Green Satire
I think is this is hilarious, but also pretty sad and unfortunately it sums up how people (myself included), think "green", but continue to shop as if they don't. It's such a tough call sometimes. I'll admit that when it comes to buying pre-packaged organic foods, I sometimes do "feel good" because it's organic and forget about the plastic tubs the sour cream comes in. Yet, I do believe that making these discoveries about myself little by little will help me prioritize and determine what my ultimate choices are...but, in the meantime, I'm just trying to pay attention.
More later folks!
Sad isn't it the way people THINK they are 'saving our planet'? I was really too young to totally understand what my grandfather meant when he would tell me, "Remember never to take any more than you can give back." I would nod my 8-year-old head as though I 'got it', but it wasn't until I was a teen - 4 years after his crossing over - that I truly understood. We can still make a difference. I BELIEVE that. But the truth is, for WAY too long, we've all taken so MUCH more than we gave back.
