First of all, I apologize for my brief hiatus, but I did want to take a chance to thank Lefty, Green Planet Catering, and the rest of gang who put together the I'm Turning Green party that took place last week! It really was a great time, and it was wonderful to hear about all of the business's who are making strides to become greener!Speaking of which, this morning I was listening to the radio and heard a commercial that basically said something along the lines of "Go green by saving green - come out to this X car dealership today and get a brand new car." What I find annoying about this is that after hearing about all of the business's who are really making a difference, it's a shame that it almost becomes a wash because people are using green as a way to advertise, ever if they aren't sincere.I wish there was a way to regulate this - literally on my trip to Ocean City, Maryland a few months ago, there were a ton of hotels and stores that were using the notion of going green as a way to bring in clients - but frequently this is false advertising. This false advertising takes away from all of those community members and businesses that truly are going green by insinuating they are green as well - it makes "going green" seem more like this month's craze then a lifestyle. I don't know...after meeting so many great people at the I'm Turning Green Launch Party, it was just a shame to see and hear so many businesses abuse this mentality just to make a quick buck. What do ya'll think???
