<p>If I hear one more thing about being &#8220;green,&#8221; I am going to shoot myself with a gas powered rifle that is made out of ivory sculpted in  a sweatshop that uses vast amounts of fossil fuels and the employees are underpaid and undervalued. </p>
<p>That was a joke. But I am trying to make a point.</p>
<p>I appreciate the fact that the world is becoming more eco-aware. In fact, I love it. Ever since I moved to the Bay Area, I have been more eco-aware than I have ever been. </p>
<p>But when I am at work and every other press release has to with an eco-friendly sandal or a biodegradable umbrella or a &#8220;green&#8221; this or a &#8220;green&#8221; that &#8211; I want to vomit. It even bubbles over into everyday life. I see all these companies becoming green with the most RIDICULOUS things like an eco-shaped bottle or some bullshit like that.</p>
<p>I know that Earth day is coming up soon and that is why I am getting all these annoying press releases, but c&#8217;mon folks, don&#8217;t use this &#8220;green&#8221; movement&#8221; as a way to sell an overpriced product &#8211; that&#8217;s what half this shit is. </p>
<p>That said, if this flood of green continues there is going to be this backlash that will be equally annoying. I don&#8217;t know what it will be, but it will happen.</p>
<p>The world gets the idea that we need to take care of our planet, but when we get hit over the head with it constantly, on the hour every hour, I start to get enraged like the Hulk &#8211; who is green as well.</p>
<p>Okay. I am done with my rant.</p>
