Global warming: marketing trick?


Lately there are rumors that global warming is just a marketing trick. Buy this, buy that, it’s better for the environment than another product. I do think it’s being used by some companies. Like “Robijn” a fabric softener in the Netherlands. I don’t think global warming is a marketing trick. Human kind is trying to control Mother Nature and the economies at the same time. Here lies the problem and a challenge.

“ buy Robijn it’s now twice as much concentrated, so the bottle is twice as small, and the trucks can ride twice as little”

My thought is: when it’s concentrated and the bottle stays the same, the consumers can postpone buying the bottle four times and the trucks safe the drive. The packaging would also be less, so better for the environment. I call this phenomenon: putting a furnish layer on your product, to make it look better.

The problem with using a cleaner energy or product is that it’s not lucrative. The Netherlands tries to stimulate using solar panels by subsidizing it. This looks noble, but they are also huge stakeholders of energy companies. By my view the use green energy is being suppressed by government restrictions. There is too much regulation surrounding green energy.

Having said that, the economies have to run on something, so maybe it’s time to find a new business model surrounding green energy. I’m not talking about the “pretty” furnish layer, but the core.

PS: so, you probably don't know me anymore, because I haven't written for a long time. What can I say; I was busy with school and other stuff in my life. You don't believe me? What is this Spanish inquisition? *kidding*

I culture


I Didn’t write for a while. If I don’t have the inspiration/time to write about the destruction of the earth, we’re really doomed…

Today I want to write about the I-culture. Its becoming very big. It means that everyone is just thinking about himself and acts in his own best interests. This sounds logical, but it really isn’t. We also see it on a bigger scale destruction of big forest for paper to wipe your butt, for instants. You could just recycle, but that is more work so just take trees. This is at the expense of mother earth, animals how live there and of course people. (written in order of importance)

The I-culture in a school for instance is what’s bothering me these days. People not working, because they have a job, don’t have time or just don’t want to do it. All at the expense of a group. Why work? If you do a just not good enough job” and write about that in your final report, you just pass.

That is because the school had its own I culture. For every student they get money from the government. This is what’s driving these schools, I think is wrong! You just create people that can’t work anywhere. The school doesn’t care about that, they have there money. They will talk about the problem and make a documentation, butt lets the students pass. This way they allow people to get lazy and there are a lot believe me.

So people don’t think about yourself all the time. It really starts with you! Think about this next time you wipe your ass.
