Real Alternatives for Environmentally Damaging Living
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008When a researcher looks into environmentalism, it becomes apparent that this new environmental mindset is very narrow and is in part only a selling feature of big business who aim to disrupt observably altruistic companies such as Fair Trade and the great number of small environmental start-ups.Over the past few years there has been an explosion in so-called green consumer items and philosophy. I am whitnessing increasingly more and more individuals who are ‘going green’, which seems to be almost completely inspired by the corporate media. It would seem that a number of persons can only change their environmental footprint at the order of the government and multi-national advertising. As someone who has strived to be a blip on the environmental destruction radar – I recycle as much as I can, I refuse to drive a car and buy next to no non-essential products – I find this new vogue of environmentalism sepulchral and boxed in.
It is possible to power your car with water right now or you can take a trip to Brazil where a lot of cars run on ethanol.One of the racketeers of this new movement are the energy multi-national corporations who are vying to market a new green depiction of themselves by their research into secondary energy, which they will sell us once natural resources are no longer existent. To persons who are disposed to research such technologies, it will become clear that true alternatives to power needs have been accessible for over a century. It is these same companies that have hindered the emergence of real alternate energy in our lifetime, not in 2045.
Its not just our power needs that can be replaced by truly green alternatives, but our building resources and product packaging can become environmentally amiable today.
I found this great green home website, which will give you an idea of some of the alternatives you can start using today. The blog is often updated with new products and news from the environmental scene. The blog posts examine a number of subjects, such as green home buildings and green home designs.
