Go Green? Enough Already
Drive a puny, fuel efficient car or hybrid; use an ugly little light bulb that emits a dull light and is hazardous when broken; wear a sweater in your own home in the winter and don’t be afraid to sweat in the summer; all in the name of "going green". I’m tired of being lectured to on how to live my life by elitists who don’t even follow their own rules. It’s time to say enough is enough. I would have no problem if conservation and recycling were spoken of in the context of energy efficiency and cost effectiveness, but the green movement has become an out of control religion based on what many experts now believe is a myth, man-made global warming. Americans are constantly bombarded by the media with this message of "going green" that is designed to give people a false sense of "doing good". In the process, they are willing to give up their individual rights one by one and without question. That is why "going green", which was once a cute little message, is now becoming an oppressive slogan.
