A Green Protest?

Recently in Connecticut, a Xmas tree farm was vandalized. The tops were cut out of about 100 spruce trees. Some are saying it is from environmentalist, who are upset that the land will be developed for houses.

I ask what this will do? How will the destruction of the trees benefit anyone or save anything. if the land is be be developed then I would say it is a done deal and this will prevent nothing. And how green friendly is the destruction of trees? Just what will this accomplish?

Stupidity is everywhere, its everywhere.

A Green Week

For the last week, NBC and its affiliates have been doing green programing. They have been putting on programs about the environment, carbon footprinting, etc, etc. IMO, this is a good thing but unfortunately it is not enough. After the week has past, the people will go back to being the carbon hogs they have always been. All the useful info will be forgotten, ignored or whatever they do. A week is not enough to change people's attitudes.

If these people really wanted to help make a difference they would run these types on snig-lets year round. If the education of the people into a better way to approach the environment, a week's worth of info, is not the way. It is a way for the corporations that now own the media to appear to really give a sh*t about the environment.

This is just the typical approach of corporations--appear to care while doing nothing.

Green--Schmeen!

Ok NBC has a whole week of environmental program planned. Green is Universal--catchy title huh? They give the people all kinds to tips on how to lessen their carbon footprint. from the T/stat setting, to recycling to yada, yada. It is all about what you can do to help the planet. But I have not heard that small more fuel efficient cars should be the order of the day. And I have not heard what companies need to do.

The corporations? yeah, all have a massive green campaign going on. But in reality all they are doing is telling what they may do or to change the slogan or to add green and yellow into their logo. That oughta go a long way it solving the problems.

My point is, the people are the ones that are having to make some small sacrifice, while the companies talk about and continue their profit taking. People should do their part to clean up thye planet, but why does business get a free ride. It is their marketing and their manufacturing that has cause most of the probs. so why are they off the hook?

Just wondering!

NUKES--The Clean Energy

STOP IT! There is nothing about nuke energy that is clean. While some minor case can be made about the emissions thing, but what about the by-product? What is to be done with all the plutonium by-product?

The nuke thing is being pushed by the same people that are bringing you global warming. They are not concerned with the world around them, just the continuation of their profits. For you see wind and solar power cannot bring them the obscene profits they could make on nukes. So, they will sell the ignorant public on the need for nukes as a way of controlling emission and thusly help eliminate the global warming thing.

It was a lie in the past. It is a lie now! Educate yourself! you have the power to stop this insanity, but you have to want to stop it. I fear that the American people are too lazy to act and the nuke people will get their way.

Nuke power is NOT as safe as they will lead you to believe. Get the facts! Then act to protect the environment, after all it has pretty good to you.

UN Climate Change Meeting

HA! HA! HA! What is this all about? All the major polluters will be in this meeting to discuss what needs to be done to help the climate change thing. I will bet that YOU think this is a good thing. NOT!

It is a media coup! It is only being done to try an silence those people who feel that not enough is being done to save the planet. It will play really good around the world, in the media that is, but NOTHING will come of it but an agreement to do their part. All measures will be voluntary and we know how far that goes in the world. We are suppose to believe a country when they say they will do their part when they steadily pollute the rivers of their country, which is their drinking water source. Are you that stupid?

I am sure that some lame amount of years will be offered for progress; kinda like the 5-10 year timetable that is ALWAYS mentioned.

So the truth is, the only thing for certain to come out of this show will be that the environment is still f*cked!
