Calling things "Green" when it's just about making more money
This week at work, they rolled out a "Drink Green" program, where you can buy a company coffee mug and get it refilled at the cafeteria for a "discounted" rate of $1.69 a cup (It's $1.79 if you buy the paper cup). This new program was supposedly all about saving us money and being more green.
Previously, we could bring our own mugs from home and get a refill for $0.54.
I think this is something that really bugs people--when people come up with some new program to make more money and they try to pass it off as "being green." I think it's a big reason why some people are so "anti-green".
