is the word green to big companies just another tactic to part you from your hard earned cash (cost, government)

And just when did or was capitalism different? They have and will use tricks to buy their products. It's the American way.

GREEN or ORGANIC mean nothing but more expensive.

Many years ago a labeling error brought out the fact that the expensive canned tuna was the same can of Tuna Cat Food with a different label

And with the government taking over the term "organic" it's definition has changed to include chemicals used by Big Ag and Food corporations so that food is not the "organic" you think it is anymore.

Here's an oxymoron..."green" paper plates. And they cost more than un-green paper plates yet both end up in the landfill so how is that being green ?

And "green" chemical cleaners ? ROFL..vinegar is more of an example of "green" cleaning.

And which capitalist stands to make the most from the green movement? It seems to me that it may be Algore buying carbon credits from one company that he owns by another he owns. Also, he is ready to make a killing on manufacture of all kinds of "green" crap. What you think about that?
