Writer's Block: Greenery
Today in 1971, Greenpeace was founded. How are you helping to keep your section of Earth green these days?
anything i do that can be construed as being "green" is not done to be intentionally so. unlike many of the people i see, if i recycle something etc... i do it because it's the sensible thing to do--not because i need to validate myself with a pat on the back and an example of how i'm better than those that don't.
this fad with saving the earth should've happened decades ago and i would not be surprised if the obsession eventually dies off like fads usually do. people only seem to be interested because they can save money during a floundering economic period and validation that they're not a terrible person. if people truly cared, they would've been conserving energy and recycling and all that jazz without the expectation of a reward--they would've done it for the sake of it being the right thing to do.
