Is going "green" to become a passing fad?

Question

After 10 years, people slip back into being wasters?

Answer 1

After10 years SOME people slip back....but, more people join the cause,so no, going green is not a passing fad.

Answer 2

They may not slip back into being wasters because if technology changes, we should get permament changes in lifestyle and choices.

But every popular movement tends to be a fad at some level, so yes, the fad aspect will change if only in the sense that people will no longer claim they are "green" to try to make themselves seem superior to others, because everyone will be forced to go green to some extent.

Answer 3

Don't know .Just like everything ells only time will tell for sure . If we keep putting all this crap in the air and in the earth the planet will become inhabitable anyway so the end result wouldn't mean a thing to anyone because there wouldn't be anyone . Should we take that chance?

I think its time for all of us to pull together and stop thinking about whats in our pockets especially the rich and do something to help out mother earth.

I'm not attacking the rich more power to them they just have more to contribute . We are all going to have to change our way of thinking or we mite as well be walking on the sun.

Answer 4

I think it is all a function of external stimuli. Many people have gotten more environmentally conscience due to the rise in energy costs. For many it is due to the increased awareness of the impacts man has on the environment (namely global warming). If these issues are solved, then the current state of being "green" would be a passing fad. If energy costs remain high and more science backs the notion that man is causing global warming, the concept of going "green" will (at least in my opinion) continue to grow.

Answer 5

Yes and no. It's been around a long time under different names and guises. Going "off the power grid" has been attractive to a number of people for a variety of reasons. So I doubt it will ever completely go away.

But if the planet goes into a cooling cycle, which is possible, then the "religious fervor" would die down and might well anyway when all the people with ADD find something else to attract their attention.

Answer 6

international Warming is a extensive subject and maximum truthfully no longer a "fad" Earth will destruct sooner or later yet probable no longer as quickly as 2012 To each and all the uneducated human beings right here that are thus far up their *** they cant see certainty: international WARMING IS right here. i'm no longer able to have self belief which you're all so thick to no longer have the potential to verify the certainty. this is dazzling.

Answer 7

Honestly, I don't even know one person who is living green or buying Eco-friendly homes. Everyone I know uses cleaning chemicals or pesticides. I live in a normal home but am becoming more responsible and actually just started recycling and surprisingly, I have almost more recyclables than garbage. I feel guilty for not recycling sooner but I guess it's better late than never.

Answer 8

Just like any fad, a lot of people will be on top of it in the beginning, but only the people who truly care will stick with it.

Answer 9

We are still a wasteful society. It's not so much a fad as it is politically correct to claim greenness, which is why it's not getting any better.

Answer 10

I don't think so. People also become aware and some good things remain. Taking better care of our resources has become a very real issue.
