Okay, can we please finally stop using the term "GREEN" as a catch phrase for anything that has to do with environmental sustainability. I am sick to death of hearing of how someone is trying to be greener, or how this government policy is green, or soap-boxers telling me how I can do things to be more green!
Alternatives/suggestions I'd encourage everyone to use:
- sustainable
- environmentally aware
- energy efficient
- less wasteful
Oh, and "CARBON NEUTRAL" is junk too. No one is carbon neutral. Living life necessitates contributing to carbon emissions. And those who claim to be are just digging into their wallets to pay off their guilty consciences, which is exact the same as the papal abuse of indulgences which caused Martin Luther to post his theses against the church.
All this coming from someone who is committed to a more environmentally sensitive lifestyle and career.
