The Amazing son in law Chapter 7807
The middle-aged man, indignant, retorted, “You’re definitely not from Northern Europe! At least 98% of our electricity generation in Northern Europe comes from renewable energy sources, and the vast majority of our electricity is generated by hydropower. How could we possibly emit greenhouse gases?!”
The other party was clearly caught off guard by his remarks, and then retorted sharply, “You’re just making things up. You say renewable energy accounts for 98%, but does that really mean it does? Why should I believe you?”
The middle-aged man said angrily, “You can check it yourself! Don’t you have a cell phone?”
At that moment, a little girl behind the environmentalist quietly checked her phone, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, “Charlie, I just checked, and renewable energy does indeed account for 98% of electricity generation in Northern Europe…”
The environmentalist’s face flushed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, “So what? Do you know where your car was made? If I’m not mistaken, your Tesla is very likely made in Germany. Tesla’s factory construction in Germany has severely disrupted our ecological balance, causing many small animals to lose their homes. Moreover, coal-fired power accounts for nearly half of Germany’s electricity generation. In other words, although you, this hypocrite, are not polluting the air in Northern Europe by driving your Tesla, the German people are polluting their own country’s air and harming their own animals in order to build this Tesla! And the culprits are hypocrites like you!”
“I…” The middle-aged man was speechless with anger, then angrily questioned, “Do you people have any sense of reason? I paid for this car, it wasn’t given to me for free by the German people. I paid Tesla the full purchase price, Tesla paid the taxes due to the German government, and paid the salaries to its German employees. Even if the car produced greenhouse gases during its manufacturing process, I still borne the financial costs!”
After saying that, he pointed to the hoodie the other person was wearing and questioned, “You accuse my car of emitting greenhouse gases during its manufacturing process, then let me ask you, doesn’t the clothing you’re wearing emit greenhouse gases during its manufacturing process?”
The other party was once again rendered speechless by the questioning, but the young woman with Asian features was the first to find a way to respond. She rushed forward and shouted, “You hypocrite! Instead of reflecting on your own problems, you maliciously smear us! Do you know that all our clothes are made from recyclable and biodegradable materials? Moreover, the raw materials are all recycled from discarded clothing donated by people all over the world. Even if the raw materials emitted greenhouse gases during the initial production process, the culprit is not us, but those who owned them before recycling and reprocessing! And in order not to add burden to the earth, we never buy new clothes, only wear recycled and reused clothing! And look at yourself, all dressed up in a suit, looking all respectable. What brand is your suit? Boss or Armani? Do you know how much extra pollution the earth has to bear to produce your clothes?”
Her sudden barrage of attacks not only stunned the opponent, but even surprised her close comrades.
charlie wade watched as two environmental protesters whispered among themselves: “Are the clothes we’re wearing really recycled? They’re so damn dirty, so disgusting…”
Another person whispered, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. All these clothes were ordered in bulk online by the chairman. How could they be recycled and reprocessed? I checked the care label. They are made in Vietnam and are 100% cotton. You can rest assured.”
The man then asked, “Are you sure? We do receive a lot of donated used clothing from people around the world. What if we actually take a batch of it and reprocess it?”
The other person laughed and said, “Don’t be silly. Being an environmentalist is just a business. Those donated clothes, ostensibly for recycling and reuse, are actually packaged up and sold to Africa by our higher-ups. There are people in Africa who specialize in buying used clothes from all over the world. They buy them by the ton and then distribute them to distributors in various places by the kilogram. Those distributors then sort and select the clothes to sell normally. For us, this is a business with no cost. We can sell at least several thousand tons a year. Otherwise, where do you think we get the funds for protests, eating, drinking, and having fun all over Europe, plus travel and accommodation expenses?”
