Now there's an overused phrase if I have ever heard one!

Tonight as I was running to the store real fast, I noticed a trend that has started to catch on... to be trendy, if you will. Since I can remember I have always taken a bag with me to make quick runs to the store, as the French call it le fiche. I can't remember why, but my parents and myself always did, it just seemed to make more sense. Now there is a craze of "going green" and buying these chic black and green bags made from hemp that just scream "I love the world!".

Now I am all about "Going Green", just because that is the mindset that's always been given to me. My question to you, fellow MFKers, at what length are you will to go to be green? This isn't a guilt thread, just curious how important it is to some people. Remember, moderation counts. While I don't reuse potato sacks as clothing, or even invest in alternative fuels (hey, I'm a college student!) I do use a faucet filter instead of bottled water, and I always take my own bag to the store, drive a good mileage car, among other things.

What are some easy things you do to go green?
 
drive my duramax everywhere i go
 
Reusable grocery bags, recycle paper, cans and plastic. Buy recycled products where possible.
 
I personaly think that this whole going green thing is bs. Knowbody cares about the environment they just care about their pocket book. I still see none fuel efficient cars and trucks bought everyday. People don't understand that what their doing is wrong.

Where I live, fuel is now 1$ a litre. It was almost 1.40 a litre at one time. Now once again people are using it without a care. I am a strong believer in high fuel prices. I would have it set at like 2.50 a litre, to encourage people to buy smarter. Now I know there are alot of people think I'm crazy but what is more important? If we get a good deal on our fuel habits the environment pays the price. We need the environment to survive, we need to take care of it.

IMO people dont care, heck their are people that don't even believe in global warming. Its time for change.
 
I wear green on St. Patricks Day! :D
 
I am for a green movement, but most people think it's a joke and laugh about it. Like try explaining how CO2 causes global warming, their clueless. Every car show I watch always badmouths hybrids and fuel efficient cars. I hate that, their just making people who are single minded think their right. Comunism gets the job done, if it what we need, then be it.
 
i did away with my 4wd tahoe and got a honda civic. then i got a v6 ranger cause i needed to haul stuff. But on the "green" side, i drive my girlfriends civic 6 days of the week, so my truck only uses about 3 gallons of gas per week
