This morning I was in a shop. An entire isle was dedicate to
air, Nike air! I thought.
No, Air cleaner, Air Purifier, Air Humidifier…
It is interesting to look at how products are organized on shops'
shelves.
This one looked more like a search engine result page…
And searching by air what is next?
The 24 hour tradable pollution permits.
This means, if I can afford it, while every one else has to
slow down a bit, I can buy a permission to pollute and be faster
than everyone else. I guess this has something to do whit the
XL way of thinking.
It is so hard to resize the perception of needs? S, M, L, XL,
XXL.
Here the banner for a XXL Solar Tower in Australia. First large-scale
solar thermal power station capable of generating enough electricity
to supply 200.000 typical Australian homes.
How are the typical Australian homes made? No idea!
I know how the typical European homes are made. When I was a
child, Joe Colombo was designing entire living cells compose
of "functional stations", while my mother was running
after households-electric: washing machine, vacuum cleaner,
and TV.
Finally someone invented the colour TV, fiction had such a hard
time to replace reality in B/W. All this to be able to watch
over the perfectly clean floor the firs man walking on the moon.
I had a look on the microchips for macro utilities department,
I started to wander if I should replace my old machines with
new ones, well there is always a good reason, new machines pollute
less than old ones.
But I still haven't found much about the place in the world
made to be the rubbish dump for my old technologies.
