Lewis Perkins Mar 26, 2010 3:11 AM GMT Sadly Strategery, Government does not regulate the worst of environmental and health issues. We are all living and breathing in a toxic soup of chemicals daily that our FDA and EPA have let through the system. CFL's and recycling are a small drop in the bucket, you are correct. And not all of the technology is perfect. Now is the time for more and improved innovation. But it is a start and begins a MAJOR cultural shift of health, wellness, sustainability, renewable energy, slow money and INTEGRITY in our corporate leadership. The cynics are powerful and important because they remind us of what we are moving against. Get interested in driving corporate change and conscious capitalism. The old way is over. Watch the world get recreated and ask a 9 year old what we should do. This is NOT going away. Is it not a trend. it is not a PR or marketing flavor of the week. This is evolution.

Strategery Feb 9, 2010 6:18 AM GMT The government already regulates the worst of the environmental and health issues. The current "green" efforts for both individuals and business, is nothing more than "feel good" marketing or showing off. Do you really think using compact florescent lights, which have their own environmental issues, will really make a difference? What about reusable bags or recycling? These are small efforts that don't make a dent compared to how much the average American consumes in both energy and other resources.

Mike Feb 3, 2010 6:01 PM GMT In the US we have the great displeasure of watching bipartisan bickering slow even the most obviously positive initiatives. While I agree that everyoneâ??including our biggest retailersâ??could be doing more, let's not lose sight of one point: It is actually becoming more profitable for them to see things through a green lens and consequently, good things are happening. So yes, let's all push companies to keep it real, but let's recognize and reward them when they start taking steps in the right direction.

Jack Thompson Feb 3, 2010 2:14 PM GMT Latest 'green' is small wind turbines that go on the side of your house and produce about 500w of electric power. I replaced the 3 wind turbines to exhaust heat from my attic with these and power about 1/3 of my houses electric needs.www.LakeErieWindTurbine.com
