GO GREEN OR GO HOME

By the way I have to say this ----I've had it with hearing Go Green , Recycle, Save the Planet and Global Warming. These phrases are literally everywhere. I don't know about you, but it's gotten to the point where everyone on the planet got it already. People have been recyclying for years. In fact, my Dad was recycling everything way before it was cool.

Enough already! It's boring, passe, old, and downright makes me feel like tossing my cookies!
If people aren't going to recycle, they aren't going to do it, no matter how much advertising is being done. Every magazine has an article about going green. Practially every TV show on the planet we live on has had a story concerning going green, except maybe Saturday Night Live, and "Rock of Love 2".

I totally understand the need to save the earth, but why the big push all of a sudden? And why did it suddenly become the hip thing to do? Even celebrities are in on the act, such as Cheryl Crow with her whole stupid thing of only using one or two squares of toilet paper depending on the toilet duty. No wonder Lance left her.

If you didn't get the entire thing about recycling then you are living under a rock. And no matter how much media bombardment of going green will never change people who don't give a doo-doo. But don't get me wrong, because I do care about saving the planet, and recylcing and going green. I've been recyling for years and years. I go outside and to parks and to beaches and pick up our litter and other people's litter. I gather tires, and wood into piles to make the beach a nicer, sandier place.

But why oh why do we have to read, listen and hear about "Go Green" at every turn? It's too much. And you know it's beyond the saturation point when your kids come home from school with papers filled with what we should do to go green. Our area has several schools that went totally green, and has recycled water, solar panels, and a natural garden out back.

I realize that if we don't do something we won't have a world left, but I think if I hear or read, "carbon footprint" one more time, I will vomit.

Not everyone will do their part in the effort to save the planet anyways, so why keep telling us to Go Green? Maybe what we should do it stop talking about it , and do something about it. Pick up your own garbage at public parks, beaches and don't throw garbage out of the car, or when you walk somewhere, or into a stream, pond, lake or ocean. Just do your part and stop telling us to do our part.

With gas getting ridiculously high, it's to the point where we only use the car when it is absolutley necessary. It's too expensive to go for a ride on a really nice day anymore. Without even knowing it people will be going green anyways. We'll all be staying home more often because gas is too expensive to put into our vehicles.
