Top 10 excuses for not going green
For every person who adjusts their lifestyle to help the planet, there's one more who always seems to have an excuse about why they won't. We all know someone like this -- our sibling, our Aunt Mabel, the dude down the street who's obsessed with his lawn. And they all have well-honed, perfectly reasonable excuses (so they say) as to why they avoid greening their lifestyles.
We've gathered together the ten most commonly used excuses people give as to why they won't change their ways and go green, and then provide sound, reasoned arguments to refute each one (with a little humor and mocking thrown in for good measure). We also provide suggestions as to how to get started. One hint no matter who you are: Visit the Make Me Sustainable site. It'll not only tell you your current carbon footprint, but will tailor a 'go green' program for you based on your specific characteristics.
Sure, there will always be skeptics, but perhaps our arguments will convince a few people to give up the excuses they cling to, and make (however tiny) a move toward greener living.
