Bottom line......
"Green" products cost more because someone is making a tremendous profit from these inferior products. They are made shoddily and marketed as good for the environment on purpose. That purpose? MAXIMIZING the profits of those folks like AlGore.
Better for the earth? I don't think so due to the fact that you generally need to use 2 - 3 times the amount of the stuff to get the job done. So much for waste reduction. But that DOES sell even MORE of the expensive junk thereby putting even more cash in the coffers of Mr Gore and his ilk.
Now that I've clarified that, can someone tell me just how buying carbon credits will save the earth?
I HAVE gone green in the past and intend to do so in the future. Compact fluorescent lights have reduced my electric bill by a significant amount. Enough that they have easily paid for themselves and continued to save.
I want to see what effect the new L.E.D. lights will have. Considering that CFLs rated at 60 watts only draw 15 watts I would think that a 60 watt LED would draw maybe 1 - 2 watts. This would be a significantly lower power draw and thereby save even more money.
MY green is cash, thank you. Going green in my book is saving money.
