Carbon Footprint

As part of the ecoschool group campaign to reduce our energy use, this film uses ‘ecobell’ the eco-fairy to come to the aid of a school with a massive carbon footprint.

Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges

"We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five,"

Yep.. gotta curb that CO2… At least Fat Algore has cancelled his 00 per handshake visit.

I am doing a school art project on what is hurting our society. I’ve decided to do puppy mills. Where are puppy mills usually located in like the forest, desert, or what environment. Thank you.

I have to study about the media industry in relation with the macro-economic environment. What this macro-environment consists of?

The television commercials tell me it’s my responsibility to reverse the effects of human contribution to global warming. I should buy the new energy efficient light bulb and the hybrid car because if anybody is going to ‘make a difference’, it has to be me…

Isn’t this just another way of saying, "This is all your fault"? It’s not the oil companies that purchased the intellectual rights to the electric car so they could bury it. It’s not the oppotunistic enterprises and their greedy investors that want to strip the world bare then bury us up to our knees with cheap plastic junk we don’t want and never asked for. This is all my fault and your fault because we bought the wrong light bulbs, careless, insensitive monsters that we are! It’s our responsibility… because obviously, no one else is going to do anything about… the television commercial just told us that: "If anyone is going to make a difference, it has to be you… because nobody else is going to do anything… Now go buy the energy efficient light bulb, or I put one in the earth’s ear, see?"

Anybody else interpret these commercials as blame reassignment and veiled threats?
Meilien, that’s exactly my point. Why is it only our responsibility as individuals and not our collective responsibility as a society? We are collectively responsible for our collective actions and even though our current self-centric ideology doesn’t allow us to believe that now, billions of other humans not yet born are going to to know it later. It’s not MY responsibility or YOUR responsibility, it’s OUR responsibility. For as long as everyone else around me is going to keep telling me I have to fix this by controlling everybody else’s actions through the awesome powers of my consumer purchases, my response is going to remain, "You can all choke on my carbon for all I care." I will NEVER accept individual responsibility for this nor will I attempt individual action. I am willing to sacrifice probably more than most others but only for a worthy cause, and my singular carbon footprint is not a worthy cause, not as lonf as everybody else keeps telling me I’m the only one responsible.

Something like…

The environment is being affected by fumes from cars and factories
To help protect the environment, in the future i would like to buy an electric car
There are many things one can do to help the environment
When I have left a room, I always turn off the light
I lower my home thermostats

Thank you!
