politics: an apple a day

I'm apparently an evil man, I leave my TV on standby and therefore I am single handedly destroying the environment, felling every tree in the Amazon, clubbing baby seals and melting the ice caps with a blow torch.

But am I? I think not.

Yes I have devices on standby, but my mobile telephone is over 5 years old, the last time I flew on a plane was 1998, I have had the same laptop for 4 years, my current MP3 player for 2 years and the one before that for 5 years. My home theatre system was 7years old before the amplifier blew, and my current amplifier wont be replaced for a long time either.
I always turn the lights off when I leave a room and I don't leave the tap running when I clean my teeth.

So I say to the people that upgrade their phone every 5 minutes just because Apple have released the iPhone 4.10234 and have just purchased the iPod Generation 56 to replace the iPod 55 that they listen to when flying from Cornwall to Devon, and get fit using their Wii rather than walking a real dog in a real park, well I might use 0.01w of electricity when my TV is on Standby, but you are doing infinitely more harm than I am, so SHUT THE F UP ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING or stop being such as consumer.


You know that guy called Al Gore, the guy that failed to become President of the US so became a right bitch about it? Well he is on the board of Apple which is according to Green Peace one of the worst companies for pollutants and waste out of the major manufacturers (especially when you consider how few products they actually market compared to Sony and Samsung) clicky and clicky, and Nintendo manage to stay at the bottom of the pack for yet another year.
