Brand Obssessed Consumers

Here is an excerpt from Adbusters Magazine...

"Try this one with your kids. Give them one minute to come up with a list of all the brand names they can think of. Pretty easy right? Okay, then give them one minute to list all the different kinds of plants and trees they can remember. Once they're finished, compare lists and lead them in a discussion about why the second list is so much smaller then the first one."

- Adbusters


Now you might think, "well it's hard to know how many trees there are, there's thousands of them." Yes there is. However did you know that the average person sees 5000 advertisements a day? " It's not like I pay attention to all of them", you say sporting your brand new nike shoes. (made by slave kids with carpel-tunnel syndrome)

I just think humanity should befriend the plants that have given our planet AIR. So we can fucking breathe!!!

Oh and here's a little tidbit you bastards should know. Scientists say that 2007 has broken records for wildlife going extinct, weird weather and deforestation. " By cutting down the boreal forest you're giving the world asthma." they say. When one animal goes extinct, others follow. Which makes farming a lot harder. It most definitely leads to famine. And ,with the rising temperatures, a more pleasant breeding ground for bacteria.
