Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

This is great and just what I needed today. Work was frustrating me so I took a break and spotted your post, now maybe with some humor I can work out the bugs.

[…] having a bad day and took a break from work hoping to clear my head when I spotted this from Eco-crap. It’s a short video of less than three minutes but it gave me my one good laugh of the day […]

Indeed! And so representative of how the whole thing was “taken care of”!
