For those of you who have known me, or at least known of me for the past year, I've been very big on all of this Go Green and Clean Up the World stuff. This was particularly the case at our dear College of Fame. I met with all sorts of different folks in administration to talk about what the college was doing to be a bit more environmentally friendly.
When I arrived home for the summer it finally dawned on me that I was not alone by any means in this crusade. Companies around the US are all trying to put different labels or campaigns out letting us, the consumers know, that they are "Doing Their Part in Making America Green."
Well, in the case of The College of Fame (COF) and American Corporations as well, I think it's more along the lines of "Saying Our Part in Making America Green."
Here's the thing: Press conferences, meetings, email notices; I think we've all become a bit apathetic towards it all. Yeah, it's great that you're saying all of this, but what are you actually DOING about it. What can I see, witness, be part of, that will prove to me that things are moving in a greener direction.
I like recycling. I'd like my car to run on something other than fossil fuels. But I'm realistic and know that progress takes time. But at the same time, I want to be sure that progress is in fact what is occurring, not just another song and dance routine.
Sometimes when I get done posting I wonder if I've really said anything at all. I guess I'd just like to know where Green is actually going...

I love that you call it the College of Fame. I'm going to have to start using that one. :D

You say that going green takes a lot of time, yet the Incredible Hulk did it in a matter of seconds.
quite true jam19, but I'm simply not build like Edward Norton....
