Going green

It seems that everyone seems to be jumping on the Go Green bandwagon. I have been watching HGTV this evening and they keep having shows about having an eco-friendly house. Also, Wal-Mart is having a lot of commercials about buying green. Even my dorm newsletter is filled with suggestions about helping the planet. These newsletters are posted all over the bathroom walls with top ten ways to go green.

Number seven on the top ten go green list was buy local food.

This seems like such an obvious solution that more people should consider. The cut down on gas used to transport the food across the country would be an enormous change.

But my point is... Why does everyone seem so obsessed about "Going Green" but not many people seem to be in on it?
