Blog assignment 2 - the story of stuff


My first impression when I saw the clip was: FFS not one of those Al Gore-wannabe vegetarians, who just blame everything on America, and thinks that the only problem is the economic system, which is according to them "forcing" people to buy new stuffs while they themselves spends every last penny on new Greenpeace jackets, and also thinks that if the companies would be more government controlled all environmental problem would be solved.

But after a while I realized that she was not one of those, but rather that she is fairly right in a lot of what she is saying, unlike many other environmental debaters. I must say that I'm pretty sick of all the environmental bullcrap and how journalists and commentators, who do not have a clue of what they’re talking about, competing in being most politically correct.

To tackle the environmental problem for real, I think it is time to stop engaging in projects such as “Earth Hour” and instead take decisions like increased support for nuclear power development.
