We're all destroying the earth, and buying an organic handbag ain't gonna help

Last year, trees died so I could learn how to live "green."

Doesn't seem quite right, does it? But anybody with a magazine jones like mine undoubtedly triggered a similar herbicide. That's because Vanity Fair and Dwell and Elle and Shape and Wired have each produced a "green issue" (or three), and now even the local guys, like Java and Phoenix and Desert Living, are joining in. Even though glossy magazines kill an estimated 15 trees per ton of paper, each one is intent on spreading the gospel of just how easy it is to Save the Earth.
Usually, in fact, it boils down to supporting the issue's advertisers: Buy a Prius! Buy an organic cotton T-shirt! Buy vegan nail polish remover! . . .

I'm feeling pretty cynical these days but that's not going to keep me from trying to do my part. I know that those who matter most to me today will be taken care of because of my efforts.
