In today's business world is the written mantra that every successful company write down their priorities and business plan. That some companies refuse to do so in regards to being "green" demonstrates that they have no plan to stop being wasteful. Especially with nonrenewable resources. Oh, I forgot. You are some successful businessman who knows all this stuff. #28, pedro,

Yes the issue of pollution is real and needs to be dealt with but all to often the math connected to the green business modals does not compute. Well the green business makes a lot of money but the benefit to others/the environment is often rather limited. I agree, this is mainly a way to extort money.

Give my regards to Grizzly Adams when you see him. Oh, and stop using the interwebbytubbies, they contribute to global warming. My apologies to #19, you were right. I should have noted it once Huge Ripoff was onboard. #23 And I though you weren’t being braindead. Give my regards to Grizzly Adams when you see him.

If people think it's a good idea to ban SUVs because some people drive them with just one person in the car and they burn too much fuel, then it is reasonable to ban other wasteful products. If people want to see brightness, let them go outside and look at the sun. Limit laptops and desktops to 14 inch screens. Ban wireless routers and cell phones. Pedro, I’m not being sarcastic.

No-one's telling you what to buy. It's advice, nothing more. If buying 'eco-friendly' floats your boat, pay attention. If not, don't. What fascistic about that? A lot of people (mostly non-American people from what I can tell) actually give a crap about pollution (pun not intended) and the environment and try to live accordingly. Personally I don't really go for the Greenpeace dogma, but I do consider the environment when I buy and dispose of stuff. Reducing pollution and increasing energy efficiency are desirable outcomes.Why the redneck 'dont tell me to stop polluting' attitude? #19 Faxon
