Tidbits from Life in Connecticut #1

By arzhou | June 6, 2010

Just thought I would share some good old photos from my time in Connecticut, I actually took quite a lot of photos but never bothered to upload them:

This was from 350 day where I joined the local greenpeace & “regular protest gang” at the town center of stamford, holding up a piece of cardboard. Honestly I doubt what they did had any effect, since the different signs did not have a clear and definite message for people on the streets. The most common sign they had was “Honk for 350″… I doubt anyone really KNOWS what that meant. Although one of the activists said that “Oh people will be curious and google it”, I highly doubt so. I know I wouldn’t.

But to that particular experience did show me how ignorant some if not most americans are about the global situation especially on sustainability.  One of the activist was trying to talk to an american on the street about climate change and that american was saying how he will not do anything until China does something. Already a few things were going in the back of my mind. (these are just random rants btw)

1) Why must you even WAIT for China to do something… or wait for anyone else for that matter

2) Oh wait… isn’t China already taking the lead in terms of pumping money into clean tech (much more than what the US govt is putting in now even with ARPA-E etc) and they have lots of clean tech policies too?

3) Random angry rants about SUVs guzzling gas, people not realising what they do impacts other people around the globe.. think about the island states that will be underwater soon!

Anyway kudos to those folks for trying to raise awareness, points for effort la… just that the execution might have been better thought through.
