Hey Scuppie!
The 80’s Yuppie is so….1980’s.
570’s Katie Simpson had this story in our 570 Morning News run today: Meet the Scuppie.
(That would be the Socially Concious Upwardly-mobile person.)
A scuppie is a new breed of consumer, someone
who is financial comfortable.. and environmentally aware.
Sound familiar?
A scuppie is someone who will “go green” if given the choice.
They won’t ditch the SUV, but will choose organic foods and enviro- friendly cleaning products.
(I gotta say, some of those new “green” detergents do not get grass stains out of a five-year-old’s jeans. I ‘ve returned to the powerful, death-defying, big jugged cleaning stuff popular even two years ago!)
Our family is trying to make better choices, whether it be food purchases, getting recycled paper for the computer..even searching out greener clothing.
I will miss the 80’s power suit complete with huge shoulder pads .
Those things are biodegradable….. right?
