It’s a comment on our speaks-with-forked-tongue culture that “going green” (in both the eco-friendly and the save-some-green sense) are quite in vogue, yet when an entity like a mall actually takes steps in either direction (in this case both) our snarky, cynical, it’s-all-for-profit-and-thus-for-naught face shows up. It’s the same concept that makes us buy expensive walking shoes, walking programs for our iPods, and drive to tracks to walk for exercise…and then feel pity or derision for the “poor” bloke walking home from the grocery store, thinking it an obvious sign of poverty or mental instability that someone would walk to actually go somewhere. We talk a good game at everything; we truly buy into very little.

Another excellent post , Ms. Dunn…thank you.
