How can a TV commercial be eco-friendly ? You are probably watching it on a TV that uses lead free solder because they know their piece of garbage is going to the landfill in an average of two years. Your car is mostly plastic which means it can't even be melted down and made into something useful. Your house might use the steel studs with Chinese drywall which means the styrofoam will be showing soon and that two hundred grand is simply gone. The monitor you are looking at right now, if it breaks it has a 40% chance of being fixable approximately. Your cellphone, ipod and PC basically melt down to damn near nothing.
I have a case of energy saver flourescent tubes in the basement, eco-friendly types. The only problem with them is that they burn out all the time. When I was younger we used those lights because they were efficient and lasted so long. Years in fact. Now you can barely get six months out of one. Was going to 32 watts from 40 watts really worth all it takes to make four times as many bulbs ? Yes, it is to those who make the bulbs, sales are booming.
People just have no idea how wrong things are going. Blissfully unaware they just consume. Those who provide the consumables get rich of course. And we pay, not in one way or another, but in both ways. A factory makes so much pollution. They send the factory to China. What did they think that is another planet or something ? They are in the same ecosphere, the only difference is that the fat cats get more money because of lower wages and we are shipping shit all over the world. How in the heck does that make any sense. They have already destroyed us with these policies and we remain blissful (well not me).
Anything they do is screwed up. Electric cars GREAT ! right ? But nobody thinks of the end of the product life cycle, even amidst planned obsolescence and junk built to be disposable. Do you have any idea how nasty the stuff coming out of those batteries will be ? We are not talking about a little bit of smoke here we are talking making alot of land un farmable for at least a few decades. People better stop fucking or we are going to run ot of food.
And the money factor never goes away. They make bio-fuels and the price of corn goes up. It's plain to see that they do nothing for us, they do it all for themselves. But people are like puppy dogs who need a friend.
WARNING, I can get about eight times stronger than that if challenged.
