"Wow, I didn't realize why there needed to actually be green initiatives until I read some of the comments here.."
No what you're reading is cynicism based on the witnessing of a lot of idiotic policies that waste more time and energy than they save under the guise of being green. People want to help the planet, but when you do the research and find out that recycling has almost no net benefit and can actually be more harmful than just landfilling (unless we are talking about aluminum) then people start to think these are just initiatives for the sake of saying you're doing something, not because you actually care to do something effective.

"Not that I care about 'saving the planet' or any other such absurd BS".... wow, nice to see you don't have kids, and don't care about the kids of any of your friends either. Some of it is definitely over the top, but a lot of it is just enlightened self-interest. I guess the emphasis there has to be on "enlightened"...
This is true. There's just too much unnecessary packaging these days. Sometimes there's a lot more packaging than product itself. Not that I care about "saving the planet" or any other such absurd BS, but this over-packaging is really as unnecessary as it would be fifth leg for the dog.
