Sometimes, I think the 'green' media rather lose the plot.
What's the carbon cost of the online reaction to Michael Jackson's death?
When they are not being, possibly, total hypocrites (and a tad insensitive).
Maybe the BBC could get on the case?
I think Newsnight's Ethical Man has a colleague well placed...
Next time, Jacko, try to die in London*
Bless.
I know it was just a question. But the irony of online eco-breast beating about the online costs of 'stuff' being reported was rather rich.
And yes, I see the irony of me adding to this still further. But I think there are areas that, just possibly, set back the notion of sensible environmental progress.
*The further irony of which publicaion has penned this is also not lost on me.
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

No excuses
I just happen to like the song.
And this now allows me listen to it whenever I want. And the emotive imagery is effective.
Michael Jackson's biggest selling UK single wasn't Thriller or Billie Jean — but a song about the environment
A major talent with a troubled life. Worth acknowledging the contribution, but the flaws cannot be ignored. Especially those of a 24/7 media-dominated world that has lost ALL perspective. This did not warrant a news blackout in the UK on any other topic.
I must get back to writing again with the missus. But our protest stuff was not wanted so much back then. Now...? For now there's always Junkk.
