How green are you? How green is anyone?
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Do you use compact florescent bulbs?
Do you use paper cups at Starbucks or do you bring your own mug?
Do you bring you own bag when you go to the grocery store?
Do you even think about this stuff on a daily basis?
Do you think that this whole “green movement” is just another scam that some groups are using to drive an agenda that may have nothing to do with, and have no effect on, the environment?
Do you think that business is getting on board the “green movement” in order to protect the environment or more as a public relations move?
Why do I feel like I am falling for someone’s marketing campaign?
I was visiting a bicycle distributor last week and noticed the amount of products that they had arriving at the loading dock. Tires, tubes, chains, cassettes, bar tape, etc. Massive amounts of brand new stuff wrapped up nice and ready to sell.
Where do all the old tires and tubes and chains and cassettes and bar tape and packaging material go?
Add this distributor to all the distributors in the bicycle industry. Add the bicycle industry to all industry.
What percentage of the stuff that we “consume” gets recycled? Where does the rest go?
Are we making any difference at all?
Does any of this matter?
I don’t feel very important today.
