This is SO true! Wow. And true of words like "green" "eco" and more. These words are nebulous, vague and used as a marketing tool without much meaning. We have "green-washing" all around us these days, don't we?

One thing I continue struggle with is what words to use to describe the Eco Events calendar I keep. That's why the website is www.jocelynsevents.com, because so many of the words are so played out that nothing seemed genuine enough.
In practical terms, I live in a condo, which has a low footprint in some ways, and I take as many measures as I can to buy only sustainably grown food, grow food on my patio, use a worm bin, line dry my clothes, reuse or re-purpose what I can, and more. Plus, I've even been attempting to lead some changes for more sustainable practices with my condo association, which is 203 households. This could take some time and a LOT of diligence though the net effect would be huge.
