Can you tell us about common misconceptions on green living?
I'm not talking about people who are against green living, but those who thinks they are leading a greener lifestyle.
I have been bothered by people who thinks consumption of green products is thus green living. Some people buy green products in additional to their normal needs. The key is to consume less!!
There was a great article on New York Times, but it's subscription only right now. Treehuggers have their own report on this issue: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/buying_into_the.php
Do you know of any other common misconception about green living that you'd like to share with us?
More about recycling controversy, here's clips from Penn & Teller:
pt.1 http://youtube.com/watch?v=9oloM_dSoW4
pt.2 http://youtube.com/watch?v=gvfQ0iffj40
pt.3 http://youtube.com/watch?v=Cnoj9MPpi54
Not all recycling is good. I really hope that people notice that REDUCE is the most important part of green living.

I have become very interested in green living?
Does anyone have suggestions or a link that can guide me on what I can do? I already recycle my bottles and cans. I no longer buy styrofoam cups. I've heard that it's better to use cloth towels rather than paper towels. I am looking for simple things that I can do.

Why do people in the green living section doubt that eating meat harms the environment?
These people supposedly care about the environment, but when I asked about being vegetarian for the sake of the environment, and linked the following article: http://www.taxmeat.com/ecological.asp I seemed to get negative responses.
Do they not believe that factory farming is one of the biggest polluters or do they just put their need for a cheeseburger ahead of their love for the environment? If they would cut down their meat intake, they could not only lower their environmental impact but would be living a much healthier lifestyle, cutting down costs of healthcare as well.
Producing just one hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles. By giving up the hamburgers, you could theoretically "pay" for the carbon costs of your drive to work.

Are the poor bearing a disproportionate amount of the responsibility for green living?
It seems to me that the wealthiest 10% of the population are doing about 90% of the polluting. They drive yachts, they fly private jets (and more commercial flying than middle class and poor), they have more cars (manufacturing pollution), they drive more miles (more pollution), they tend to have nonproductive/luxury type professions (movies, television, or executive positions), and they tend to have much larger houses (5,000, 6,000, 15,000 square feet), etc. The list goes on and on.
The carbon footprints of the wealthiest 10% of the population are HUGE, yet there is NO pressure from the left to tax them more for their polluting behaviors. There is NO pressure from the left for them to simply STOP polluting as much. There is NO call for movie stars, for example, to live in smaller homes and give up their jets. Why not?
shortstop -- that doesn't make sense. Rich people use fireplaces more than poor people, and they use them for pleasure (sometimes with multiple fireplaces in one home). Rich people do buy more cars, which is WORSE, because the pollution caused in the manufacturing of a new car is FAR worse than the pollution created in keeping a 5 or 10 year old car on the road for another couple of years. People who drive new cars every year are BIGGER polluters, not smaller.
Mike - sure, I can see the math numbers. However, before anyone has the gall to tell me I have to spend $1000 on a new furnace, I want the multi-millionaire to live in a 1500 square foot house. See what I mean? I may have a furnace from 1985, but I heat under 1500 square feet. Some guy with a 2007 high-tech furnace heating a 10,000 square foot house is FAR WORSE THAN ME!
Fluvial -- I don't think the movie stars are responsible for most pollution. I think that a movie star, however, is responsible for WAY MORE than me, you, and anyone else who is of middle or lower class. Therefore, before someone tells me I have to put on a new roof, re-insulate the place, and spend $1000 on a new furnace, I want THEM to not live so extravagantly.
Fluvial -- yes, I understand that ExxonMobil had the biggest profits in history. One thing is for sure, though, is that ExxonMobil performs a necessary service. Without ExxonMobil, our cars won't run. Being a movie star, or Al Gore, is a luxury.
Plus, I'm just talking about bearing disproportionate burden. If I earn a modest income, drive a modest car, and live in a modest house, why should I have to revamp my HVAC system before Al Gore, or Cheryl Crow? Why should I ever get rid of my SUV before John Travolta gets rid of his 5 airplanes parked in his front yard?
Belladonna -- the line is simply drawn at -- "how dare John Travolta tell me to stop driving an SUV when he has 5 planes in his yard?" That's my point, in a nutshell.
