Green Angles Meet Solar Bikini Curves
Almost everyone these days are trying to find a green angle to promote their product, company or persona. Many businesses who are using green marketing are clearly more concerned about how they can profit from this green angle than promoting serious environmentalist issues. However, if it starts getting more people thinking about ecological concerns and less about American Idol or some such thing, then perhaps some will evolve to a more serious commitment than just being fashionably green for a few months. Real change to slow global warming can happen only when the politicians feel the political pressure. That pressure can only come if the majority of people starts to get involved and informed.
If we really want to halt Global Warming and reduce our carbon output by 50% or even 80% over the next 30 years or so people will have to undergo a mind boggling radical transformation in the way we all live. What we eat, how we drive, where we work, how we live, virtually nothing will be immune from needing a radical reconsidering. The profit motive is just one way among many we can start to get people thinking about how we might change our lifestyles. A solar bikini seems vacuous at first glance but what if the hot babe wearing this inspires some guy to start thinking “maybe I better bone up on this solar energy thing if I ever wanna stand a chance?” (pun intended!)
I strongly recommend you check out worldchanging.com’s thoughtful article “Make This Earth Day Your Last” that speaks to this more comprehensively.
Great Green Gadgets wishes you the best on Earth Day none the less.
