Earth Day is today. I know this because
Google's logo has been decked out in
leafy greens, because Whole Foods, not content to celebrate a mere
day, is celebrating Earth Month in both its stores and on its
website, and because, in the last few hours, I've received emails
from both Best Buy and Crate and Barrel advertising Earth
Day-related specials. On one hand, kudos to America's
mid-level luxury brands for their ability to fold absolutely
anything into their advertising message. On the other hand, I
continue to be amused by the way environmentalism, in mass
practice, tends to express itself primarily through retail
consumption.
