It has been more than 14 months since I gave any pitch/talk about Sampa. Since then, Paul has been doing all the pitches, demos, talks and answering the phone.
This Thursday you'll have a rare opportunity to see me talk about Sampa's past, present and future - from product to business through marketing.
I love when people start talking about saving the planet, buying organic food and having a green life style. Today is Earth Day which can also be known as hypocrite day.
Let me start with all the people that drive a Prius and think they are saving the planet, and I have more than a dozen friends on this category so they will forgive me for telling the truth.
Prius is not a "green car". No hybrid is a green. They are still internal combustion engines which *do* releases all kinds of bad stuff into the air, except instead of putting 100 lbs of shit in the air per year, they put 70 lbs of shit. Yay! Mother Earth thanks you.
Now, let's suppose that everybody on the planet decide to stop using their cars and either ride a bike, use a hydrogen or electric car or walk to work. How much good would this do to global warming and saving the planet? Zilch! Nada! Nothing! Surprised?
Most of the polution that is destroying the planet doesn't come from cars, or from any other source where individuals have control over. They come from airplanes, factories, power plants, big delivery trucks, trains, etc.
Here is a fun fact: A single cross-country airplane trip will probably generate all the carbon monoxide your car will generate all year long*.
The sad part is that I don't have an answer fo us to save the planet, but I know for sure people telling me to not print an email to save some trees is not it!
Happy Earth Day, Earth.
* Need to verify this claim, but I'm pretty sure it's true.
