Branson offers $25m to save the planet

, , ,

So Richard Branson is Offering $25 million to the first person to come up with a method to remove at least 1 billion tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere per year.

Well, here's my effort:

Stop consuming so much useless crap.

I applaud Richard Branson for putting up a prize fund & I sincerely hope that someone (maybe Nikkogen?!) does come forward with a solution & bags the prize money.

But what gets me is that the problem is posed as if we don't already know the solution: If you want to empty the bath, turn off the tap.

If Mr Branson still requires specifics then how about this: Get rid of packaging, patio heaters, escalators, automatic doors, running machines, leaf blowers (is there anything more futile? /Shatner), shops that keep their displays illuminated throughout the night, cosmetics, electric kitchen knives, juicers, whisks & toothbrushes, fairy lights, the fashion industry, open freezers in supermarkets, disposable carrier bags, disposable nappies, motorised golf trolleys, shopping channels, remote controls & cosmetic surgery.

My pet favourite is automatic mailouts of junk mail. One bit of junk mail is bad enough, but this morning I got eight identical bits of junk for various ex-employees, all at this address. I sent them back, but I doubt the mailing lists will get updated.
