Entry #13

Sustainable consumerism is when using goods and services to minimalize the use of resources, waste and pollutants while still not jeopardizing future generations. Globalization and capitalism are negative drivers because everything has to travel farther and use more energy to get to its destination. Greenwashing is the term for when a company’s marketing team mis markets an item as green, when it really isn’t. I would be willing to pay a premium if I felt that particular item would be substantially better for me. I patronize the chain stores in Gulf Coast Town Center, downtown is 30 minutes away from my house. Not worth it. Either way it doesn’t really matter, I waste gas to drive and get it, or it can waste fuel to be flown around the world.
