Some consumers dropping shopping

Give up worldly goods and help save the Earth. Oh, and save lots of money. As the economy worsens, one group of Americans is turning to an Earth-friendly way of life as a hardline strategy for saving.

I'm just sitting back watching. My favorites are the businesses who boast, "we'll just pass the increases on to the consumers". Soon they will be sitting wondering why no one patronizes them any longer. People have no choice ultimately but deciding what they will and will not spend on. That's the bottom line.

I enjoyed reading this article with all my lights on, while drinking Starbucks, my AC is running in all rooms, while I just used aerosol deodorant & aerosol hairspray, grooving to my iPod, wearing real leather shoes, not recycling, and thinking about buying a new real fur coat for the winter while my SUV runs in the driveway. I may be killing the earth but I'm going to helll with a smile on my face.

The earth did fine in the eons without us it'll do fine with us. Earth friendly/Saving the earth issues are just political correctness & money makers. Enjoy life, play your iPod & drink your cappuccino.
