Going Green
Hi AUC students!
I have a question for you guys. I'm researching the impact of the "green" (environmental) fashion trend across cultures, and I'm wondering if you could help me by telling me a bit about what you have experienced in Cairo. In America, being "green" is currently somewhat of a fashion trend: lots of people wear shirts that promote recycling or "going green," and many celebrities have begun to endorse environmentalism. This has led me to wonder, however, if the trend has to do more with fashion than actual environmental function.
What do you think? What is the "green" trend like in Cairo? Do you feel that it is important to appear environmentally-conscious? If so, does this pressure influence your choices as a consumer? And what is your perspective on the "green" trend in the U.S.?
I would love to read your comments. Thanks for your help!!

here in New Zealand we take green and environmental issues seriously, not just as a trend.

Which reminds me of an historical example. we banned the visits of USA nuclear powered ships and subs because of green environmental issues.

The best thing we can do to save our environment is by going GREEN. I think this really works well for everyone. :)
