zelena je barva srca

I: Thou shalt have no other planets before Me.
II: Thou shalt not exploit resources in vain.
III: Thou shalt take a break from electronic devices and unplug them while not in use.
IV: Thou shalt recycle, even if thou must driveth to Wal-Mart in thy carbon dioxide emitting, 10-miles-per-gallon-getting Hummer.
V: Thou shalt not kill animals grown in factory farm conditions.
VI: Thou shalt not sleep with polluters to convert them to thine side.
VII: Thou shalt not steal, because then thou art consuming earthly goods.
VIII: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor’s greenhouse gas emissions.
IX: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s solar panels, greywater irrigation system or organic garden because thou shalt soon have one of thine own.
X: Thou shalt not key thy neighbor’s Prius, even if thou would like to own one or thou knoweth the truth about its origins.

Psychologist Bruce Alexander wrote the Roots of Addiction a few years ago. This report finds that addiction is caused by dislocation–from family, culture, nature etc. and that addicts try to cope through drugs. An obvious extension, which Alexander has fleshed out in his latest book, is that many of us cope with dislocation through shopping, not street drugs. Some of us cope by working too hard. So, a compromised sense of our identity is a problem, but consumerism doesn’t become part of our identity, it is just used to try to make us feel better.

Britanski časnik Evening Standard je spočel kampanjo, s katero želi spodbuditi londonske restavracije, da bi v svoji ponudbi zopet uveljavile vodo iz pipe.

Britons drink three billion bottles every year, and half a billion are flown or shipped from overseas. Transporting bottled water in Britain is estimated to produce 33,200 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the annual energy use of 6,000 homes.

o arhitekturnem zvezdniku Koolhasu in njegovih načrtih za Dubai:

Maybe Koolhaas doesn’t believe that Dubai is the place for a forward-looking vision. Or maybe he believes, true to his post-Modernist roots, that the past offers the best model for the future, if it is leavened with irony, and garnished with a dash of the surreal. Or maybe he simply doesn’t have a vision for the future. Who knows? We should care, however, because the world’s attention is focused on Dubai, and on Koolhaas and other architecture stars, and because—like it or not—what they do is taken as a model for the future, even when it is, how shall I say, not nearly good enough.

I like a plastic bag and a bottle of water as much as the next self-involved me monkey, but it takes 430,000 gallons of oil to manufacture 100,000,000 grocery bags, and if I were capable of doing even the most basic arithmetic I’d say—well, who are we kidding? I’m not capable of doing even the most basic arithmetic—just know that we’re in great danger of making Al Gore really, really mad.
