You Vote Every Day
Posted on Sunday, July 06, 2008
I watched The 11th Hour tonight ... it was a startling and informative look at how we've damaged the world, but still have time to fix it. I wrote down this quote, because I really liked the idea:
"You can ... vote. And I don't mean voting at a voting booth. Anybody, of any age can vote. Because you vote every day that you pay for something. Every time you lay money down on a counter to buy something, you are saying that I approve of this object. I approve of how it was made, the materials that are in it, and what's going to happen to it when I no longer need it and thrown it away." Labels: environment, politics
