Am I the only one more surprised that that much ink would only fuel one flight that doesn’t even circle the globe once? I was expecting to see something like “it would fuel a space shuttle from here to Mars three times!” But no. Just one flight that’s probably less miles than I’ve traveled by air in the last year or two. That’s depressing to me. Time to stop flying, I guess. Or start praying that those stats are grossly miscalculated.
This week my coworkers and I had a conversation about our stance on global warming, the “green” initiative and environmental sustainability as it relates to our habits and mindsets.
And tonight I watched the documentary The Corporation, which makes out the corporation entity to be a psychopathic legal “person” with no morals, beliefs or motives other than greed.
Thanks to both influences, right now the biggest question on my mind is: Is it possible that the new environmental mindset — where sustainability, recycling, reuse, etc. are very highly regarded and at the forefront of our minds — might be partially to blame for this economic recession?
I have no evidence, no proof, nothing to found that idea other than the knowledge that creating sustainable materials and taking on the mindset that everything should be reusable means less jobs creating the disposable stuff our society no longer wants.
