I'm going to stick my ugly head in here.
I have a different opinion about going green. Going green is a million dollar industry, and has been for years. Example: Cars...we have had the ability to research and produce functional electric cars from as early as the 1890's.
History of Electric Vehicles
Gasoline and diesel driven vehicles were cheaper to produce which made the profit margin greater for the companies involved.
Why now then? Because it is now stylish for people to be green, which increases the bottom line/bottom dollar. Be careful about falling into the "Organic" or "green" phenomenon. Extremists will exaggerate the truth to get what they want, companies will pad the pockets of the press and government to get what they want. IMO, if you truly want to start the way to being self sufficient and "green," then study up on how people lived in the 1800's. Recycle storm water from drains to water plants, recycle items like paper, glass, and aluminum, shop smart when it comes to food cloths, etc, and watch out for fads. I just touched a small part of what I do for myself, but I still eat meat. Not as much now that my heart is weaker, but I still eat some.
Our society, Press, and government is influenced by the almighty dollar.
Oh yeah: I was a member of Green peace for a while, but was not happy with the attitude of some of the other members. Lets just say that the idea that the end justifies the means does not flow right with me.
We can't forget the oil industry also.
