Green Moms Carnival is Up: Green Moms Spill Their Eco-Secrets
Head on over to visit Jenn Savedge’s site, The Green Parent, where you can read all about the “Eco-Secrets” of the Green Moms of the Green Moms Carnival.
While I don’t normally laugh at behavior that’s not mindful of the environment, I know these women – and I know that they live their lives with tremendous concern for the environment. Still, none of us are perfect. (Although I do think Beth of Fake Plastic Fish and Diane of Big Green Purse come awfully close to perfection). Let’s face it, it’s human nature to want to know the “real scoop” and what goes on behind closed doors (or on vacation, in my case!)
As I read these posts, my initial reaction was to howl with laughter and self-recognition. But then these profound words from this OrganicMania interview with Seth Goldman, Tea-EO of Honest Tea, came back to me:
“Still, it’s a challenge. We live in a consumer society. The definition of a consumer is to destroy, and the definition of sustainability is the exact opposite. How do you live a sustainable life in a consumer society? You’re setting yourself up for a contradiction.”
He’s so right, isn’t he?
