'Tis the Season To Be Green

Ah, spring time. I love the changing of the seasons, especially when change means warmer weather and more daylight. I also love seeing flowers blossoming and the brown grass turning green. But this time of year the fauna isn’t the only thing turning green. I mean politically speaking. As the weather gets warmer, I’ve seen green advertisements from Old Navy and Wal-Mart and watch the media report global warming news stories.

This irks me because I HATE trendy green people—this just shows how stupid people are, and people only care about the earth when the TV tells them too. Please, don’t get me wrong. I’m all about conserving our natural resources and helping our planet become cleaner. However, it’s getting ridiculous with how the media conveniently talk about global warming as the earth gets warmer.

If the earth is facing some serious pollution issues, we should be concerned about environmental issues all year, not just in the summer. Does any one complain if the weather is ten degrees warmer than usual in January? No! People are thankful for it, and I have yet to encounter a global warming feature in the winter. However, if it’s ten degrees warmer in July, better watch out because global warming is at work.

In my opinion we need to be more environmentally concerned in the winter because that’s when the pollution is at it’s worst with using our energy sources to heat up houses. Not to mention the winter months aren’t so pretty.

Well I’m finished complaining about how I think the world is ridiculous—at least for now, though I will say I’m having a premeditated addiction to Lush products, which is a very green company. They make organic soaps and cleansers for hair and skin. I’m going to a Lush store in Vegas this week, and I can’t wait.
