Green vs. Real Green

I'm tired of "green" companies selling all kinds of green products and services, but refusing to stand up for the thing that will really make a difference - mandatory carbon reduction legislation.
I've often heard some green companies proclaim they are not "against" coal, etc., merely "for" wind and solar. That is bunk!

Clean Currents is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with colleagues in the environmental, faith, labor and business community fighting for legislation to dramatically cut greenhouse gases.
We have testified on numerous bills to support the environment.
We are not going to solve global warming by voluntary green purchase alone. They are important. But to really solve the problem, we need to pass comprehensive legislation.

So, the next time a company tells you they are "green" or they want you to buy their green product, ask them what they are doing to help pass environmental legislation at the state or national level. If the answer is "nothing," than go elsewhere.
