Greensburg Going Green - Pretty cool story

I've been following this story for a while since the Discovery Channel Network's Planet Green has been doing a year long documentary about this town's story.
It's a compelling story and I admire the town's citizens and leadership in looking at rebuilding in a different way. It's unfortunate that it took such a devastating event for people to take a fundamental look at the way they live and to do something new. Big kudos from me to Geensburg.
Still, I'm a little wary of the "green" label on stuff. Sometimes, like "organic" labels, it's just an excuse to charge people more money for things that are questionably better.

Disco still sucks.
Oh, I so agree.
That is something we all need to be vigilantly cognizant of. One big misconception is that "organically" grown food is always better than plain old farmed food. Not so. Just an expensive buzzword most of the time. You plant things in the ground, they grow. It is organic.
My favorite one these days are the "green" bullets. I'm not kidding. Bullets are made of lead and causing contamination at firing ranges so they say. Ooh righty then.
