Greed in the Name of Green
Article, Living Simply No Comments »Emily of Casa Chirilagua sent me a link to a great Washington Post article today.
It talks about how going green has become a new option of conspicuous consumption. It’s something I and my friends struggle with. One, Dawnille, also of Casa Chirilagua, is particularly interested in starting a business of fair trade clothing, but is working through how to do it successfully while not continuing the societal embrace of consumerism.
She sent me a wonderful website, the Story of Stuff. It does an excellent job of addressing the history of consumerism in our society and the problems of our extreme resource usage.
