Here’s an interesting little video. It’s kinda clever, kinda just cheesy. It’s made in the style of something you’d see on HGTV or a bad infomercial. The video is making fun of the notion that you can buy yourself green. One scene they talk about their new green home…all 10,000 square feet of it. It’s written by Jerry Mander, who is the current director of the International Forum on Globalization – he’s also a former ad exec.
I’m not sure what to think of it. It was slightly amusing – but it did shed some light on problems such as the notion that ethanol is going to save the world. I hate to break it to you – but it’s not the answer. That’s for another time…another ramble. Watch the video…
