Resistant Are We?

Eco Snobbery Sucks... I don't always pay attention to all of the constant Facebook updates, but I am glad that I took the time to read one from The Daily Green who shared the Eco Snobbery Sucks blog. In the past (and I'm sure again in the future), I have had conversations with people who are resistant to living green on the basis that they could never possibly do enough anyhow. I like the idea of a clever sustainable-oriented website that addresses "green" issues in a non-judgemental manner.

If you don't read The Daily Green article, here is one section:

"According to Jeffrey, the reason he founded Eco-Snobbery Sucks is to bring attention to the oft-forgotten truth that every step taken towards green matters, big or small. According to the site's faq, eco-snobbery could also play out when:

•People look down their noses at others for not doing “as much” as they do.

•Businesses make their operations or products seem more eco-friendly than they really are.

•Manufacturers charge an unfair “eco-premium” for products that don’t warrant it."
