You may consider it silly, or insignificant
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 12:46 ET by Calypso JonesPersonally i think its significance lies in the test. If it's accepted willing by the public, it will mean the beginning of more 'programs' like this....maybe even a one world religion. laugh if you want. Nothing is impossible any longer.
It's clearly advocacy.
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 12:46 ET by superconIt is no different than if Fox News promoted Traditional Marriage week or Right to Life week.I said it before.The MSM is dead as a source of journalism. All they are now are just advocacy groups that use their t.v. networks as a political platform to shape our views.They wrap their opinions in a newsy cloak but it is nothing more than blatant advocacy.This past election is a harbinger of things to come.They don't report the news as much as they try to shape it in their own opinion.
Significantly different, in my opinion
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 13:05 ET by Calypso JonesBecause it's obvious that there is no distinction between Obama, democrats, left wing whackos and the whacko media. And they are clearly agreeable to being used by the hallowed ones.

This movement/agenda is already very heavy duty in the schools here in Wa State. All my children required thorough re-education and basically a calming down! When my oldest was 12 or so she came home in tears believing that we were all going to be under water in a few years if we didn't stop driving and start recycling.
I find it almost akin to teaching a Public religion. You're going to a watery hell if'n ya don't change your ways!
Point is - we already recycled, car pooled, had 100% CFLs, mulch our grass & composted our gardens.
But here in the Green State recycling & yard waste are 1 price no matter what the amount. Trash is extra so we have a tiny little can. All our other 'green' choices reduce the money we spend. Even the nickle per reusable grocery sack credit we get makes sense -especially since they decided to toss on this incredibly lame plastic bag tax here in my county.
So, of course I am curious what NBC sells with their Green Campaign. Nearly all of their tips are things everyone has heard since near-birth. Short showers & turn off the lights when you leave the room.
Other tips?
etc etc. organic = EXPENSIVE!
until these things become affordable to those of us who shop the off-brands and clip coupons the rest of this 're-education' campaign is simply, in a word, stupid. So who is this all directed to? It seems like nothing more than a bunch of elite movie and media people trying to sell a lifestyle the common folk can only feel (guilty? empty? uncool?) about.
I wont even start with the idea that it seems inappropriate for a network to be Agendizing the eco-faith. How many carbon credits is this campaign costing us?

"buy organic wine, beer"
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 13:47 ET by danboGotta point out. All beer and wine is organic.
Alcohol is produced by an organic entity called yeast. Which consumes sugars. The yeast then converts the sugars to two substances. Alcohol and CO2.
Have the states of Wasghington, Oregon and California demanded that they stop making wine. That evil wine and beer is destroying the environment.
As I know AGW is BS. Please feel free to send me your beer and wine. I'll dispose of this environment killing toxin.

Cotton Rules!
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 14:29 ET by CobraMan"shop for clothes made with renewable or recycled fiber"
I call that Cotton, and I've been wearing cotton fiber clothing all of my life. Who knew that, for over the last 47 years, I've been so Green?
BTW, what happens to recycled cotton? Answer: A lot of it gets made in money, literally! 30 percent of the cotton fibers used in the production of currency "paper" comes from recycled cotton. So, recycle your clothing and you'll REALLY make money.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 13:43 ET by CWellsIs NBC not a commercial enterprise? Other than the fact that they are placing much of these items in 'news' programs (which probably does confuse some viewers into thinking they're actual news items) should they not be free to be as stupid as possible? And given the loss of audience the networks are experiencing, I hope they keep it up!!

