Corporate Hypocrisy

A.T.&T. has done my cell phone business for years. Some time back they started touting paperless billing. Just go online, they said, and let us take the amount of your bill directly from your bank account. No paper! Now, they COULD also report to me the amount of the transaction every month in my email (in fact, they do tell me they've done it). But they still send me a paper envelope, filled with - paper, every month to tell me what is already on my email. How "green" of them!

Good vid. 99% of these corporations are one big hypocritical animal.

Whatever campaign you see touting: green policies, charitable works, environmental research, etc etc etc is more likley than not,them trying to emotionaly appeal to customers. They dont give a rats ass about any of that.

But, if they portray themselves as though they care, their image is enhanced and therefore so is their bottom line...and thats what they really care about.

@djosephallen Do you remember the Chevron "People DO" ads? An oil company wanted us to believe that they bend over backward to make our environment pristine. Yeah, right!

Epic title

@frididjurhuus I have to laugh! The video got processed before I had a title on it. Maybe I should have left it that way. It might have attracted more attention!

@Largho64

Here's a question for you. How many cell phones do AT&T recycle?

[connerjd]

It isn't just corporations, there are individuals who practice the same hypocrisy.

@Largo64

I don't, but Ive recently seen a couple of the BP ads, with people who say they live in New Orleans, and the way they are trying to again, appeal emotionally by saying: look, we are people who live and work with you. We care.... Im sorry if Im a bit cynical and skeptical...

They must really think we're idiots.

There are thing that are good for the environment, there are things that are better, there are things that are the best and then there is practicality.

@47f0 I can tell by your comment that you don't see gradations.

Yes letting these tree farms return to nature will be the best thing to do but that is not going to happen. Tree farms are good for the environment in that they take a long time to grow and in that time they take up allot of CO2. If tree farms where to become unprofitable they would be turned into other farms that PUT OUT CO2 or used for development. Either way the effects are worse than if the land is used to grow trees.
