No, I don't use these words. To be honest, I didn't even know most of them.
I've been away from America too long. |

Wow am I not hip.
I thought "going green" was something Miss Piggy did back in the 80's. Every time I hear "carbon offset" I think of Al Gore. Whose picture always seems to remind me we have a Polar Bear to save. He needs to do a few "push away's" from the table. He is the FATTEST "green guy" I have ever seen.

I think "hybrid" cars should have made this list- they can reproduce just as well as a hot-rod Lincoln...

YES! I am so sick of attempts to appear "green"! Don't they call that "greenwashing" now? I just saw a commercial that told you it was "green" to buy their insurance, because since you apply entirely online it would save all those trees!

I'm green. I'm very green. This whole place is green.

To me green still means 'inexperienced' and I admit I used maverick just the other day as in "Oh look! Maverick is on! I love that movie...."

Maybe "word" should be a banned sentence.

I use companies that have the little clever symbols to tell me how green they are as a guide. I refuse to use their services.
By the way trees are great once they are dead. We lived in the Florida Keys for 3 years. WOW you almost needed a permit from the EPA to mow your lawn for pity sake. They flew over in airplanes and took pictures of the mangroves, and if you had cut back more than a certain percentage, you got a HUGE fine. They have been "green" there for quite a while now. I watched them stop a $100 million project for the sake of a new rat they found!