save the planet by turning off the TV
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 14:44 ET by jackie3I can't agree more! The amount of money, energy and time wasted on TV is mind boggling. The main stream news is nothing more than cheerleaders for Obama now. They have not reported the conflicting reports on GW. Just predictions of doom and gloom if we don't buy the expensive recycled and organic products.
Grandma and Grandpa knew how to recycle. Use old glass jars instead of tossing them. Grew their own food. Victory gardens anyone? All "organic" btw. If you want to know how to recycle look back to the past.
Grandma and Grandpa didn't have garbage disposal curb side pick up. They took care of their own garbage. They reused packaging products. Took tin and metals to the scrap yard for money. Actually sewed their own clothes. Repaired their shoes instead of buying more cheap crap from wal-mart. Had nice things. Had better public transportation with trolley cars and trains. No TV's just a radio. Used old newspapers around the house. Had compost piles for gardens. They were very good at recycling. And saving money in the process.
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Global Warming has NOTHING to do with Pollution!
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 21:17 ET by PopularTechI have no idea why people cannot understand this?
"CO2 for different people has different attractions. After all, what is it? - it’s not a pollutant, it’s a product of every living creature’s breathing, it’s the product of all plant respiration, it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis, it’s a product of all industrial burning, it’s a product of driving – I mean, if you ever wanted a leverage point to control everything from exhalation to driving, this would be a dream. So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality." - Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D. Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT
"Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but a naturally occurring, beneficial trace gas in the atmosphere. For the past few million years, the Earth has existed in a state of relative carbon dioxide starvation compared with earlier periods. There is no empirical evidence that levels double or even triple those of today will be harmful, climatically or otherwise. As a vital element in plant photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is the basis of the planetary food chain - literally the staff of life. Its increase in the atmosphere leads mainly to the greening of the planet. To label carbon dioxide a "pollutant" is an abuse of language, logic and science." - Robert M. Carter, Ph.D. Palaeontology
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a natural part of Earth's Atmosphere (NASA)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere have risen from 0.028% to 0.038% (380ppm) over the past 100 years (IPCC)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not toxic until 5% (50,000ppm) concentration (Source)
- Any detrimental effects of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) including chronic exposure to 3% (30,000ppm) are reversible (Source)
- OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH occupational exposure standards are 0.5% (5,000 ppm) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (Source)
The Kyoto Protocol is a treaty to regulate 'Greenhouse Gases' only:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O) (Laughing Gas, Nitrous, NOS)
- Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
- Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
- Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
Car Exhaust consists of:
Harmless:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Nitrogen (N2)
- Water vapor (H2O)
Some Pollutants:
- Carbon monoxide (CO) *
- Hydrocarbons or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) *
- Nitric oxide (NO) *
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) *
- Particulate matter (PM-10) *
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) *
* Your car's Catalytic Converter removes about 95% of these pollutants by converting them to Water and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Smog consists of:
- Ozone (O3) * (formed from the photochemical reaction of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) + Hydrocarbons)
- Particulate matter (PM-10) *
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) *
* Air Pollution is already regulated in the: 1970 Clean Air Act (Amended: 1977, 1990)
Air Quality in America (PDF) (AEI)
- The United States has sharply reduced air pollution levels, despite large increases in nominally "polluting" activities (Source)
- Areas in the United States with the highest pollution levels have improved the most (Source)
- Air quality in the United States will continue to improve (Source)
- Regulators and environmental activists exaggerate air pollution levels and obscure positive trends in the United States (Source)
- Air pollution affects far fewer people, far less often, and with far less severity than is commonly believed. (Source)
So please explain what any of this has to do with returning to the days before the catalytic converter? Did some law get passed wanting to do away with them? Please explain.

No shit Sherlock. The AGW crowd blames "greenhouse gasses", CO2 just happens to be their poster child. Of course they don't understand how convection really works. If the earth was like an oven with a closed door, we'd be on fire. Thank YHWH for ozone holes.
The fact of the matter is, real conservatives believe in conservation and protection of natural lands. It's good to be a greenie ... not a weenie.
So why are you spreading "green" propaganda statements?
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 21:30 ET by PopularTechNBC's green is universal campaign is to push the Man-Made Global Warming agenda, which is to regulate CO2. You come back with some propaganda statement regarding going back to smog from the 70s.
Are they planning to repeal the U.S. Clean Air laws? Are they planning to do away with catalytic converters? If not then please don't spread this propaganda.
I am so happy you bought into the "real conservative" BS as if anyone wants more pollution. Being "green" is mentally insane.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 22:19 ET by CrashI own that season of BS. If you want to lump me in with militants and radicals be my guest; though, I'm nothing of the sort.
Initially the EPA was a great idea as signed off on by President Nixon. However, the EPA has been pirated by dunces, as has the word "green", conservationist and (apparently) conservative.
Perhaps I miss the hidden message in NBC's pimping the green strategy. I thought that they were just trying to sell expensive light bulbs, with 5% mercury and various proprietary patented products in an attempt to make a buck. Hey, it happened with freon.
BTW, I can't think of one show I've watched on NBC and if they're still peddling AGW snake oil they missed their mark. On the plus side, less kids are watching television these days.
Clean Air vs. Global Warming
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 22:21 ET by PopularTechWith Obama set to destroy the U.S. economy we cannot have people confused that clean air has anything to do with global warming. They have nothing to do with each other. The current eco-hype has to do with buying overpriced eco-crap, expensive organic food and feeling guilty for being part of a capitalistic country. But it really comes down to reducing CO2 to "save the planet" either through reduced energy usage or mandated government regulation.
I am positive GE is trying to make a buck but all the NBC talking heads REALLY believe they are "saving the planet".
When you say you don't want to go back to the 70s, I find that absurd because no one does and that has nothing to do with the current green propaganda being spread by NBC.Which is going to lead to this...

I don't want a bunch of Marxist parasites using the "environment" as the vehicle to slam their brand of failure down our throats...but that's what this "Green is Universal" campaign is all about. If you're dumb enough to allow your stated desire for a clean environment to cause you to accept being led around by a bunch of socialists, that's your problem. Don't make it mine.

So if there is a profit in it there will be some schmoe looking to make a buck at it. Look at the automobile, around 1900 it was an oddity and teh horse and buggy were more practical. then the cars got better and cheaper and the horse went away.
Now hen gas was 4+ dolalrs a gallon Boone Picken hatched a scheme to make renewable energy and save teh enviroment. He was free market. It will not happen overnight no matter how we do it; but if it is profitable then it will happen.
