GO GREEN

The current “go green” movement is more political than practical. Most green initiatives are superficial. The brand of dish soap I use has a new environmentally friendly formula; it doesn’t cut grease as well as the original formula but it is politically correct and good marketing to be eco-friendly.
Now I use more soap and more hot water, therefore more oil and electricity to heat the water, just to clean the same amount of dishes. Whatever has been removed from the more effective original formula of dish soap is undoubtedly making the Earth a healthier and cleaner place to live with all the added benefits of increased use of fossil fuel.
Say…. I can reduce my fossil fuel consumption by replacing my old inefficient incandescent light bulbs with new “smart energy” long life bulbs. Wow! I’m sure the mercury contained in these bulbs won’t have nearly the adverse effect on the environment as the poison removed from the dish soap I’ve been using for the last twenty years.
Be sure to support all the green products and programs; it won’t help the environment but it will cost you more. At least somebody is getting green!
