People are debating whether Ed Begley Jr.'s bicycle operated toaster helps save the Earth. For me, I can't believe we've come to a point where debating what a washed-up actor does to toast his bread is worthy of discussion.
Good discussion over at Slev's house and Mr. Mowatt's neighborhood about the "green is good" fashion message coming from The Powers That Be™ ... I guess I didn't get my point across clearly on Slev's site. I agree that it's a marketing ploy. But I also agree that "think globally, act locally" is a great idea.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go work on my McMansion.

I guess I have to bring it over here. I admitted up front it's a good thing. My point is simply that it's a finger in the dyke when the dyke needs ten fingers or a big fist. Can I say that on TV?
Perhaps we are just too i don't know, "trite" about the Greenness of it all. I'm all for saving the planet, but we have to be serious, what we are talking about is actually saving the human race, the planet's fine with our without us. Mass extinctions, boiling atmosphere, it's been through it before...
And let's not get me started on the marketing of it.
