GrowCake believes the term ‘Carbon Footprint’ means, essentially, NOTHING. Nothing unless you’re a shareholder at BP, British Petroleum, or a Creative Director at Ogilvy & Mather.
So we’re saying GrowCake hates the environment and climate change is a hoax and Drill, Baby, Drill?!
No...
What we’re saying is the term ‘Carbon Footprint’ is the 1%’s latest attempt at ‘Rules for Thee, Not For Me’.
According to it’s own ‘origin of concept’, ‘Carbon Footprint’ was “popularized by a $250 million advertising campaign by the oil and gas company BP in 2005 designed by Ogilvy which was a plan to divert attention from fossil fuel companies to individual consumers.”
According to The Guardian, “From 2004 to 2006, a $100m-plus a year BP marketing campaign ‘introduced the idea of a ‘carbon footprint’ before it was a common buzzword’, according to the PR agent in charge of the campaign. The targets of this campaign were the ‘routine human activities’ and ‘lifestyle choices’ of ‘individuals’ and the ‘average American household’. In 2019, BP ran a new ‘Known your carbon footprint’ campaign on social media.”
So we’re saying companies, of which GrowCake is one, can never do anything positive for humanity and any/all initiatives are merely profit-seeking facades?!
Sort of…
