Are the old ones just good for scrap metal? Were the new ones made with a minimum of pollution?

A&E, Bravo, whatever... maybe this was NBC? Anyways I'm seeing that on the bottom of the screen, meanwhile they're showing halftime of some football game and the entire set behind the anchors is made of flashing lights.

Forget the concept of "Being Green". Green is the new ad ploy. Concentrated products were one, giving a percentage of profits to a charity is another ploy.<br/><br/>Whatever test marketing will show that consumers will buy the product more. Not selling enough of the product, change the formula... and then after enough outrage, bring the original back to increased sales (hello Coke).<br/><br/>This comment is electronic to save the environment.

More plastic forks, knives and bottles for me to use!<br/><br/>The whole "green" thing is a crock. Just another industry set up to take your money. Sweet!
