regular produce!! All they do is take it out of the packing and put a organic sticker on it and of course double the price...So yes I am so tired of hearing about going green and stuff but in reality nothing is relay being done.

Answer 2

I think the real problem is the people who hype up going green but don't do the slightest thing to help the environment.  that is why the whole green movement seems over-hyped sometimes

Answer 3

I think to a lot of people it is just a fad, they do it because its 'in'. If you really get educated about it though, you'll realize its a good thing to do. You don't have to be flashy about it, but there are a few minor life changes that can make a huge difference.

Answer 4

Well, maybe you are sick of it but there's a world of people out there who LIKE jumpin' on the old bandwagon!!

Answer 5

We are a nation of consumers, so what ever the latest trend is you will see marketing. Many companies are participating in what is called Green washing, marketing a non earth friendly product as Green.

I'm glad that going green has come into pop culture. Even if the reason people start thinking about it is because of marketing, it does begin an awareness of how what we do and buy effects the earth.

I talk alot about what I'm doing to reduce my energy consumption and my pollution. It now has a term, reducing your carbon foot print. I don't know if Global Warming or Climate Change are real, if it is man made or if we can reduce or reverse the effects. I do know we use our resources at an unsustainable rate and many of them are finite with a shrinking supply and that we are creating an unhealthy environment for ourselves and other creatures with our pollution.

I do what I can and am always improving my efforts.

Answer 6

Yeah, I thinks it just you. We need to replenish the earth. Our environment is a necessity.
