Re: Advertising has no future
Date: Monday, 9 May 05

 

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
As one of the main pillars of our unsustainable, growth-dependent economy and grossly materialistic, equally unsustainable, lifestyles, advertising has no future. Because it is driving us, quite literally, to plunder our planet, making all efforts to achieve sustainability pointless.
 
It is a problem that virtually everyone (not just you at the NYT) are in denial of, because the solution requires radical changes to our way of life and doing business.

As usual, you will probably dismiss my words (if you read them) as unworthy of a moments thought - and along with them, your own children's future.

 
However, if you are inclined to give it some thought (you should at least make very sure that I'm mistaken), you might like to check out my website at www.spaceship-earth.org
