On today’s episode of “Whaaaa?!?!”, we introduce GREEN; NOT GREEN!

Let’s begin, shall we?

That last one may come as a surprise to some of you. After all, do a search on “organic bamboo clothing” and you only get a bazillion results from websites touting their “all natural” products. Before you shell out fifty bucks for that so-called eco-friendly pair of bamboo tube socks, learn the truth about bamboo at Veggie Revolution. And I quote:

” . . . rendering bamboo from a plant to a yarn is a chemical process, the same process for conventional rayon. It’s highly polluting, involving hydrogen disulfide emissions. Rayon and bamboo are ‘regenerated cellulose’ fibers and are man-made. Most marketing touts bamboo as a natural fiber. That’s true for bamboo hardwood floors but not for textiles.”

So where can you buy real green/eco-friendly/organic products?

Well, you can buy organic cotton shirts from Green Fly Shop of course, but the owners of our site have recently launched another website, New Terra Living where you can buy all kinds of green stuff, from Dr. Bronner products to yoga skorts.
You can also check out our stuff and lots of other cool deals at www.eConsciousMarket.com . Learn more about them in this great short video.

Leafygreen.info is another good site that gives “Green Product Reviews for a Green World.”

Know of any other green hypocrites? We’d love to hear about them so we can put the worst one up for Maggot of the Month!
P.S. Don’t forget that the deadline to make suggestions to one of the biggest sheisters of them all, TVA, is August 15th. If you haven’t done that yet, get on it!
