I just wonder how far reaching the "green" movement can go. According to the Planet Green Network there is a growing movement for our vaccinations to now go green. Apparently, other than injecting a virus into your body like standard vaccines, there are additional chemicals that come along for the ride.
If this picture (top of the posting) is any indication of the "power" behind this movement, there seems to be five people very interested in seeing that mercury and aluminum find no place in future vaccinations. My curiosity is what does "green" mean anyway? I thought that being green had something to do with the environment and with energy conservation. Does "green" have a definition or can we just call me defecating on my lawn for fertilizer considered "green" because I am using renewable organic resources?
Is there something that can't go green? Green, green, green! This blog is green right? No paper used in its creation? Or do our computers need to be solar powered to be considered a green blog? As Kermit The Frog once so prophetically stated, "It isn't easy being green".
Why not? Because they don't work as well that's why not. Remember in the 70's we where told DDT was destroying the world? So they stopped spraying it in Africa in favor of more "green" ways to control malaria. The result malaria deaths went up. 30 years latter we find out that DDT isn't as bad as they said it was but the damage has been done and no one will use the stuff even though it works like gang busters.
ReplyDeleteDo you know they don't work as well or you are just assuming that because it is "green" it is untested hype designed to render certain chemicals "uncool"?
ReplyDeleteyou know what I saw at the grocery store the other day.... recycled toilet paper. Now I was too disgusted to read the label and find out if it was previously used and reclaimed toilet paper or if it was made from all the office memos we stick in the recycling bin at work, but either way I don't want it touching my rear.
