Extreme Green Will Backfire

Happy Blog Action Day!
Mark my words. Green is good but the extremists and those with a political agenda will turn off more people than any they will inspire to be a bit more green personally if they over dramatize…
“Disclosing Global Warming? WTF?”
WTF? World Trade Federation? Is it a trade issue too? Or does WTF mean “Where’s The Fire?” in a Technorati hot topic sense? Or is “WTF?” the common phrase I really always think of when I see “WTF?”
In Disclosing Global Warming WTF? Jay Thompson, The Phoenix Real Estate guy links to Jennifer in Minneapolis worrying about disclosing global on the coasts. I tried to get in on the conversation on Jennifer’s blog but don’t see my comment there. I must not have made the cut.
Jennifer wrote:
“I was recently reading a post on Active Rain about Global Warming. The author wrote that he believes it is real estate agents duty to disclose to any potential buyers thinking about purchasing coastal property that Global Warming could render their property useless, under water, washed away, etc. He also stated that if an agent does not disclose this possibility, they should be sued, fired, etc.”
You can get to Jennifers Minnesota blog via Jay’s Arizona blog.
The original post Jennifer wrote about was on ActiveRain written by someone selling real estate in a coastal state. California? The entry that said and this is a paraphrase, real estate agents should disclose the possiblity of global warming is only available to ActiveRain members now. The post was public at first from my understanding. I understand a lot of the comments there have been removed too.
A class action suit against (?)
Here’s a post I did on ActiveRain to promote Blog Action Day.
It has nothing to do with how green you are, just with blogging…
As far as blogging I am Purist - Expert - Socialite blogger
I am an animal lover but I am turned off by the drama and antics of some animal rights groups. Extreme green could be just as big a turn off to me.
What kind of a green or not so green blogger are you?
Extreme - Political - Threatening
Crazy - Drama Queen - Sicko
Off the deep end - Scary Thug - Blaming
or
Educating - Expert - Involved
Learning - Thinking - Trying
In “Don’t Throw The Baby Out with The Bath Water -The Green Movement” Jeff Geoghan a real estate agent in Pennsylvania wrote:
“In the media, the “green” movement is oft-painted as a liberal initiative. Who hasn’t heard the “round glasses and birkenstocks” comparison? In the same vein, liberals unfairly paint all conservatives as owning stock in oil companies and dumping chemicals in lakes with a smile. Conservatives need to remember that “conservation” is a part of their heritage - small government, individuals responsible for their community’s health & growth, etc. Liberals need to remember that private enterprise is what has driven every major achievement - not government regulation. There’s just no reason to bring all the other political baggage into this common goal. Ah, if only the “green” party wasn’t so left-leaning! Imagine what a truly moderate green party could do to unite people…OK, I digress. “
Moderation!
I will try to be more “Green” personally.
I will try to learn about green building, remodeling and conservation locally.
I will read Columbus Green Blogger, Green Buckeye.
