I don’t spend so
much time on green practices. I can understand the risk of an exacerbated
animal “slaughter” or risk of pollution to health but I don’t fell motivated “to
do something”. Who can blame us for don’t do something? There is some more
urgent needs: “you can use a bike”, but you have to live near to you placework;
“you can recycling”, but you will need to have enough time to spend, “you can
eat organic food”, but you need to have money to buy expensive food, “you can
supported to a eco-organization”, but you will need to have money to give to
them, etcetera. Becomes a “green person” can be a privilege itself.
I think this “green
ideology” can be dangerous. Why? Because sometimes it comes a lifestyle more
than a proposal of organization of society. It`s like religious confession: If I
eat organic food/ride a bike/recycling/etcetera, I will help the planet. Yes,
sure, but I going to help in a micro scale. More motivating is the personal
satisfaction of be this green person. We
buy our redemption being “green”.
If we still with
reducing this to a lifestyle, the world won’t change at all. We need to find a
way of sustainable organization because if it becomes a interpellation to
individual practices, it is merely a moral discussion.
