!t's the consumer who is warming the planet.
It's our conspicuous consumption, wants, greed, demands, and our #PursuitOfHappiness that is the source of #GreenHouseGas.
Do I really need that #Starbucks.
Do I need to update to the newest, latest...?
Is #shopping still a pastime and cure for boredom etc. O god, do I need to jet to vacation where turtles once incubate or build a home up there where bears and mountains lions were once free?
What if I give No Thing,
what if I do not give Any Thing this holiday?
What if I give love instead?
The power to arrest the so-called global warming lies with the consumer and not politicians and businesses.
DO i NEED THAT IPHONE ?
OR, DO i WANT THAT NEW iPHONE?
“Some people say, "Give the customers what they want." But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page”, Steve Jobs.
