CleanUpTheWorldECO-FATIGUE
November 22nd 2007 01:02
Trend researching site trendwatching.com has discovered that society is increasingly suffering from ECO-FATIGUE. It is argues that consumers are fed up with being told what to do and what not to do and are sick of being treated like infants by Al Gore and the like.
The ECO-FATIGUED increasingly rebel against the green movement, exemplified in the outcry following the launch of the Hybrid Porche Cayenne. Many felt that the fast, smooth, penis extention is becoming a mere battery-operated, neutered shadow of its former self.
The result was an online petition demanding that Porsche stop selling its eco-friendlier varieties. The site, therealcayenne.net, clocked more than 3,000 visits in its first few days, before being shut down for legal reasons.
Founder of the webite, John Whitaker, is extremely concerned as "now we also have to deal with the insecurity of being seen as 'hybrid drivers', as the public won't be able to tell the difference between a hybrid Cayenne and the real thing" he says.
The time is coming near where a new subculture of carbon loving, fuel gizzling, tireless consumers will congregate so be sure to shut them down whenever you can

It's like a song played too many times on the radio... I hope this doesn't happen to the environment, because we really do need long-term action. I hope being 'en-fren' just becomes a part of our every day lives so we don't really notice it: like when recycling first happened it was a bit of a pain - now it's just part of what we do.
Great post - thanks for bringing it up.
