Chapter 7104
At this moment, a young girl behind the environmentalist quietly checked her phone,
Then leaned over and whispered in his ear,
“Charlie, I just checked, and it’s true that renewable energy accounts for 98% of Scandinavia’s electricity generation…”
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 momentarily speechless with anger,
Then, I angrily questioned,
“Don’t 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 bore the financial costs!”
He then pointed to the man’s hoodie and demanded,
“You accuse my car of emitting greenhouse gases during its manufacturing process.”
“Then let me ask you, didn’t your clothes emit greenhouse gases during their manufacturing process?”
The man was once again rendered speechless,
But the young Asian woman was the first to find a way to respond,
Rushing forward and shouting,
“You hypocrite, you don’t understand!”
Instead of addressing their own problems, they maliciously smear us!”
“Do you know that all our clothes are made from recyclable and biodegradable materials?”
“And the raw materials are all recycled from discarded clothing donated by people all over the world.”
“Even if the initial raw materials emitted greenhouse gases during production, the culprit isn’t us.”
“But those who owned them before recycling and reprocessing!”
“And to avoid burdening the planet, we never buy new clothes,”
“Only wear recycled and reused garments!”
“Look at yourself, impeccably dressed in a suit,”
“Looking all respectable—what brand is your suit?”
“Boss or Armani?”
“Do you know how much extra pollution the planet has to bear to produce your clothes?”
Her sudden barrage of criticism not only stunned the other party but also shocked her close ally.
Charlie watched as two environmental protesters whispered among themselves:
“Are the clothes we’re wearing really recycled?”
“They’re so damn dirty, so disgusting…”
The other whispered back,
“Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
“These clothes were ordered in bulk online by our chairman.”
“How could they be recycled and reprocessed?”
“I checked the care labels.”
“They’re made in Vietnam and are 100% cotton.”
“You can rest assured.”
The first person asked, “Are you sure?”
“We do receive a lot of donated used clothing from people around the world.”
“What if they actually took a batch and reprocessed it?”
The other person laughed and said,
“Don’t be silly.”
“Being an environmentalist is just a business.”
“Those donated clothes, ostensibly for recycling,”
“They 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 by the kilogram to distributors in various places.”
“Those distributors then sort and sort the clothes for normal sale.”
“For us, this is a risk-free business.”
“We can sell at least several thousand tons a year.”
“Otherwise, where do you think we get the money for protests, eating, drinking, and having fun all over Europe?”
“Plus travel and accommodation expenses?”
