Wired Magazine has just released a very thought provoking article titled Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green, accompanied by ten green heresies:
- Live in Cities
- A/C Is OK
- Organics Are Not the Answer
- Farm the Forests
- China Is the Solution
- Accept Genetic Engeering
- Carbon Trading Doesn’t Work
- Embrace Nuclear Power
- Buy Used Cars — Not Hybrids
- Prepare for the Worst
It’s well worth a read, if you’re into that sort of thing.
As a carbon-based lifeform, i’m intending to switch my molecular constitution from carbon over to silicon, or possibly neon, so as to have a decreased footprint on the ecosystem.
I just can’t live with the guilt anymore.
Plus, when i’m a neon-based lifeform, i’ll glow at parties.
