With the question, they found a way to split the NO vote.

Not a lot of response yet, but it appears to be mostly us anti-green types responding so far:

No, I believe “Green” products are a waste of time, money and energy. (7) 33.3%
No, “Green” products have no impact on my buying decision. (4) 19%
To: Kozak
Dittoes. And especially if it's not for a product so much as a service...I can't recall the name of the company, but they sent us a flyer/circular proudly going into excruciating detail (like a page and a half!) about how all their financial decisions were made with a view to limiting their company's "carbon footprint". I said,that means either this company is run by gullible idiots, OR they think *I'M* a gullible idiot, so therefore I will not use this company for all our____ needs and the flyer went into the trash. This was in 2007 IIRC.

Kiss of death in this house is anything with "Go Green" as its marketing theme.
Same with "Save a tree, get your statement paperless" "This product is made from recycled materials" and any other "Save the Fragile Earth" crapola.
And the only thing that goes into my recycle bin is wine bottles and the Sunday paper.

Price, preferences and quality are what matters. “Green” is a marketing and political scam and nothing more. The primary example of that is the curly lightbulb that requires special handling for disposal. We all know where 99.9% of these go when they burn out...unintended consequences of “green” thinking.
