Why not go green?????

Question

why don't people go green if it saves you money and helps the enviroment. It's not like we're asking to much jus little stuff, like using the light bulbs that are cheaper and conserve more energy than regular ones. Or just turning off the light when you don't need it on. Or using less paper towels and paper plates. And i really don't get why people just don't get a hard water bottle that they can refill instead of spending tons more money every year on one use plastic ones.

Answer 1

Because green isn't about clean environment or about conservation.

Green is about getting green fascists into power. The green political agenda is about keeping people ignorant and freezing in the dark.

It isn't about penny ante stuff like paper plates. Green is about carbon taxes that will throw the entire economy askew because it shifts the tax burden onto those who use the fuel such as farmers manufacturers and transportation. That will mean we get reduced taxes but pay twice as much for everything else.

It isnt about using cheaper light bulbs. Green is about preventing the construction of windmill farms, micro run-of-river hydro projects, natural gas fired generation, coal fired generation, nuclear powered genereation and hydroelectric generation. They want us to have brownouts to encourage less usage.

Greens don't want to recognize that you and I are part of the ecology and just as beavers build dams we build civilizations.

Green is nothing but a cluster of contradictions.

Answer 2

laziness. we've created an instant gratification type of society. we have come out of the great depression and are now in the mode like "if we have it, lets use it and maybe even waste it" it wasn't yesterday we came out of it but i do think it has something to do with it and it spun out of control. now the education levels are going down and more and more ppl are less and less educated about the realness of the worlds and OUR problems. ppl fear change and who fears change more than ppl? uneducated ppl. so it's not easy either way. who knows why. it's one of those things where you just have to spread the word. one is better than none and if each person tells one more person eventually it's 10 and then 50 and then 100 and then 1,000......

Answer 3

Maybe because their habit or they have learned to waste and spend money for nothing. They don't care if they spend too much or not. What happens is that they don't know that all of us are affected of what they are doing. I really don't know if they have thought that living in green can save their money plus they can save our environment. I think we should teach the children to save the environment so that they can contribute in cleaning mother earth.

Answer 4

Some ppl dont like to change, they are stuck in their ways. Also they dont believe in climate change or global warming so if it dosent exist to them then why change?

I think it is sad tho, every little bit helps - different lightbulbs shorter showers etc.

Answer 5

i agree.

people are just lazy.

they will regret it later on.

Answer 6

I don't get it either.

I have made a conscious decision since it got hot (I live in Florida) to turn the thermostat up, close the blinds in the heat of the day, use the green light bulbs. and water only when the ground is really dry and my electric bill was $50 less than normal last month (yay!).

It's really not hard to do, it just takes some thought.
