                 I have learned a lot about popular culture through analyzing going green and eco-friendly movements.  I feel as is myth, celebrities and formula are the theories that I relate to this subject.  These theories describe a few different segments that may help this movement become a bigger part of popular culture.

                Myths come into play because there are so many different opinions on the subject.  A lot of myths are about the environment and how we are using up resources which can’t be found after they are gone, such as, fossil fuels.  Some think that being sustainable is just another marketing gimmick to sell items.  In some cases, this could be true considering recyclable items are labeled eco-friendly to reach a certain market and the items do not contain organic or recyclable material.

                Celebrities are usually a way to get the word out about popular items or trends.  Not as many celebrities have endorsed the going green movement but there have been a few to start the process.  Having a high profile celebrity is very important in today’s popular culture to spread the word and get people on board.  These people have a platform that sets the stage for average people to gather information or become an important part of saving Mother Earth.

                Having a formula is important in many things we do in life including on the national level.  Formulating a strategy for the going green movement is vital for longevity and making this a national cause.  Formulating the niche in eco-friendly culture gives a jump start to a process that is emerging into society on all levels.  Formulas give a guide of how to go about and stepping stones for ways to be successful in completing the formula till completion

                Learning about all the formulas, how they fit into popular culture and my subject of choice has been eye opening.  All of the formulas shed light on the purpose of going green; the three I picked was most interesting to me.  I will think of these theories as I watch popular culture throughout my last classes and my life experiences.
