ok now people. i was just looking at treehugger.com and checking out their 'buying green' section. these are items they tout as hand-picked, best of the green bunch. desks, computers, chairs, shoes, jeans, etc. i'll give you a couple highlights - the desks (simple desktop with legs, no drawers, no nothin') were $500 and up. the jeans? $120-$160. people! you don't have to try SO HARD and spend SO much money to be 'green' - go to a thrift store and buy a pair of $10 jeans, go to the junk yard and get an old door and some pipes and make a desk for about $20. it just seems like such a sham to me. i understand having to pay a little more for recycled products, because is costs more to make them - especially plastic. what i don't understand is why a pair of jeans has to be almost $200 because they are made from organic cotton.
what is this world coming to?
