Green Is the Color of Money
- and said:
Amanda, first, good to see someone else from Brentwood making good.
Second, the unfortnuate truth is that so much of the so-called ‘green’ out there now is either purely marketing or cutting costs in non-integral elements of production, etc. So long as the costs of energy are low enough to permit business as usual, and so long as the majority of society either doesn’t know better or doesn’t care, very little is going to become truly ‘green.’ Yes, I realize I’m a master of the obvious…
And just for full disclosure, the last time I saw Amanda was in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Ellsworth, Maine. I guess there’s still a fair bit of ‘brown’ even in the ‘greenest’ of us.
