Get this straight I am not against Green Technology all I am saying is that the green
technology of the present is a mixture for the most part, of profit and myth. I am a
farmer, and wherever I can I use the products that least harm the environment because
it makes sense. I am not organic but I am reduced risk. In other words I use products
that will kill codling moth and bud moth, or aphids but not lady bugs and beneficial
insects. The Green agenda is being run by a movement that is not interested in a balance
of common sense and economic viability, they are interested in enacting their own agenda
based on their own opinions whether they have merit or not. That is the problem the Green
movement has to clean up its act, and start a dialogue of common sense with all parities to
the eventual agenda. To date they seem interested in patting each other on the back.
spouting their own propaganda and calling anyone who disagrees with them names.
Like all families there are people on all sides of this agenda, but why is it that those who center
their lives on Green, say oh your not on our side on this one, like you did. It is not about being
on one side or another, its about how do we solve a problem together, using the best of
methods regardless of who's idea it is. We need to balance social commitment with the
economic realities of our own country and that of the world. We need to give the lip the heart
and the head time to catch up to each other no matter what the view you hold is. Only by
discussing things, making some compromises to get to the next step, and respecting the
views of all, will we make any progress. Usually the steam runs out before the work begins.
In that vein I suggest before everyone with special interests which is everyone, finishes their
posturing and preaching, it will be another century before anything happens. Like religion, the
young people are all green and fuzzy and then they become part of the real world of work and
quickly understand, Green comes with a price, and of course they want a snowmobile like
everyone else. They want a motorcycle, fishing boat, ski boat and and muscle car. The
once devout green minded youth hits 35 or 40 and they are not so green anymore. The problem
is there are people changing age categories every day. Yes there will be a green tomorrow
just over the rainbow but that is a long way off no matter how hard you try to change the vision
in the environmental mirror.
