Going Green Making Some Businesses Bank Accounts "Green"

All of the scientific mumbo jumbo aside, whenever big business gets involved in something one has got to be a little bit nervous.  It being Earth Day and all I thought this post would be particularly relevant.  I came to work today listening to tons of people on each side of the "global warming" phenomenon yell at each other and become vehemently mad with one another.  Is it possible though that both sides are being played as fools while big business lines its pockets with our cash?

As you walk the grocery store isles these days every product has its equal and opposite "green" counterpart.  Especially when it comes to cleaning products.  Clorox has its green cleaner.  Palmolive has its green dish soap.  So on and so on.  Is that really green? I took a look at the ingredients in these products in the stores and they are virtually the same.  Plus don't these companies have a larger carbon foot print because instead of shipping one product, they have to ship two and spend more gas, etc. to do so.  

I'm just curious.  Everything "green" these days.  What does it mean?? Some of it seems a bit hypocritical.  People think if they get these green products it's fabulous because it is synonymous with being good.  Good citizens and heaven for bid good Americans.  I think it's just another way for someone to make money.  When people catch on then big business will move on to the next trend to leech onto. And we'll all be pinned against each other to argue about something else.
