It's not about being green, you're just cheap

You know nowadays there are companies who like saying that they're being green and that they're trying to save the trees, reduce CO2, save the animals, reduce pollution bla bla bla. To be honest, they're actually just trying to save money and then cover it up by being green. I mean how fucking cheap these companies can be? To prove my point I'll give you some examples.

My university is trying to reduce paper load. Sure with the internet and stuff they can reduce paperload and stuff like that but actually they're just trying to save money from buying papers and buying ink catridges. If they're so interested in reducing pollution and stuff why don't they install solar panels and change their whole fleet of service vehicles with electric or hybrid vehicles? Hell since you so gila green might as well don't use vehicles at all in the university campus.

My bank also another one. They want to encourage people to go online and be 'paperless'. You know if you say that you want to save administration costs and stuff like that then maybe I would understand and go paperless. However they really piss me off by saying I should go green and make it as though if you opt for monthly mail statements you're like a ultimate polluter and make you feel and look bad. Because of that I still opt to have monthly statements just to be a jerk.

In conclusion, companies just be honest and say that you want to cut costs. I can understand that as everyone wants to reduce expenditure. However, when you say you want to be green then seriously you're just lying. It makes me hate greenies!
