Call me a latte drinking, bra burning liberal, but I have a casual interest in preserving the environment. That is, I recycle, conserve, and buy organic as much as my lazy, selfish tendencies allow. But when I see these stunts that companies pull to look environmentally friendly (like buying carbon offsets) with the sole purpose of looking attractive to customers, I get a little peeved.
Especially when I see something like this at my local grocery store:
Yes, those are apples, and yes, EACH APPLE is labeled with a sticker that says “organic.” Stickers, incidentally, are made of paper. Does the fact that those apples were not grown with earth-harming pesticides make up for all that paper that was wasted in trying to sell those apples to customers? Oy.

Agreed Tracy – I hate these stickers on fruit!
I can’t stand fruit and veg in plastic packaging either – such a waste.
You latte-drinking, bra-burning liberal!
