money can be exchanged for goods and services

And do the people to whom you give your money turn around and give it to corporations to buy these scrubbers of which you speak? betcha not.

Not only that, the devil is in the definitions. Do they include everything? Such as the gas people used to get to the concert, the power and pollution caused to advertize it? The trash it generated? I wonder...

I look at it this way. I'm kind of green but my thinking behind it and probably behind a lot of greenies is to push hard for research and alternatives.
Every time this comes up the choir begins about how shallow thinking people thinks that to be green you have to drive a horse and buggy. Its not about switching off every light when not in use it's about finding a different way.
