Green Gadget



While the focus of my research has shifted away from the talk of green on this continent, I still find myself curious about the form it takes in mass media. As revealed in this recent advertising for the 17" Mac. The strokes are like that of a crayon, which seemingly suggests low-tech and therefore no carbon emissions?

While I'm a Mac lover and value the fact that companies are changing their wayward practices because of climate change etc., I'm struck by how this gets messaged to the public. Organic strokes are seemingly the way to tell someone that something is "more green." Do you notice this?

Less Than $1 A Day

I came across this on my walk home from school.
It struck me how this statement means one thing for the New York Times and something completely other in light of assessing those who must live on this amount.
A documentary series that investigates this further.
