The nice thing is that, the more people care about this stuff (and show that by voting with their dollars) the more companies will offer alternatives and the larger the whole "green" economy will grow.
Living in CA, I see it happening all around me, slowly but surely. Kohl's tells me how much of the store's power comes from solar panels. I'm starting to see sod roofs on commercial buildings. And of course around here you can't toss a ball of (recycled) paper without it bouncing off of 2-3 Priuses.
At work, they got rid of all the paper & plastic eating-ware and invested in real plates and flatware for all our locations and are installing solar panels on the roof.
I think these are all very positive things, and if it takes me an extra minute at the end of my lunch break to wash a plate rather than just toss one in the trash, I'm totally OK with that. Makes me feel a little less guilty for driving around a car that burns dinosaurs. But you know what....my next car will almost certainly be 100% electric. By then the technology will have caught up with what I need in a car. And that's happening because of people buying all those Priuses and Leafs today and wanting MORE from their electric cars.
