The green con.

The green life should be a frugal life because it revolves around consuming less of the world. Instead it has become a designer label that one pays a premium for.


We must learn to recognize the green con.

The first photograph is a public library in Birmingham that has received a number of awards. The second is a canal in Oxford.

Whenever we come across a green product, a green policy or a green service we are meeting one of three things.

Marketing scam that charges a premium for virtue signally purposes.

Or..

A socialist power grab. Some elite thinks they know better than you what you should buy and they shame or regulate you into doing the right thing.

Or..

Something of real benefit to the world. This final possibility should cost us less.
