So the Rotary Club of Chatham, New Brunswick decided to raise some money for a new eco-centre, a place for “promoting education and environmental awareness”. They put their heads together to find an appropriate fund-raising idea, and came up with this. We’re promoting an eco-centre, let’s give away a Hummer!
Idiots. I’m guessing one of the smiling faces in that photo owns a Hummer dealership.
Paint me un-surprised. In NB, JD Irving Ltd keeps winning awards for their “generous” contributions to “the environment” while real environmental organizations get chastized for standing in the way of “progress” and endangering people’s jobs [their Irving jobs mostly]. It’s insane.
I have to wonder, though, if nobody on the committee that decided on that prize spoke up and said, “You know, it IS an eco-centre. Do you think a Hummer is the best way to promote that. Maybe a Prius instead? Or a SmartCar? Or a bunch of way cool mountain bikes? No? Hummers are cool? I’m a communist? Well, okay then.”
