Carbon friendly company?! What the hell is that supposed to mean? Do these people even know what carbon is?
I received my telephone bill from Bell Canada today. This is printed on the back of the envelope:
"Hey, didn't Bell change it's logo?"
You're right, we did. But since part of making today better means not wasting paper, we're using up the old stationary first. (Help save even more trees; sign up for paperless billing at bell.ca/mybell)
Also on the back of the envelope is a "FSC logo that states:
Mixed Sources. Envelope and invoice paper from well managed forests and other controlled sources.
Great Zeus! When will this environmental non-think end?! As I have pointed out previously, Canada's forest are some of the world's best managed and maintained. We are not running out of trees! This Bell Canada message is misleading at best, fraud at worst.
Here an idea! How about promoting email bills to save money in mailing and printing costs? Savings that can be passed on to the customer? Or maybe they blew those savings already in costs for a new logo? Drop the environmental bullshit if you want to keep me as a customer!
The thing about automobiles is they make it very easy to kill from a distance, at a high rate of speed, and are difficult to stop. Also, there are very easy to get, at least here in the USA.
I know, I know, but as long as I hear the same old arguements from one side, I'll repeat the same old arguments from the other side.
I've had enough of government putting a gun to my head and stealing my hard-earned money to help pay for the health insurance of someone who drives a BMW while I struggle to make ends meet. I've had enough of health care fraud that increases my taxes. I've had enough of government rationed health care.
Canadian government spending on health care alone in 2007 was $160.1 billion dollars ($150.3 billion in 2006). That works out to about $4,867 per person. Approximately 4.1 million Canadians don't have a family doctor. In Ontario, the government spends an estimated $200 million dollars per year in physicians' fees to treat people with colds. The same government estimates a heath care fraud of $1 billion dollars per year. In 2007, wait times in Canada for surgical or other therapeutic treatment were at an all time high of 18.3 weeks.
Typical appeal to emotion ad campaign.
Sophie Monk did the same kind of PETA shoot. Then she went out for K.F.C. Oops.
