What do you guys think about green businesses?

When I see a place advertised as "green" I avoid it because it's clearly run by idiots or someone scamming for tax credits and over priced services; they certainly aren't offering me for my money.

I recently had some remodeling done and this one contractor giving me a quote started the conversation that his was a "total green" company from everything they do including the products they use...I knew what was coming, a ridiculously high estimate using inferior over priced materials. I showed him to the door and told him, had he told me over the phone he was playing the green crowd, I would have saved both of us the time by telling him I'm not interested. He actually told me could a do a "non green" job much cheaper and offered me a new estimated I told him he had already wasted too much of my time....goodbye.

Ma'am, the vegetables from our petroleum based farm are totally "organic" and "green" before we load them on a diesel powered truck and ship them 1500 miles to your local megamarket.

"Green."

:lol:

A green business just means it operates responsibly and cares for their surroundings and safer products. They actually charge less because they've cut their energy costs and pass the savings onto their customers. If it's not a green business the only way I'll give them my money is if there aren't any green companies in the area that can provide what I'm looking for. If it's a certified green company you know your getting a great product and giving your business to someone who cares about people.

A legitimate green business will always be certified and display the green business seal. But even the certified businesses will use it to take advantage of the customer.

Green is another corporate marketing ploy to get people to buy shit. And a topic for Limpdick when he has no other content for his radio show...

True.

Banks and fund outfits urge their customers to "go green" by giving up paper statements and just using their web sites.

Then the site is down for some reason and ya have nothing.

Or you print out the statement and the planet has an equal amount of paper used up.
