Where in the World is the Green in That?

I love the fact that “Going Green” is all the rage. The bandwagon is huge - room enough for everyone! The more the merrier, I say. I love that businesses, companies (small and large, including the one that employs me) are all clamoring to say, “hey, look at us! We are green!”
