Why are all green eco warriors, preaching on how to live our lives all upper middle class, wealthy idiots?

People like me do not always have the financial resources to live green and I feel the Green Movement is just another tool used by rich people to keep me in my place, so | can't enjoy the same things they do regularly :-(

Thanks for the comment. The goal wasn't to keep anyone in his place, but rather to explore money-saving steps that boast green benefits. Most cost nothing: unplug your appliances when not in use; use a rake, not a leaf blower; get a home energy audit; dry your laundry back-to-back. Replacing regular light bulbs with compact fl. bulbs saves money over time.

As for me being an upper middle class wealthy idiot - While some may agree with the idiot reference, I can assure you I'm not wealthy.

I used kebob skewers and put it in a toothbrush holder. You save about 20 dollars for the plastic bag dryer.

You can follow me @fundgreenpower for ways you can have a tremendous positive impact on the environment, and save money. All without changing anything about your lifestyle.

Thanks Susan for the great video! By making small changes such as the tips you provided, we can all make a big impact. For example, one of the issues many people do not know about is organic cotton. If we all made the switch to organic cotton, it would stop over 456 million lbs of toxic chemicals from being sprayed in one year alone. If you want to know more, please watch our video Why Organic Cotton? Have a great day.
