Tom Guarriello discusses a Sunday Times article about green consumer products and asks whether you buy items marketed as environmentally friendly. He references Al Gore's film as a turning point for mainstream environmentalism and wonders how much actual environmental impact these purchases really have.
Hey guys, it's Tom Guarriello. A gorgeous morning here in Connecticut, and reading this morning's Sunday Times, came upon this article. See the headline there? Buying into the Green Movement. And the article is all about, of course, all of the new consumer goods that are currently being marketed as being green. You know, environmentalism has become a mainstream concern thanks to, well, a lot of things, the Al Gore movie not being the smallest of those things. But anyway, the article was all about people who buy products because they're marketed as being green. So my question for you is Do you buy products because they're green, marketed as green? And if so, which products are you buying? And, um, what's your thoughts about what those products are really doing in terms of impact on, um, the environment? So thanks a lot. It's my question for today, and, uh, looking forward to seeing you guys at 777. And just one quick word of, uh, support and solidarity for all of our friends over in Great Britain. Between the scare in London over the last couple of days and the car driven into the airport at Glasgow yesterday, you know, obviously we're gearing up— I think obviously it seems like we're gearing up for another round of activism, terrorism, and, you know, we're coming up on the second anniversary of the London bombings, so just wanted to say a word of support to all of our friends over there. So hang in there and see you again soon. Bye.
