I think it means you recycle and care about the enviornment.
No.
Not necessarily. But if anyone is going to make moolah, I’d rather they did it by pushing “living green” rather than “living anti-green.” Wouldn’t you?
Those who live green are concerned with saving energy, thus reducing our carbon footprint, they’re using organic products to reduce chemical proliferation. They try to conserve water. Alot of them are vegan’s. They also recycle. It can be very expensive and time consuming to live this way.
Living green can be an expensive venture, mostly because the technology, though it’s been around for decades, was just known among “hippies”, so it is still expensive from not being mainstream, until now.
Go to a mag. called “mother earth news”, which has been around for about 35/40 years, the old issues had an article every month about how to build inexpensive/passive (green) structures. LOL, they were called earth ships in Colorado, various names in other places. Often it is expensive, but the pay back is worth it.
U can thank ronald reagan and his secretary of the interior, james watt, for squashing the technology, BTW, then ole ronnie brought the oil millionaires into it, bush Sr., and of course they wanted nothing to do w/ cutting back on oil for electricity/heating … With another oil Billionaire, now in office and his henchman a billionaire oil field equipment/service man for a vice president, it will be a few years before technology brings the prices down.
Unless you’re selling best-selling books or getting paid big bucks to do lectures, green living is probably costing you money; if you’re really smart about it, you might break oven.
…huh?
Yes, absolutly. But is that a bad thing? I don’t think it is. When people don’t do what’s right for the environment just because it’s the right thing, it often takes money to make them change. Ends justifying the means or something like that.
I think it might take a similar approach to make massive changes in the way our countries consume oil. Make it profitable NOT to. simple as that.
I happen to be an idealist to some extent. Living “green” has been important to me my whole life. But when you grow up on a small farm growing your own food organically is not “green” living. It is just financially benificial to do these things!
