My own hypocrisy confounds and, at times, infuriates me.<br /><br />My better half has gone back to uni and is just finishing a degree in environmental sustainability. One aspect of this field is being able to advise business on how to meet the environmental demands that are coming.<br /><br />The reality, CWTF, is that cutting one's personal emissions doesn't have to be an ordeal. There are options beyond sackcloth and ashes. You can actually have quite a comfortable standard of living because a lot of the things you do without weren't particularly necessary or even valuable when you had them.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-522614703213640312010-05-26T18:08:56.523-07:002010-05-26T18:08:56.523-07:00I'm not sure I agree with you fully.
Like you...I'm not sure I agree with you fully.<br /><br />Like yourself I have heard people who talk the "green talk" and are quite ready to point fingers at others whilst totally missing their own consumption and effect on the environment. They drive me nuts with their hypocrisy.<br /><br />But I do believe there are ways that we can all reduce our consumption wisely. I don't think that a forced "greening" will work or makes sense in the long run.<br />If we can maintain a certain standard of living, then I think it will be easier. The problem is that being "green" is a business and one that often will use deceptive marketing practices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
