#minifigure #plastic #toys
- How many #children will be conceived while the lights are out?
- We turn off everything… OK, cool. Now let's ask beverages sellers to stop selling their liquids in #plastic bottles, and let's ask airlines to stop flying planes for a day.
- How long more will mankind prefer palliatives over solving the real problems?
Todos los años pienso las mismas cosas sobre la #HoraDelPlaneta:
- ¿A cuántos #niños concebirán mientras las luces están apagadas?
- Apagamos todo… OK, genial. Ahora pidámosle a quienes venden bebidas que dejen de venderlas en botellas de #plástico y pidámosle a las aerolíneas que dejen de volar sus aviones por un día.
- ¿Cuánto tiempo más hasta que la humanidad deje de preferir paliativos a resolver los verdaderos problemas?
