I apologize for anyone that decides to read this. Yes, the title was funny, but unfirtunately the blog is not. Anyway, here it is.
I like to play guitar, and sometimes play drums and keyboard. I also sing, but mostly in the shower. Despite my being a man with long hair and the stereotypes that go with it, (most of which I've proven to be true) I do have a job. But seriously, I do care about the environment. I believe that the only barrier between Americans and alternative forms of energy and waste disposal is corporate greed. The corporations provide the convinience and the incentive for people to continue using their products and filling their land with trash. They utilize the fullest extent of their power to frustrate anyone seeking alternative energy for their own and others' use. Just like how tobacco companies denied even the potential that cigarettes can kill, oil companies have coaxed us into their fuel, claiming it has no harm on the environment and that we would never run out.
They have also put taboo on other sources of energy and products that are environment friendly that may put them out of business because of todays growing urgency to go green. A case and point example would be the prohibition of hemp, not marijuana, but hemp, as a result of the collaborative effort of textiles owner and yellow journalist, William Randolph Hearst, and racist federal officer, Terry J. Anslinger.
Honestly, the only reason I'm in Environmental Science is because I was placed there. I didn't even really choose to be. But I suppose it would be nice to actually know a thing or two about the environment before I start protesting and go on hunger strikes in front of oil companies. The more I stay in the class, the more I find it to be interesting, probably because MR. Suter rants about some pretty funny things in class. But, at least half the time he really does have a point, and that's why I haven't switched classes.
