Yes, I understand the urgency of the catastrophe that has heightened the world's awareness. It is not no longer considered a sideline issue among the many resolutions the UN and superpowers must pass. It is no longer a mundane topic only raised by Greenpeace and the environmentalists. It is now considered hip and cool to be environmentally friendly.
It is cool to be using your own reusable bag when you shop at supermarkets. It is cool to drink with a reusable bottle. It is cool to bathe with cold water. It is cool to wear a sweater instead of turning up the thermostat (if you're in a generally chilly country). It is cool to use the fan instead of air-conditioning (if you're in a sticky, hot country). It is cool to love the earth and love Momma Nature whatever.
But why is it cool? Why? Why is it cool to love the whales now when you laughed at the people who fought so hard to keep them on the "still existing" animals list? Why is it cool now when you swore to yourself you'd never be a part of the school's Environmental Activist Club?
Because everyone is doing that. Cameron Diaz, Linkin Park, Madonna, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, James Blunt, John Legend, Keane, the Pussycat Dolls and whoever else is on the list of Live Earth performers, promoters, is doing that.
We love Earth because they love Earth. We don't love Earth because we love Earth.
How many times has Greenpeace fought for your support? How many times have you received emails from them trying to get you to save our Earth? How many times have you actually gone to the Greenpeace website?
And now Al Gore brings in his troupe of famous people to all the cool places in the world and we go gaga wearing "I LOVE EARTH" tees.
This is our generation, people. We got no spine.
