I see a lot of advertising narketed as Eco friendly, whatever that means. Is there some verification that makes something eco friendly. I think a lot of companies advertise like that because it is ECOnomical to do so. It is the same as going to the super market and buying organic. Is there some validating stamp of approval for listing something as organic? I doubt it.
However there is no shortage of Gen whatevers that take it to heart. If ecotourism is a thing, is it environmentally sound to fly halfway round the world to live in a tree house or yurt? I doubt it.
Another pet peeve of mine is believing asian countries when they submit their CO2 yearly results. Assuming they had the wherewithall to adequately count them, they would not report them honestly. After all, they are developing countries. Funny that the malls in Bangkok make all the malls in Canada look like strip malls. Ditto for the airports, and infrastructure. The pollution in Bangkok is off the charts as I type. Time to mask up.
I recently read an article that 90 percent of all the plastics in the ocean arrive via 10 rivers in Asia and Africa. If you think the powers to be give a shit you are sorely mislead.
However, we Canadians, led by Trudope will save the oceans from our plastics that never get there.
Just some observations from my travels of late.
