So I better start by listing all of the green things I do before I talk about how I was annoyed by a bunch of douche bags from Greenpeace while I was trying to enjoy a day at the farmer’s market today. So let’s start with that.
1. I buy as much local food as I can afford.
2. I have a small car and use my bike instead of it very often.
3. I fix my stuff instead of throwing it away.
4. I plant some of my own food.
5. I don’t own a boat or other large thing that uses tons of resources like a jet, or a motor home. (Fuck you John Travolta and Al Gore).
6. I compost.
7. I do most of my work by hand even if a machine is available to stay in shape and save fuel. If it is more efficeint to use a machine I evaluate the situation and do the most efficient thing.
8. I have used clean energy through my power companies for almost 5 years now.
9. I am one of the most green people that I know and am constantly trying to reduce my impact on the planet. I care about it and consider it a priority in my life.
10. I use CFL’s and many other devices to save energy, refurbish my own batteries, and probably have forgotten some of the things that I do, within reason, to save energy.
Now on to my Greenpeace experience today. I was at the farmer’s market in my town. Buying local produce and goods and signing up to use clean energy through my power company in my new town. On my way out of a used book store my family and I were harassed by Greenpeace agents. Now let me say that they were on a street corner in a town in the US that is very eco-friendly in the first place. I was actually on my way to work. Which I told them. I was then harassed by them, told that “they’re trying to save the Earth”, because they assumed that because I didn’t want to talk to them that I wasn’t, and then one of them started to insult us, telling us that we must have no sense of humor as well… I’m still not sure how they pulled that out of the situation. In general they assumed that because we didn’t want to talk to them that we just didn’t “get it” and didn’t care about “mother earth”. Fucking rich hippies.
In the end I just want to say that I didn’t want to talk to them because although saving the Earth should be a top priority for all Americans, I didn’t want to talk to a bunch of representatives from an often misinformed, militant group, like Greenpeace. Fuck you, you guys suck. I’ll keep saving the Earth the way I’ve been, by leading by example in my own life, and you can shove your self righteous, psychopathic, hippie BS up your fucking ass. There are plenty of other less militant organizations and people out there, actually doing something other than making assumptions on street corners of there fellow citizens. I suggest you do the same. Oh and in case you didn’t know what I meant for sure by my overall description in this post, let me make it clear, I mean fuck you!
