Re: The Env. Corner. Examples of waste that you saw today. And that you prevented
Calm down now buddy. I’ve been coming back to this thread and again and again. Where do you run off to?
IMO, and this is probably my own conspiracy-tin-foil-hat-theory, but the whole “it’s up to you to save the environment” is a ploy by the big coorporations/governments etc to get the responsibility of actually doing something off their shoulders and lay the blame game on the single individual. Then they have an excuse to say “yeah well, we can’t do much, our people/customers aren’t into the environment so why should we invest in protocols to reduce our emission/save the dolphins and the oceans”. Don’t mean to sound like Kevin O’Leary, but the name of the game is money. People do things because of money. And with money is attached prestige/show off-ing. People recycle because the garbage tags cost money, but recycle bins, no matter how many are free. People save water because water bills are through the roof. People do laundry in the middle of the night because you get charged less to do heavy duty things at night. People buy organic/pesticide/GMO free because they get to show people how “unique” and how “thoughtful” they are. It’s probably a handful of individuals now that do something to protect the environment. I was a visionary like you as well once. Not too long ago. But I grew up, and saw what motivates people. And it’s not the pretty butterfly that comes in their backyard. It’s the money that they get to put in their own pockets. Be it the individuals, or the giant corporation.
And I hold true to my earlier statement about multiposting. In real life, outside of computers and keyboards, two people can not have a conversation when it’s just 1 person talking constantly for half an hour. It’s a bit of a turn off really.
Thank you for your advice. There is a thread in Science and Nature where OP question if Global Warming is real. And if the “hysteria” is called for. And yes. There was interaction. With people saying maybe etc. So interaction means notn. Facts matter
One request, could you kindly visit our other threads? The bill Moyer thread in World Affairs needs a kick start. Bring ur knives and forks.
Cheers!
