I must have looked
stupid, that is the only thing I can think of. There is no other
explanation for how these people really thought I would buy into
their program....
Knock knock
Hello, sir. I know you, like most of us, are very concerned about he
environment.
:Well yes, I am.
(Hoping no one realizes the three cars in the driveway belong to the
two people in this apartment).
: Our company is here
for people like you. Responsible people who want to reduce, if not
eliminate their carbon footprint.
Now I am not a
complete Jerk. I am all for reducing my carbon foot print and all
that shit, but eliminate.... yeah, I am not a vegan tree hugger
either.
:
For $25.00 a month our company ensures that all the energy you use in
your home comes from renewable resources. (Sounds good until my
brain actually kicked in)
:
How?
She
blinked at me for a minute, like she was shocked I would ask. :Well,
we make sure all the power coming in to your home comes from wind, or
solar power.
:Yeah,
but how? As far as I know there is no possible way to separate my
power from everyone elses.
:
But you reduce your carbon footprint...
:Is
the money used to support the growth of renewable energy?
:
Well, no, we just... We make sure all the energy you use comes from
renewable resources
:
So basically on paper I am a good green consumer, but I'm just
passing off my carbon footprint to others?
To
the girl who I probably ruined her ideal summer job of helping the
environment: I really am sorry, but I'm not paying you $25.00 a month
to pretend I am helping the environment.

How indeed, glad to you put that question to her
ReplyDeleteI'm not much one for blind faith... and I'm cheap;)
DeleteI am like you, I would want to know how they were going to do this.. nothing wrong in asking:)
ReplyDeleteI imagine too many people did sign up without asking though, because she looked confused.
DeleteFunny, no one else thought to ask her the same thing? I never realized the world was really all THAT stupid. But then, I have to remember who voted for that idiot from Texas for President Obama came to the Executive Mansion. Nice job, buddy!
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing Roger, but she genuinely looks confused, like she thought she explained it.
DeleteWhat is it with the trend of door knockers asking us to pay a monthly amount? Apparently it isn't enough to screw us over once, they want to do it on a monthly basis with a nice convenient direct deposit.
ReplyDeleteIt saves them the hassle of hitting us up 12 times a year.
DeleteDon't even get me started. Got a phone call from my very pissed off mother, JWs tried to convert my almost 14 year old brother today, she was in the bath. They never even asked if his parents were home before asking, "Are you concerned with crime in the wrold today... that was not God's plan...". That just isn't right.
