Eco Chic + Green Sunchips






For me Earth Day means a new market for many industries. Fashion, food, home ANYTHING can go green. Some people complain it's just a new marketing pitch, a new way to get our tree-hugging generation up and buying, well yeah that's true. But so what? At this day and age, people are so critical and most faux-eco companies would be rooted out until we're left with mostly, the real deal. If it's doing something good for the Earth and people like it, then what the hell. I've already seen dozens of commercials pitching their "green" products at idiots like me, and yes I'm probably going to buy them.

I'm not really into the whole save-the-earth scene, but when my favorite brand of jeans starts to make corn based shorts, I'll go out and buy them. Show me a cute bunny choking on a plastic bag of chips and yeah I'll feel guilty, but I'm not going to campaign for bio-degradable Lays bags afterward. Show me a biodegradable bag of SunChips that I was planning on buying anyways, and who knows I might just splurge on them because it's "good for the environment".

Jessica,
don't worry. You aren't idiot, you're just a little special. Anyway, you shold care more about the planet or you may just lose it. I will make you care. One day at a time. :)
