go green.

It seems to me that some people are confused about going green.  I understand everyone is really getting into it, which is great because I love how so much attention is being drawn to this concept in hopes that people will become less wasteful and the earth will become more beautiful.  Perhaps some of our problems dealing with excessive garbage

it's like how this one time i wanted to get this book about consumerism.

[puma4040]

ohh yeah. and that one shirt at american eagle that said "consume less."

You have to be careful with Nalgene bottles, there was a recent recall on them because they are carrying cancer causing chemicals in certain versions.

just sayin.

Isn't everything carrying cancer causing chemicals? anywho, i don't think it is worse than our disposable bottles. (also, did you ever think about what cell phones are doing to our brains? ack. so disturbing)

just sayin.

i never got the whole water bottle thing myself...there are drinking fountains in almost every place where you can buy food (cafeterias, food courts, etc.) plus, you can just ask for a glass of waster instead of a bottle. It's not only more helpful to the enviroment, but it's CHEAPER! People complain about the price of gas all the time; well the price of bottled water is EVEN MORE THAN THE PRICE OF GAS! And you can get cleaner water cheaper out of your faucet (as you mentioned). I just never saw many benefits.

Yeah. Why pay for something you could get for free? Next we will be paying for air. Oh wait..they already sell bottled air.

Although I agree with your general argument, I think that the "green" movement, in most cases, actually contributes to consumerism. Most "green" products are more expensive, such as the recycled toothbrush I was going to purchase for you, which ties into global warming skepticism and the recycling argument of which many believe the monetary cost of recycling outweighs the environmental benefits (although I am a pretty avid recycler.) As far as An Incovenient Truth, the books, and the American Eagle shirt you mentioned before, I think that most "green" products, in relation to thier corporate distributors, are more propelled toward monetary "green" as opposed to environmental "green."
PS- When do you get out of school?

[puma4040]

Hmmm..isn't that what I said (sort of)? I do, however, view the environment as way more important than money. Also, I end school never (i.e. June 11-ish). You?
