The green world often takes itself a little too seriously, so some green-oriented humor is always welcome. But this video does point out something I have been blogging about for a while -- the "green backlash."

 

In my post a while back called "The Virtue Purchase: Can a Prius get you into Heaven?" I warned about the dangers of a movement focused on commercializing "green."  

 

Yes, organic cotton, hybrid cars, and fair trade chocolate are all good and important contributions to the movement as a whole. But focusing on the notion of "shopping our way" out of a massive environmental crisis does at some point become, well, just plain comical.
