Default This whole goody goody environmentalist shit.

I dont know what it is like in the US but over here there seems to be some kind of clandestine save the planet thing going on. I like the planet, every day i take some sort of pleasure from it. But this environmental bandwagon has started to piss me off.

im looking at this plastic bag i have in front of me, in case you didnt know, every time you go into a supermarket in England and ask for a carrier bag, you either have to pay an extortionate price for it or get evilled by everyone in the shop like you just forced a bukkake party on their 4 year old daughter. This bag says (in big fuck off letters) I CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

What kind of shit is this, am i the only one that can see through this exploitation of the ignorant trend followers? this is a follow on from those stupid fucking charity bracelets, where businesses are taking advantage of people by looking to make a quick profit off of the environment.
The only reason these companies are doing this is for public relations and economic gain!

all well and good, save the planet (allegedley) and make a bit of money on the side. I just wish people would see this as it is.

Saving the planet..... How economically convenient

I can only imagine it is actually worse in the states as you get people like paris hilton imploring you to think of the cute baby seals while she cavorts around on a jet ski.

wow.... /rant

It's not that bad in the U.S.

As a matter of fact if you live in Utah, you can throw out your dead wife and it's unlikely anyone will care.

Oh I guess the dead wife's parents but you know that's expected.

Just wait until the super companies take over everything and integrate us into their bio-economical future saving matrix. Think how much we'll be saving the earth when we are used to power their stores. We save the world, they save the pennies, everyones happy. "Donate your children and get 10% off"

i heard something about a grocery store in halifax thats stopped giving out plastic bags altogther, making the customers use the reusable ones.

they are good small steps but the planet is fucked anyway. the stuff you put in the bags is the bigger problem, when you buy stuff shipped around to different continents theres is more energy and waste created than whats in those little bags. in the comming years it wont be feasible anyway. you chicken eating fucks will have to grow your own chickens in you backyard, and then you'll have to protect them, from your neighbors with guns. you will see more of that pickton shit of feeding humans to animals. its going to be basicly lawless.

i live on a street that is pretty much all bars. possibly the most densely bar populated area per squarefoot in the world. the cops are all over this area now. the street is getting filled with horse shit from the cops horses. noone is policing the police, they arent getting fines. theres big piles of shit outside. meanwhile i can no longer walk and nothing is being done about it.

thats why i get fucked up, i dont want to see this shit storm thats comming. its already started.. i cant move from the floor, ive been reading this shitty messageboard for days. fuck it, im going to get drunk

if you want help the environment start killing nonvegetarians...i used to be a vegan for 4 years or so, so i am basicly holy and am excusable for the declining state of the planet.

It is exploitative and trend-baiting. But I'd rather have exploitation to help the environment rather than something like making people want the biggest SUV. The ends justify the means in this case and I have no problem with it.

there are some pretty big venture funds being raised for 'green' technology. it's no secret there's loads of money to be made from it. al gore joined kleiner perkins last november and they raised a $400mm green fund for example

I have cloth grocery bags too, but I always forget to take them out of my trunk and into the store when I use them.

Except at Whole Foods, when I go to the one near work they have a sign that reminds you as you're coming in.

Today at work I noticed someone had a paper pinned up in their cube for the "Green Tip of the Month." The sheet encouraged you to print out each month's green tip. I had a private laugh at that one.

Funnily enough you don't have to do any of it, and can still live a good, full life. I mean why be paranoid about the environment? We don't need it anymore, I say more concrete paths and less of that horrible green stuff. Seriously it's revolting.

There are bigger fish to fry, like 6 billion of them. Don't waste your time on these petty concerns, you're just a different kind of fodder.

there's a market here in SD that tried to charge me 15 cents for each plastic bag or told me i had to buy the cloth ones. i have some cloth ones at home but not with me.

i told them that i wasn't interested in their policy and that if they don't bag my food for free, i'm not paying for any of it

and that is why some minimum wage schmuck spent the next 20 minutes returning all of my food to the shelves
