Green.

I despise the word "green" when used in any way that doesn't have to do with the color. Or somebody being sick (but that's a whole other topic....). Back on track....I don't want you to misunderstand my position here, I hate this whole "green movement". I know what your thinking "OMG Travis totally hates the environment!!!" but no, that's not at all what I mean. I'm a big fan of the environment. But when you stick a green label on something and say your supporting "green" efforts it's really pointless. I'm really, it's like think pink ribbon that represent breast cancer research. Anybody can put that on their product and say they're supporting breast cancer research when in reality they don't give any money or do anything other than put the pink ribbon on a box. It's the thought that counts right?

Back to green! I noticed the other day some coasters that where marketed as "green". These coasters where solar powered light up plastic... I'm not going to insult your intelligence by commenting further... The stupidest products have started saying that they are environmentally friendly, I don't like it at all.

So, the point I want to make here. Lets start really doing something for the environment, like stop mowing our lawns. Why not stop watering them as well? If we didn't mow or water anymore not only are we not using water but we're not using gasoline or any of the parts needed in the manufacturing of lawn mowers.

Another idea....Never mind...I got nothing. To be honest the main point of this post is that I hate to mow. But the whole "green movement" makes me mad...I got a rootbeer today, one of the few carbonated beverages I love more than food...Actually it's the only carbonated beverage I love more than food....Back on topic! The rootbeer had a green cap on it and the company (A&W I think) was having a car give-away. The car in question was one of those hybrids, which taking into account all of the rare earth metals needed to make those things and the shipping across oceans and all that, your not really doing all that much by way of conservation...

Sorry for this first post to be more of a rant than anything but...I love me some rootbeer and hate to mow... Feel free to discuss.
