WTF  some of my favorite shows are on there... Holmes on Holmes, New Yankee Workshop, This Old House, etc etc. Those damn shows better still play on there or I'll be pissed... damn treehuggers |

Oh whoops. I thought they just renamed the station, ala OLN becoming VS.
Looks like they're completely revamping the channel. Fuck that shit -------------------- |

well i'm not really certain what the programming will be, but I've never seen Norm Abram or Mike Holmes's shows fit in w/the "green" theme. "This Old House" had a couple of greenie episodes but that's not their main theme.

i don't mind efficiency. but i don't need a show taken off the air which promotes efficiency in a huge way, then replaced by a show with some treehugger hippies telling me i should go buy a $25 aluminum water bottle (with a plastic liner) because the regular plastic bottle the water comes in could contaminate the water inside.
being green is fine, but |

I'm just regurgitating what I saw on the 5 minutes of disgustingness that I watched that replaced the GOOD shows and GOOD channel that was Discovery Home.
A woman on there who ran an "eco friendly" shop was telling the hosts of the show, that you should buy the aluminum bottle she was selling because a standard bottle (dasani, aquafina, whatever) releases toxins into the water. She did not say anything of landfills or that you should recycle the plastic bottles. Recycling/re-using old plastic bottles: Great, fine, good deal Having some old hippie bitch spit out some complete bullshit to try to get me to buy her overpriced "eco friendly" goods: Not cool |

There is some concern that the leftover bottles from Dasani, Aquafina, etc. can leech chemicals into the water when you reuse the bottles, but there isn't really any hard evidence. I use a rubbermaid bottle at work and reuse a Dasani bottle for my workouts. I figure as long as I don't let the bottle melt out in the car and change it out every so often, it's probably fine.

whats hard to understand about getting a metal water bottle/thermos over a plastic one? i have one for under 10 bucks. it can be due to being overpriced
its pretty ridiculous to hate something so much, like "going green" and "environmentalism" because some retard out there labeled it as being only for hippies. i think thats why most people seem to slow to grasp onto some of the more simple ideas behind the "green movement" - silly catchphrase -------------------- Little monkeys making money

metal bottles are typically heavier than plastic bottles and cost more to produce. I haven't heard about plastics used for dasani leaching chemicals into the water. The plastic used to make those bottles are #1 plastics, or PETE, which is/can be recycled (melted and re-extruded). I think what the person is talking about are the nalgene bottles, made of HDPE, which there have been "recent" studies showing release of toxic chemicals into water.
But on the whole, sometimes I don't get some of the going green shows. I watched Oprah's "green" show once and I thought a lot of it sounds like total bullshit. The average consumer is not going to be able to figure out what is actually "green" and what is not. It needs to be done through laws and government regulations. -------------------- I go to the maize and blue
