What can green do for you?

Issue date: 4/9/09 Section: Opinion
This is just one example of marketing campaigns that have/are happening to help us all go green. There are many other campaigns out there that are trying to help us all feel good; about these companies, these politicians and what they do. The truth is that it's all just another way to make money. These people are eager to create an emerging market while making you believe that they are saving polar bears and rainforests. But are they really? I don't know about you but .74° C in the last 400 years is just really makin' me sweat, and when will this snow ever stop falling?
The green movement is all a ploy to get the government more control, more companies more money, and for all of us to feel good about them doing it. We all know that pollution is wrong and that it is happening; and a lot of us are serious about wanting to help the planet, and want to make a difference, some of us just want to save some money. But producing new green colored clothes, throwing concerts, and making movies are not the way to do it. Stop selling us stuff and try creating something useful instead.
