Whoever says the lines "How I know? I'm innocent okay?" In normal people speak, it translates along the lines of "I don't know" or "Damnit. I'm stupid".
2. Alternateness is Normality
It is now common trend to "Dare to be different". To like the obscure and to object the norms. But alternateness is a trend. We have literature, fashion, music, art, movies etc; that label themselves indie, alternative etc.; these are the same people who coin terms like mainstream. And like trends, there will be a huge following of people. The ones that call themselves individuals, you are not alone.
3. Going green is overrated
If anyone says they are a supporter of the "Green" movement, ask them a few key questions
i. Do you drink bottled water?
The bottle water industry uses up to 1.5mil barrels of crude oil to manufacture their plastic. Enough to fuel a 100,000 cars for a year. The industry also uses vast amounts of fossil fuels to distribute their products. And only 25% of these bottles are recycled the rest are found in oceans, or landfills. Not so green.
ii. Do you eat meat?
Eating meat contributes more to greenhouse gases then they do driving a car. Contaminated runoff from slaughter houses (blood, guts, you know) are a major source of water pollution. Live stock (animals that are not dead, cows mainly) contributes 18% of greenhouse gases just from passing gas, farting, kentut etc. Thats more than all the trains, planes and automobiles put together. Not so green
iii. Do you drive a hybrid car?
Hybrid batteries contain nickel that is mostly mined and smelted in a plant in Ontario, a plant that has contributed so much to acid rain and air pollution that NASA uses the so called 'Dead Zone' to test their moon rovers. The nickel then has to be shipped off in large containers to a refinery in Europe, then to China to be made into 'nickel foam', then to Japan to manufacture, then into the car, then the car is shipped off into your hands. Combine all the energy needed to build and drive a hybrid, it's actually 50% more than to build and drive, well, this:
iv. But hybrids save on fuel.Money maybe, because of this, more people are now more likely to drive, they may even consume more fuel than normal cars
Not so green.
4. Just ate a sunny-side-up-sandwich
It was yummy.
5. To those who need to go pee
Waterfalls, leaking faucet, running water.
6. Yes
I ran out of steam.

ohh jits. nobody's going to stop using plastic water bottles or start driving hybrid cars. how readily available are hybrid cars in our country, anyway? and we depend too much on plastic bottles because water on the go doesn't come in any other type of container.
going green doesn't have to be extreme. it starts with the small things, like not wasting water or paper or electricity and cutting down our usage of plastic bags. effort is still effort in the end.
yes it may seem a little over-rated, as i'm sure ade yg join just because it's cool, but it's not complete bullshit.
give it a shot. :)
