I think make t-shirts for that isn't good for ecologia
How come every other team but the spurs is wearing them?
Did the league not send them to the spurs to make them look like they are not sympathetic to the cause?

fcuk green week. and the enviorment i just want the spurs to b readyy n healthy come 4/18
With all the private charter miles NBA teams do in a year, having a "green week" is as hypocrite as you can be.
If the NBA somewhat care about environment, they would try to lower as much as possible private charter miles by working on teams' schedules and by sometimes using regular flights.
I don't think Cavs had green.
For what it's worth, they showed an 'NBA Cares' spot during the game with Udoka, he was wearing one.

The Spurs like recycling, old, used up trash from other teams.
NBA's "Green Week" is an absolute SHAM. Why?
1. The NBA plays in huge, air-conditioned spaces that consume massive quan ies of energy (do the buy renewable? no, so that means coal burning), and which also embody huge quan ies of energy from construction.
2. The NBA sells highly processed food (very energy and water intensive) at games in disposable containers, with no recycling system in sight.
3. NBA teams mainly travel on private charter jets all over the country, which is highly polluting and resource depleting.
...and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on.
For the NBA to claim any green credentials whatsoever is absurd. You can't just say that you are green and dream that that makes it so - that is called GREENWASH, and this is a perfect case of it.
Now, if the NBA bought all renewable energy to power the arenas, required vendors to source their food locally and present it either in returnable containers, or ins uted a compulsory recycling program in every arena, and used more sustainable transport, they might be able to claim some green credentials.
Don't believe the hype.
the entire "Green" cause.
What is wrong with you? The "green cause" is about saving the environment that YOU and EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING is entirely dependent upon! The water you drink, the air you breathe, the food you eat, all of the energy and other products you consume, come FROM THE ENVIRONMENT. Natural systems start failing (which is happening already) and so will human societies. Do you think all this around you is founded on magic, built on fairy dust? No, it's built on soil and water health, it's built on well-functioning ecosystems, it's built on rational use of non-renewable resources. You are ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, just like the rest of us. Can't you see that?
People like you make me sick. You can't even understand the ing obvious.
Don't look down your nose at other people. People like you make me sick.
What, for expressing an opinion that people who say " the environment" make me feel ill? They do. They make me feel queasy in the stomach. They are the kind of people who act entirely without any thought for the consequences of their consumption now or in the future, and I find that selfish and insulting. It's my world too, and it's a world for 6.8billion other people (and rapidly climbing), and just because you can buy it, and waste it, doesn't make it right. Your rights end where mine begin, and that means that if you behave with blatant disregard for the environment, which is common to us all, then you are stepping on my rights, and I am allowed to object to that.
I laugh at your at ude though. You think I'm being superior when actually I'm just amazed and angry that human beings can be so self-absorbed and short-sighted. Take a look at yourself. Why are you angry at me? Probably because deep down you also feel that there is a problem with the way we treat the environment but don't do anything about it.
And before you pull out the "what males you so special" card, nothing, absolutely nothing makes me special. I am just another speck of sand on the endless shore, just like you. But I am careful about my impact on the planet, I recognise that every act of consumption has an environmental cost, and I have changed my consumption patterns accordingly. I have about 1/4 of the footprint that you have whilst enjoying the same great lifestyle I've always had. Anyone can do it if they put in a modi of effort, and it will even save you money.
No, you have it completely ass-backwards like usual. Yes, you have rights, we all have rights as humans. But don't act like you are not a condescending jack off.
There are ways to say things without being a d-bag and coming off snide. Don't church it up, you were being pompous. Just like you are amazed that some people don't believe in global warming, I am amazed I have to explain to functioning adults that you can get your point across in a palatable way without being a jerk.

So, I was responding to a guy who said this:
And I pointed out that all of us are entirely dependent on the environement.
And that makes me superior? Okay, sure, in your little world it might, but not mine. It has nothing to do with superiority, it has to do with the nonsensical violence of a comment like that... " the environment" is what he is basically saying, and someone that stupid needs it pointed out to him that the environment supports everything in his life. If pointing that out makes me a jerk, then that's what I am.
No, I'm not condescending at all. I made a bunch of very clear and valid points about humanity's dependence on the planet, and before that the NBA's ridiculous Greenwash. I probably could have left off the "people like you make me sick comment", but it is the truth - I feel nauseous when I see comments like " the entire "Green" cause", because it is people like him that predominate, and it's people like him that are chewing up the planet without any regard for the consequences. It's that at ude that is preventing any real change towards long term sustainability.
We have a winner.
So, you've never been a little harsh on a message board?
Get off your own high horse, wad. I'm not teaching a bunch of kids here, I'm responding to a wit comment on a message board.
Once again you show your true colors. Believe what I believe or you are " wad". No wonder everyone thinks you are a joke and does not take what you say seriously. Even if you did have a good point, people ignore it because you are a little jerk.So, you've never been a little harsh on a message board?

Should be called green weak. This is a basketball forum, not a snide little elitist talking about shrubs & gas forum.

I see the global warming BS has stretched into the NBA.
I watch sports to get away from BS propaganda like that.
Thank you.
No, I called you a wad because you're taking me to task over one throwaway line aimed at a comment that is sickening. And it is a nauseating comment.
My "true colours" are that I say what I think, and I'm not ashamed of that. It's all about context - would I get in someone's face like that if I were trying to educate them? No way in . I take the softly softly line when I'm teaching because it's more effective. But we are on ST, a message board where very few punches are pulled, so I threw one. Why you give a I wouldn't know.
As for not "taking me seriously", mate, I worked that out long ago. Most people on this board have very set ideas, and nothing that I or anyone else says is going to change them. To believe that posting here is going to somehow change someone else's view of the world is absurd - that's why I mostly gave up debating things long ago, there's no point. These days I have a go if I feel like letting off some steam, and that's it.
Finally, I'm not "little". I'm 6'7". Get your facts straight.
"Snide little elitist" says DPG21920 in judgement over all others. Such irony.
Sorry, where is the elitism in being concerned about the future of the planet?
I didn't start the thread, but according to you I should just ignore anything said in it and have no right to respond to it?
You don't know what you're talking about on this topic, as you have illustrated many a time, and it's not just about global warming. It's also about resource depletion, water and soil toxicity from landfill, and a bunch of other environmental issues. In fact, the central issue here is the NBA claiming to be something it's not.
LMAO, "little" had nothing to do with your physical size. Ironic that someone arguing about global warming tells someone else to "get their facts straight".
Once again you live in your own, little self-absorbed bubble. You cannot see why I am taking you to task about it. Let me explain it so you understand it. I feel the same away about how people treat each other, message board or not, that you do about global warming. So it bothers me. Why should you be able to take "someone to task" about something that bothers you, when I feel how people treat each other is a much more pressing issue than the environment?
