As I am working on this paper, delving into the serious issued of why disposability of products is a way of life for Americans, it hits me that the environmental movement of being Green is just as popular. It makes me wonder, how is it that everyone is so obsessed with being green, when statistic of consumption show otherwise. After sifting through a few articles and websites, I come across this global warming campaign that discusses ways to save energy and be more green.

It takes a lot of work to be more green! and this is just the job of one person. How are we supposed to get an entire nation to do this?!
One of the suggestions was to buy used furniture. Who the heck wants to buy used furniture? I mean, i'll buy a used car if I have to because my wallet looks a little sparse, or even taking a hand me down bed from my brother when he moved out to California, but to go out and buy something like a used couch from a stranger...it doesn't really make much sense, and frankly is kind of disgusting.
Obviously these suggestions are not all very practical. They go directly against what most people desire with their accessories: To have the brand spankin new ones before anyone else can get their hand on them.
