Greener Living Through Capitalism
Via Small Dead Animals:
John Robson does a fine job reminding us that real environmental progress comes from capitalists:
It's opera. My wife is listening to opera while jogging. The heroine will, one assumes, come to a tragic end. But the batteries won't, because she's using a digital player. On which, I trust, I can record the sound of environmentalists applauding the technological advances capitalism brings.
We'll wait for the applause, but somehow I'm just not hearing it.
