I’ve been reading a few posts about how green is becoming too trendy and a few others about sustainability’s trendiness.  So which is trendier greeness (not technically a word but it is now) or sustainability?  I think I have a better question:

yes, those ARE question marks

yes, those ARE question marks

Are people really peeved over green and sustainable initiatives being talked about too much and too often? Well, for all you out there tired about reading green/sustainable stuff I will say two things:  1) Why are you on this site?  and 2) Get used to it.  Greeness and sustainability is NOT a trend.  It may be trendy to talk about it now but the world will go sustainable whether you like it or not and there are only two ways in which it’s going to do it: 1) Is global and local action where we all roll up our sleeves and get the job done and 2) We do nothing and die off until the world population gets to a number that can sustain itself on the resources the Earth provides.  I like the first option because it doesn’t require mass death. 

I do hear what some of you are saying though.  I get the whole “green and sustainable have turned into buzzwords and are losing their meaning” argument.  But if talking about these initiatives too much is our biggest problem, I think I can deal.
