Eco-Home or Mansion
I have been writing an article that discusses the direct link between income and material consumption (coming soon), and what it is going to take to break that link in a world where a huge number of people are now becoming financially prolific. In a world where the knowledge of our environmental impact is spreading like wildfire, our consumption of it (earth) seems to be going right alongside the salary increases.Â
To give you some contrast, first check out the extravagant lifestyle of one fellow named 50 Cent. (Sorry to pick on you bud, just gotta use yah to paint a picture)Â
Â
Okay, now take a look at a link my friend Devin just sent to me. It’s the opposite. No one is ever 100% wrong (as Ken Wilber would say), as is the case with 50 Cent; it’s just that their worldview may not reflect the latest that science has to offer.
Â
So now tell me which house you’d prefer? And no you can’t park your plug-in at the mansion, nor can you park your Lamborghini at the eco-home!
So your decision will determine whether our earth looks like the first half of this following animation, or the second.Â
Your choice rich kid 
Peace Y’all

It is a shame to see that someone who is mega rich like 50cent doesn’t have an mega eco friendly mansion
With money as no object he should be able to have all the latest in environmentally friendly appliances, solar collection, water tanks and purification etc. I imagine his army of gardeners who tend the grounds of his current mansion could find the time to tend a green roof.
Personally I think he can keep his $80,000 chandelier but he should get it hooked up to renewable energy. (and LED bulbs fitted)

Hey Ryan,
Glad to see you enjoyed that link. I haven’t seen a green Cribs yet, but I’m sure its coming. Maybe they should have David Suzuki on there!
