Current Events Week 4 Technology

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/business/energy-environment/17power.html?ref=technology


Do you think paying the extra money to “go green” is worth it? Would you still pay if you knew that most of your fee wasn’t going into the actual resources? If only 2% of the population are interested in this new technology is it worth it? Will it ever catch on to more of the population? Or will more people continue to pay cheaper prices even though it is slowly destroying the environment?

  1. I think we should pay extra money to go green because, it’s worth in trying to preserve our planet for the future. I would not pay if the money was not going towards the resources because I feel if it’s a waste of money to pay for something that is not going towards the resources. I think even if 2% of the population would be interested in doing it, we should do it anyways because I think it would catch onto the rest of the population.

  2. i dont think its worth it, most of the time the products do even work. some of the population uses "going green" things, but i dont think must people know enough about them. if you really look at it almost everything we use destroys the earth, we can't save it. so buying more expensive things just to help the enviorment isn't going to work.

  3. Going "GREEN" will never catch on in this country. Tyota is selling good vehicles and There cheaper than everyone else and they get great gas milige. Why would people want to pay a arm and a leg for a GREEN car when they could buy a toyote thats cheap and good on gas. I dont think GREEN will ever catch on.

  4. Anything is worth helping or planet become less polluted and keep its natural beauty. even if only 2% is interested now it will grow as the isssue becomes more severe and then it will be too late. It shouldnt be a discussion to do the right thing for our planet.
