Re: [MBZ] Earth Day was Re: OT Something Controversial To Someone
It may not jack up the GDP but almost any reuse or recycling will do more for the environment than trying to reduce CO2 using a new rechargeable car. As long as China and India are building new coal plants at a breakneck pace, anything we do here (CO2-wise) is symbolic, at best. -Original Message- From: Mercedes On Behalf Of Rick Knoble via Mercedes Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2021 7:33 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Rick Knoble Subject: [MBZ] Earth Day was Re: OT Something Controversial To Someone Dimitri says: >I’m way more environmentally conscious than my Tesla driving friends.
