Throughout the country, many people are creating ideas that are changing the way we act and think towards the environment. Every person knows that there has been trouble in the environment and that there are many different problems; therefore, many different solutions have been created that some believe to have the potential to help solve the problems we are facing as a nation. As we saw in class, people are even beginning to live in caves because they know that they will have no impact on the destruction of the environment and can live happily in this small residence. Another idea that I found was also on yert.com; a woman, who worked under the Bush administration, believes that we can eliminate the country's problems of obesity and dependence on foreign oil by converting human cellulite into fuel for cars. Like many people who were questioned, I was unaware that a process such as this was even possible.
Plastic surgeons and fast food restaraunts are profound supporters of this idea, but I think its borderline ridiculous. It is absurd that they are encouraging children to become fat so that the children can use their fat to eventually power their cars in the future. The woman that is the spokesperson for this concept says that Chevy has already created cars that would be able to function normally if they were cellulite dependent. However, I still believe that this idea is one of the most ridiculous ideas that I have ever seen or heard about. Most of the country is complaining that many people are overweight, yet this idea is just encouraging more children to become obese, explaining that these children will be seen as "being patriotic". She says that this idea will cause the environment to benefit from it because there are less CO2 emissions, the idea will diminish our dependence on foreign oil, and it would help eliminate the obesity problem in adults in the United States because liposuction will now be acceptable. All of these are pressing issues in society, but I believe there are much more practical solutions to these problems than converting cellulite into car fuel.
What!!!
