Google e o companie cit se poate de verde, o stim cu totii. Iar in ziua de azi e very trendy sa fii verde, o stim la fel de bine (fara sa ne uitam la eticheta tricoului personal din bumbac ecologic). Nu e clar insa cite sacrificii sint dispusi semenii nostri sa faca in numele planetei.
Sefii de la Google au hotarit sa lase peluza din fata sediului central din Mountain View in seama unor capre. Adica care capre sa haleasca frumusel iarba si sa se ocupe si de fertilizarea ei cu ocazia asta. Outsourcing deci.
Asadar caprele angajate pe baza de contract fac ce stiu ele cel mai bine: maninca iarba, se caca si sint simpatice. Problemele abia acum incep insa, caci PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) zice ca doamnele nu-s tratate cum trebuie.
PETA has no problem with letting goats do what goats want to do, but we do have concerns about how the goats may be transported, whether they are provided with access to shelter during storms and shade as well as water during hot weather, where they are housed when they aren’t “working,” what kind of veterinary care they receive, and what becomes of old and/or excess goats. PETA has found over and over that whenever animals are used by a business to make money, corners are cut and animals often suffer as a result. And that really gets our goat, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Si, colac peste pupaza, cica demersul asta nici nu ar fi foarte eco-friendly. Oamenii cei rai zic ca daca pui la socoteala tot angrenajul si transportul, gaselnita cu caprele nu e nici mai ieftina si nici mai putin poluanta decit banalele masini de tuns iarba. Eh, dar ce mai conteaza daca cistigul de imagine e major iar planeta e subiect numa’ bun de muls.
