“Mankind’s blind pursuit of convenience and material comforts threaten to upset this fragile balance of co-existence sustaining life on Earth, creating such problems as environmental destruction and the break-down of societal values.”-Sanyo.com

Sanyo has chosen to think “GAIA” In respecting that all life on earth is organic and interconnected, Sanyo intends to use it’s technological resources and know-how to propose global solutions in harmony with our new understanding of Gaia- Earth. The company’s ultimate goal is to help restore a beautiful Earth for future generations.

I think it does help the world when we seek out companies whose mission statement has a moral compass. One advantage to doing this is, in an attempt to reclaim a piece of the market share more companies will create environmentally friendly products, in an environmentally friendly way.

I was going to buy a Sanyo item this week. Now I think I've changed my mind.

“Restore the beautiful Earth to the future generation”? Not only do they make crap products, they can’t do English very well either.

No more Sanyo products for us. The list of companies that are folding to leftist nonsense is ever increasing.

Better boot all the Sanyo products from our schools and courts now that it has become a religion.

A major corporation endorsing and promoting paganism. The bizarro world is becoming a reality.

So Sanyo is going to stop using plastic and metal in their products? All of their electronic merchandise will be made from recycled wood chips? Or do they think that making some kind of pro-environment mission statement is being part of the solution?

The Japanese LOVE the concept that they are destroying (they = humans) the environment. It’s a reocurring theme in their Anime cartoons, video games and literature (Literature = graphic novels and user manuals)

The Gaia concept, in their marketting strategy is clearly meant for their domestic crowds. It proves that Sanyo will guilt people to get them away from Sony.

I agree that material comforts threaten to bring about a breakdown of societal values. Abortion and the same sex couple agendas being part of that selfish “I want it” physical world mindset.

But I suspect that this isn’t want the consumerist company Sanyo was referring to.

Sanyo should focus on winning dyslexic consumers from Sony...

Hold-on-to-your-wallets alert.

Bet if "gaia" had been nailed to a cross, they'd be all mum about it.
