Seemingly every day, there is some large company touting their "Green" energy policies. Great goal...but the implementation seems to be all talk and little benefit. Today, I had to laugh when I had an Amazon delivery today.
I ordered 10 bottles of my favorite sweetener - flavored liquid Stevia. I prefer this because Stevia is natural. It is an herb. HOWEVER, (I digress) in powder form it is processed much in the same manner as white, table sugar. Hence, UNHEALTHY. "Raw" sugar tends to be brown and it is much less "unhealthy" than processed sugar.
ANYWAY, our green firm, Amazon....sent the same flavor, from the same company, in three separate plastic bags. Each bottle is 1 ounce. How does this "save" energy or efficiency? Not to mention the cost. Each packages was a huge plastic envelope...so yes it is recyclable but c'mon...we can do better!!
I remember a blog in which the creator laughed at current "green" strategies. He mentioned milk coming in glass bottles that are utilized over and over again. He menti0ned cloth diapers that are washed and used again - versus the landfill-stuffing disposables we all use today,
This leads to my moral of the day for business. Hypocrisy is rampant, noticed by most people and universally annoying to most. Keep it real!!
