"America is shifting to a "green culture" where over 300 million citizens are embracing the fact that environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility."
I hate to nitpick and I don't want to make a big issue out of this but I sincerely doubt that over 300 million American citizens are all shifting to a green culture. Have you watched Gold Rush on television lately. I can assure you that the guys who strip the hell out of land to find a few ounces of gold have not shifted to a green culture. These guys destroy everything in sight and have no intentions of returning the land to anything resembling nature's beauty when they leave.
How about the big oil businesses? Even though they tell us how environmentally responsible they are, do you think they are? Have you heard the crap coming out of BP's commercials about how they returned the Gulf Coast to a better than before state? Look, these big boys only care about one thing and that is an obscene amount of profits and anyone who thinks they truly have shifted to a green culture are just kidding themselves.
I have wanted to vent on these two companies for awhile and I was never sure how to do it to make an impactful statement. That is why I decided to do it in light of the EPA's statement. I just want people to want to help the environment in small steps that add up to huge steps worldwide, but then I see some of the environmental destruction that still goes on and it makes me sad. Thanks for letting me vent and I hope you will too.
