Green = Good

You heard it here first. The fact that I’ve ever had to say that phrase at all burns my biscuits like all get-out, because anyone with eyes can see that *something* is going on, and what in the world could Liberals gain by pointing out that what we’ve been doing for the past 100 years obviously isn’t working anymore?

Well, of course it is no news that many Conservative-type politicians have their fingers in the Big Oil pie. [ew, what an image.] But even they are starting to see that the Petroleum Party is almost to an end, and even off-shore drilling won’t keep the cops from coming and telling everyone to go home. When you have folks like the infamous T. Boone Pickens switching over from oil to wind power and making fairly long commercials and visits to talk shows to promote this switch, you know it’s serious, folks. At least he’s got a grasp on things, and if he can get a grip, then that should be the sign for the rest of the feet-draggers to get on board.

If you’d like a good read about Conservatives and  Environmental Issue Apathy, you might want to read over this link, which was posted in 2005 but still holds plenty of truth: http://www.buzzflash.com/whitehurst/05/04/whi05003.html

What do you do or say when *you* are faced with this apathy, or outright ridicule? I’d love to read your reactions on this!

Keep watching this space! My idea is to create a space where there can be small eco-friendly business reviews, easily implemented ideas for living a greener life, news from the eco-sphere, and natural beauty tips and tricks. I envision this as being a group effort with several bloggers contributing information… please let us know if there are green-oriented subjects near and dear to your heart that need more coverage, because we’re listening!
