This is purely propaganda meant to trick people into thinking the Pentagon is green.
HOW IS IT GREEN WASHING?
Bruh you've been answered. No need to yell.
That wasn't an answer, it was a poorly voiced opinion.
Dude, this conversation is a great example of letting perfect being the enemy of good. Organization takes a step in the right direction, and wack jobs come out of the woodwork because it wasn't a complete change that would have taken decades to finish
We've been 'accepting' the good in earnest now for around 50-60 years under the modern global political hegemony. How is that going? Has the world been improving? We get bold decisive action when it relates to things that make life worse for all peoples, and we get incrementalism when it comes to actions which would improve peoples lives. This is the true cost of incrementalism. Its why the world is fucked. No. Halfway solutions aren't good enough. In fact they are actually worse than no solution at all because the take the space and opportunity where a significant action can be made.
I hear what you are saying but it sounds like "Hey, we have a hole in this boat but instead of trying to stop most of the water from getting in, we're just gonna let it sink, swim to shore and build a new boat."
Have you ever had a hole in your boat?
Guess what. If you don't fully solve having a hole in your boat, you still have a hole in your boat.
You need to completely fix the fucking hole or you are well and truly fucked.
Taking the time to do a halfway repair instead of fully fixing the issue is how you end up at the bottom of the sea.
But don't the Titanic's deck chairs look so nice now that we've rearranged them?
