From the page: "Greensumerism" is trying to fool us into believing we can save the planet by upping our consumption, rather than trying to reduce it. It also tries to salve our conscience - inviting us to buy carbon credits, instead of changing our behaviour; or telling us we can feel OK about being profligate with power, as long as it's green.
The greenest decision of all usually involves buying nothing at all. It involves hanging onto an old car for a few more years; making do with an old briefcase; eschewing that second or third luxurious holiday house." so true! we can't BUY ourselves out of trouble. "
