Re: Are the people who advocate "going green" today just a bunch of bloody hypocrites
That was a pretty foolish and thoughtless assault, Nuggler. You achieved nothing but to show that you gave no consideration to what was said or could not comprehend something quite clear and simple.
"Back in the day," the average carbon footprint was a fraction of what it is now and, as many of the posts have indicated, much of what has replaced some things, are wasteful, energy consuming and unnecessary.
In those times, most people did think in terms of sustainability, and practised it. Built in onsolence, as some have since talked about, would have been anathema.
But no need for more. I don't know what got into you.
read it again, then read it again. it'll sink in sooner or later. And my opinion is as good, probably better, than yours. there you go again talking about back in the day.
"In those times, most people did think in terms of sustainability, and practised it."" Yes yes of course. right this way to the rubber room.
They practiced organic farming until "modern" methods came along. Why? Because that's the only thing they knew. Their methods added to the severity of the dust bowl................note..........ADDED TO.
Towns and cities ran their waste directly to rivers and lakes.
back in the day
right.
All that means is that they become small bits of plastic. They're still bits of plastic.
Hey, I didn't make it up. Rolls of bags are sold as biodegradable. So then they're not plastic? I dunno. What would they be? Maybe the bag producers are lying to us. Can't see a corporation doing that.
I'm in total agreement with the proposition that plastic bags get chopped up and last probably forever, drifting around in the water, or strangling earthworms in a landfill.
Add this to the stuff going to float over from Japan, and the land mass of BC could double................land mess?
