Go Veg, Be Green, Save the Planet

[Silent1]

Another adverts that's on a lot over here, is it in the UK?

Basically an advert shows the world spinning, then cuts it into 3 equal thirds and says.

"33% of the world's CO2 output is created by Energy Creation,
33% of the world's CO2 output is created by Transportation and
33% of the world's CO2 output is created by the livestock industry"

"So Go Veg, Be Green, Save the Planet"


What the hell, i get so enraged when i see this hippy st, why do they feel the need to preach their yoghurt weaving, home-made tampon wearing, semen shampoo using detritus upon the population.

Really i don't have time for these militant veggie types, if they want to live like that then fine, but fk off with your scientology ways of converting people.

Here's their propaganda:

Sadly i can't find an organisation to the exact antithesis of them.

So what about the CO2 produced by humans?

PH has got to be close though

Thats the remaining 1%, normally on Sumdays after most of the country has consumed a super Sunday veg pilled high fart brewing roast dinner.

I don't see what harm it does.

The country is full of pressure groups - no-one agrees with all of them and none of them have the agreement of everyone. Just ignore them.

So it happens to be exactly a third/33% each? Really believable

And the increased methane produced by humans after eating veg!

Termites (who are the worst polluting animals), volvanos, ocean vents, forest fires.

Their advert says;
"33% of the world's CO2 output is created by Energy Creation,
33% of the world's CO2 output is created by Transportation and
33% of the world's CO2 output is created by the livestock industry"

"So Go Veg, Be Green, Save the Planet"


The UN report they use to support their argument says "livestock contributes to about 9% of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions".

Muppets.

Go vegetarian to fight climate change? Well, good luck with that, because if so concerned about CO2 and methane they will also presumably not be eating anything grown abroad nor grown out of season in the UK using heated greenhouses, nor any dairy products. Six months of the year living on pulses and swedes. Marvellous, good luck with the scurvy.

I worked out that in order to offset the CO2 emissions of the 570mile round trip to North Wales that I take every month our company would need to recycle 500kg of paper a month.

So I have effectively rendered the entire companies CO2 derived recycling incentive a complete waste of time.

The director called me a "self absorbed ahole". I was very pleased.

Follow my example PHers. Together we can destroy the world.

I wasn't aware of much vitamin C in meat (except maybe liver?)?

It's an aussie advert, not that makes much difference.

But bizarrely over here they're almost xenophobic on imported foods, in western asutralia it's a big marketing point/selling point that it's western australian owned and run, people actively buy based on that.
Then they'll buy from other states, but you wont see many/if any foods from another country!

Do you recall the Halifax adverts, Howard the sex-bomb wanting to give you extra ?

I dont't see what harm it does... but i still want to kill him, his family, the person who came up with the idea, their family, and friends, aquaintances... and their families !!

This country is full of lots of things that in their own right 'don't do any harm' but once put together are like an army of ants taking little chunks out of your patience, millions of little chunks.

Can we not have american style public-broadcast channels to put all this pressure-group shiite on !?

[grumbledoak]

Do the Aussies really have no equivalent of the ASA?

Just report the advert as misleading and watch it vanish. Hopefully along with the gassy, preachy, pasty wasters that made it.

Hmm. I guess I get around this by having not have a television for the last five years.

Not really a serious warning against scurvy (you could add some winter cabbage to the pulses and swedes), just pointing out how restricted a diet will be with no meat, no dairy and nothing that can't be grown locally. The vast majority of people who eat a vegetarian diet in the UK are ovo-lacto (and hence reliant on the dairy and chicken livestock industries) and just like most other people supplement their diet with imported veg, often air-freighted. Brazilian soya products and Kenyan sugar snap peas and Peruvian asparagus and Dutch hothouse peppers in February aren't a good start for dietary one-upmanship on the climate change front.
