Green is the new black

Am I the only person who sees how hypocritical this whole "green" movement is? Several weeks ago in the Gateway's food court I saw a woman wearing a "Green is the new black" tshirt. She had one of those cloth tote bags all the stores are persuading you to use. Yet, she was wolfing down a McDonald's Big Mac and shoved a large thing of fries down her throat. Seriously? The meat industry is responsible for like 80% of the world's pollution! Plus, I don't think McDonald's uses real cuts of meat, just the left overs from other places. Not to mention that in a few years that lady's arteries will look like this:


Then, while at the store with my mother, I saw a woman unloading her herd of kids from her Escalade(sorry kids, since Mormons started using them to tote their kids around, you don't look like a bad ass, you look like a soccer mom). She was wearing a shirt with a peace sign on it and had an arm full of cloth totes. Environmentally conscious hippies do not drive Escalades : )

This picture is kind of sexist as well... What if Timmy wants to do ballet and Suzy wants to play soccer?

If you truely want to be "green", go vegan. It it is a form of non-violent protest and gets the point across that you will not stand for cruelty. This is where America gets their newest hot word: coexistance. Coexistance means getting along with all walks of life. Including animals and humans.

I'm done with my rantings for the day. Remember, don't give into trends and stay freaky : )
