Green is Hot but

all is not Green.

 

   Being green id the right thing.  As a consumer make sure what is Green.  The box the "it" came in, the tree they plant to off set the harmful effects of their products to the environment or the total mindset and product being manufactured.
     
  "Greenwashing"   Is making you think the product you are buying is GREEN.  Do your homework on the products you buy.
