Yes. That's exactly what the world needs, more stuff. If we all buy something green like an electric car that spends energy moving those 2 tons everywhere we go, I'm sure we will save the planet. We just have to buy more ecological stuff. Buy more green stuff! I'm sure we can all buy our way out of this. No need to change anything as long as we buy green to save the planet, and the economy too.
Reminds me of my father. He's up super early, like 4 am, and to him 7 am is perfectly late enough to run the wood planer on a weekend day.
