More Than The Color of Money
In fact, green is a lot more than that. It's become a movement all its own, of ever-spreading proportion, as everyone and their mother is embarking on efforts to "go green."
Case in point: I even heard today on NPR, where they were discussing the launch of some new Discovery cable network that's totally green-focused but with a Hollywood angle (i.e., rapper Ludacris in some reality show about going green?), that Hummer, gas-guzzling monstrosities that they were, will be advertising there because the company has "green messages" even though it's not so perfectly green itself. Interesting.
But anyway, my whole point here is actually to give props to a group of Torrance teens, homebase: South High, who are making a local push to eradicate plastic and paper shopping bags by encouraging folks to use reusable totes.
Their campaign, Totes4Torrance, is the brainchild of students in South's environmental science program, which is working on a variety of projects aimed at aiding the community in some way.
I don't yet know how this particular project will unfold, but the students say they will soon hold a rally at the South campus to bolster their visibility.
Good luck! And FYI, I'm already a convert to the reusable-bag thing. Totally into it.
