Green Product Reflections on New Years Eve
All,
As I sit here at 12:08 a.m. eastern standard time, I want to reflect back upon the year that was 2009.
Copenhagen? Who knows. The media is back and forth on the outcomes geared toward the reduction of CO2 and the pending disaster attributed to global warming. The very simple fact is that mother earth has warmed and cooled numerous times beyond the time of homo sapiens and will continue to do so with or without our help.
Biodegradable trash Bags? These have made a turnaround in terms of mainstreams popularity. Still not available on a mass market level, but based on sales, the tide is turning I am happy to say. Green is the new black, but how can we maintain longer term sustainability?
Water purity? Well, in Miami at a very popular hotel, there was an outbreak of e coli infections based on contaminated water. How is it possible in today’s day and age? Blame the infrastructure. How much of the TARP money went upgrading our basic national infrastructure? An amount so miniscule that it is embarrassing. That is why the carbon block multipure water filter is still a hot item not just in rural areas but right in our neighborhoods.
Are we still leaving dog poop on the neighbors lawns? You bet. I had mentioned earlier in the year about a neighbor that walked his dogs without a biodegradable dog poop bag or any dog poop bags for that matter. Christmas morning was no exception.
So what did I do on New Years Eve? I spent some time with friends until about 10:30 and then stayed up with the children playing Wii. Lame in some eyes I am sure. But to my daughters, worth an eternity of love.
Here is wishing you all the best on what was 2009 and looking forward to a great 2010.
till next time….
