I have noticed that most of the people that are concerned about the 'green' movement and are pushing people towards fuel efficient cars and and buying expensive organic foods are the ultra rich. I get the feeling that these people have so much money and time that they have to find something to worry about. Then, they want to make it my problem. I am sorry, but I have enough problems without feeling like it is my job to save the world, too! I want some of these celebrities to call me when they lose their millions and actually have to grocery shop on a budget of $200 and tell me how many $10 lightbulbs they can afford and whether they are going to buy eggos for $2 a box to feed their kids, or if they are still going to buy organic produce. Now politicians are talking about raising taxes on natural gas, coal and oil to promote Greener lifestyles...that will go over well. If only I could aford to put in a more efficient hot water heater...oh, wait. I live in an apartment. What exactly would you like me to do to make my home Greener? I guess I could go around and unplug all my appliances..sigh. I think that our world will greatly benefit from recycling and trying to create less waste, but when being Green becomes more cost effective, I will be able to participate more. Now please quit preaching to me!
Hollywood goes green...
