arrived the other day
with headlines about saving energy.
It urged its readers
to use smaller fonts
in e-mails, and to print in grey rather than black.
It did suggest that people not keep on buying
or renting the latest smartphone – but
needless to say,
it did not advise the population of the
département of Tarn-et-Garonne
to wash themselves and their clothes a little less
(some people shower every day
and wear underclothes only once),
nor to stop buying bottled water,
nor to buy fewer (or second-hand)
world-throttling clothes...or
gadgets that they don't need –
much less to give up one-use diapers/nappies
and think long and deeply before adding
another mega-consumer to the population.
