lol... this video is supposed to be sarcastic and ironic. It's trying to point out the major flaws of the "green consumerism" movement.

[tinyshutterbug]

This video brought up a lot of points you never actually hear people talk about - for example, we always pay attention to recycling but forget the actual phrase, "reduce reuse recycle". It really should be treated as a cycle. You should reduce your consumption and buy less, or reuse whatever you already have. Recycling really should be the last step, not the first one.

if youre from Hawaii , Her name Li Hing Mui is a dead-giveaway for the funny sarcasm ahead. =)

so "green", "bio", "eco", etc, these jargon has been heavily misused by many capitalists? some kind of hypocrisy? for them, at the end it's all about the money.

There are other reasons to stop buying things unless you really need them and they have nothing to do with AGW. Just search "materials economy".

@heavydinsc

More skeptical, astutue and informed than naive.

Canaan1967's, advice regarding existing products is sound, but it makes no sense to declare that AGW "doesn't exist" and then implore people to stop buying things. The very manufacturing of those "things" is an anthropogenic activity, and there's an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence indicating that this activity is having an impact on our global climate by way of greenhouse gas emissions. Let's act sensibly, yes, but let's not also be naive.

[canaan1967]

Saving the planet has nothing to do with anthropogenic global warming. AGW does not exist. Natural Climate change does.

Pollution, toxins, sustainability, wildlife and the "Gaia Prinicple" are much more important than the feel goodery of "Global Warming."

[canaan1967]

The most renewable sustainable products are the one's you already have and should hold onto as long as you live if possible
