It’s Not Easy Being Green

So, today I was perusing my local Barnes and Noble, and I realized that the Sustainability bandwagon had hit rock bottom, as an entire table display was devoted to being green.

Green Chic: Saving the Earth in Style particularly caught my eye. Apparently, saving the Earth that sustains us and gives us continuing life is only important as long as we’re still staying fashionable.

Furthermore, even magazines have hopped on board, with questionable results.

What does this cover suggest to you? Apparently, it’s Vanity Fair’s Annual Green issue. Is Madonna an enviornmentalist? No, not really…but her story appears to be more important than being green. This magazine has one or two articles about being “green”, followed by 15 pages on Madonna and 80 pages of ads. Seems a little hypocritical to have all of that waste. A real green issue would have cut to a minimum of advertising and contain only actual article content. I realize they have to make money, but have you seen Vanity Fair? It’s pretty thick.
