GREEN – the IN word! Is it merely a status symbol?

 

Green FrogWikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines Fads and Trends: 

A fad is something that is very popular with a small group of people for a short period of time.

A trend is something that becomes popular within mainstream society over a long period of time. It is the direction of a sequence of events that has some momentum and durability.

In earlier years there were pet rocks, slinkies, Rubik’s cube, dice on the car mirror, acupuncture, naturopathy, ripped jeans, multi tasking, etc., etc. Now it’s GREEN, cell phones, political correctness, zero tasking, being a vegetarian, Ipods, and of course Blogs!

I must admit that I am an environmentalist, especially with regard to plastic but I would hope that the current trend for everything “GREEN” isn’t just another money-maker for manufacturers of all types.

David, I am all for the idea of "green". The less pollution the better, but man, I am already sick of every TV station in the US force feeding us with "green" reminders. Is the word "backlash" in the fad or trend stage yet? lOL

Hi Patrick - Yeah - good comment. The backlash is probably due any day soon!
