I'm pretty environmentally conscious and I practice what I preach, but I've said it before and I'll say it again, I've never understood this one.
Perhaps it's good for raising awareness. Maybe slowly through events like this, more and more people will practice better habits the whole year and think about their footprint. But I find there's two type of people and neither of them matter to this event anyway. Those that do practice good habits all year round, and really don't need to do this, and those that don't give a crap and wouldn't anyway.
Oh, and of course a third that says they do, but really don't.
Hopefully events like this will get more people on board, but I seriously doubt it.
