Artificial Green

I think I have had too much of this superficial world at times.

The latest antique that I couldn't resist having a dig at is this "Wearing Green Campaign".

So we are supposed to wear green for two days and in doing so, campaigning for the climate change crisis.

Erm.. how exactly do you do that?

I can understand that it is going to be cool to see this sea of green tshirts on the street. And I have no issue with that.

But the earth? The earth gains nothing from this campaign.
Well.. if everyone who commit to wear green this weekend will also
1. change all his house's bulbs to energy efficient bulbs.
2. change his electric appliances to energy efficient ones.
3. reduce his use of air-con by 50%
4. take public transport 5 days a week, whether he has his own car or not.
5. live a 'green lifestyle' in general..

Then yeah.. it works, it helps.

So just.. stop.. telling everyone that we contribute to the better earth by wearing green for two days. That by doing this, we are making the statement that we care.
We do not and we are not.
