  Sometimes business people lie

  GreyFlcn,

  "This past month, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a regional business trade association group, unveiled a 12-point campaign dubbed "Clean and Green" that takes a variety of business issues and frames them in a way it hopes will help members reduce their environmental footprint while at the same time making them more profitable."

  From the link of your press release or article, some people view public relations and journalism as the same thing. That's not me judging, simply saying.

  I could be wrong, I have been before. In my world plans dubbed with snappy titles that rhyme, put out by business people have in general been slightly not true or tend to exaggerate a truth that they want people who purchase their items to believe.

  I of course could be living in a different reality from you.

  I mean having some contest with rhmying titles and encouraging people not use air when a package is two ounces is pretty good.

  That will do alot. You know my local Catholic primary school pretty much does the same thing on a budget of about 20,000 a year. Possibly MSNBC will to a write up on Our Mother of Good Counsel's third grade class :D

  Let me go out and start a contest right now, so I can go out save the planet.

  well...

  My opinion is that a corporate capitalist can't be green. It's simply impossible.

  I can see it now. The Murdoch Foundation helping to green the planet and humanity since 2007. My grandkids will be like, "Murdoch is a great guy." And I will just tell them to pass me my medicine.

  I'm going to take a nap.

  it's about control of content

  Murdoch isn't doing this to do anything, but to control the coverage.

  As with Myspace, MTV and all of the other initially very good ideas that turned into what they are now.

  Murdoch doesn't care abut the environment just like Bush doesn't care about the environment when he supports ethanol.

  Murdoch sees people who are writing about the environment (the new media) as a threat.

  A threat that can take away money going to his advertisers and him, so what he is going to do is round up all the environmental writers and activists (that are marketable and have a wide range appeal,) throw some money at them (just a little) and they'll start writing about things like.

  Greeing your wedding.
  Greening your car.
  Greening everything buy.
  Keep buying things as long as it's green.

  The environmental section will become like the calendar section. It will become like the Village Voice.

  Remember the Village Voice, remember when the LA Weekly and the NY Village Voice was alternative and not a bunch of rich kids covering their friends bands and covering the same thing that is in the mainstream press but using the word dude and the f*** word to make it more approachable?

  That's what's going to happen to the "green" movement when Murdoch gets his little grubby hands on it.

  One guy owning everything is always, always a bad idea.
