A tree now grows in Brooklyn … because of me. That’s right. Watch this little online video to see me plant a tree in Brooklyn, and then try to tell me that I’m not environmentally awesome!
So, yes. I do believe in everyone on the planet being a little more aware of how our culture advocates trashing the planet, and I do believe we need to start changing our eco-behavior. However, it really was a bummer to me when being environmentally-conscious became so trendy, it got its own name—Going Green. And it got its own TV channel (of which I’m a part. Sigh.)
I hate trends so much, it almost was enough for me to start embracing planet-trashing again! Alas, I think this is the first case I’ve ever seen where a trend is doing our culture some good. The only way the entire planet is going to change its ways is if it’s under the spell of a trend, because the majority of people are followers, not leaders. So.
There you have it: a trend, used for the good. Still not sure how to feel about it … thoughts?
