On Conservation
by Christopher Null / July 12, 2009
Pundit Derrick Jensen says: Conservation, recycling, and personal green technologies are useless. Interesting and very sad piece on why, as a race, we’re pretty much doomed.
Favorite quotes:
“Even if every person in the United States did everything [An Inconvenient Truth] suggested, U.S. carbon emissions would fall by only 22 percent. Scientific consensus is that emissions must be reduced by at least 75 percent worldwide.”
“Collectively, municipal golf courses use as much water as municipal human beings.”
“Municipal waste accounts for only 3 percent of total waste production in the United States.”
Still, I guess change has to start somewhere… sigh.
