Greenability
March 29th, 2008
Are green business practices sustainable? Will the “green revolution” that is underway persist or is it just another fad. Major retailers have all already jumped on the band wagon, will our government be next? Consumers can purchase everything from sharpies made with eco-friendly dye free ink to shoes made from recycled rubber products. Unfortunately the “green revolution” comes at a premium price to consumers. At times I wonder if the green revolution has become just another form of class distinction? These are the thoughts that saturate my brain like a worm in tequila, perhaps its the tequila I lack that forces these questions to rise like a limp dick on Viagra?
Organic foods, organic clothing, and re-manufactured bio-degradable components all seem to me to reek with the stench of elitism. True, their have always been elitists, even a liberal elite. But our generation seems fundamentally different than those of past generations. Armed solely with credit cards and lacking any hard funds our generations seems to feel rather comfortable in debt and perfectly OK with dropping one hundred dollars on a used handbag made from recycled Capri Sun’s yet totally uncomfortable placing that same money in a savings account. What gives?
How To Make Green Toothpaste

Going green should not be a decision that coincides with buying more. Think of those 3 keywords they drilled into your head in elementary school reduce, reuse, recycle. The last time I checked reduce meant using less, not consuming more. With that said why not use some of the products you have lying around the house to make something useful like toothpaste? Besides isn’t it time you brush your teeth?
Green and Clean

Spring. Ya know its that time of year when flowers start to produce pollen that irritates your allergies, those darn ducks that poop all over the place return from Florida, and your complexion resembles that of the guy in Powder due to your lack of sun this winter. Well, at least the girls finally start to reveal some skin eh?
