There used to be some PSA’s that decried a dripping faucet and water use for non-essential use. The message seem to imply that ‘water’ was a declining/diasppearing resource.
Turn the channel or load up a new website and one is inundated with global warming and the fear that coastal regions will eventually be permanently flooded.
Paper bags were so evil that the greenies managed to get most of them replaced with plastic. A couple of decades later, we are informed (by the greenie mentalities) that plastic is evil, primarily because Walmart, which is also evil, uses plastic bags. Ergo, the push for reusable bags.
So many greenie ideas look so good on paper. But, most of those greenie ideas turn out of have unintended consequences. Those reusable bags — they quickly become contaminated with bacteria and are, thus, health hazards.
As Kermit says, sort of, ‘it’s not easy being green(ie)’.
If one pays attention to all the claims, one sees that the greenie/global warming/leftist messages are mixed, muddled, and contradictory. They do, however, manage to gain influence and money, and that is their ultimate goal.
You have to laugh at all the greenies who take their recycle bags to the store knowing they are made out of more plastic than plastic bags and expose themselves to diseases. Now they have to wash them using more water and soap to be a “good” person.
This has more to do with how they shape the argument and win it as they are doing with sequester. Paint the Repubs as evil and greedy for not spending your money until they cave.
