Sensibly green

I would call it just good stewardship and being frugal, but these days, green is a marketing term too. This Bed and Breakfast, The Artist's Inn and Gallery, in Pennsylvania has an interesting list suitable for most people.

Going green is, in fact, usually poor stewardship and the opposite of being frugal.

Recycling plastic or paper, for example, requires more chemicals and energy than making new products. You keep an object out of a perfectly safe, triple-lined landfill, but you add more carbon to the atmosphere and chemicals to the soil. Recycling aluminum, by the way, is actually efficient.

Reusable grocery bags, too, require more energy and chemicals to make than hundreds of disposable bags.

"Going green" is almost always powered by simplistic, inductive reasoning that actually produces the opposite of the intended results.

There is a long list of what Green activities are bad for the environment, and why, here:
