Little reflexion

Here is a little Q/A I have while reading this:

  • Q: What is the objective of advertising for Appropedia/Ekopedia?
  • A: To have some funding in order to improve our project.
  • Q: What is the objective of advertising for the advertiser?
  • A: To sell more.
  • Q: What is the direct effect of advertising?
  • A: More consumption.
  • Q: Is Appropedia/Ekopedia having the philosophy that "more consumption is good for earth or society"?
A: In my personal opinion, no. I personally do not trust capitalism (or any other economic/political theory applied yet) being able to solve our society problems. I personally believe that we must reduce our consumption and I believe in Appropriate technologies.
  • Q: Is ethical advertising possible?
  • A: As it is said, "ethical is a matter of degree" or a matter or perception. As an example: Would it be ethical to do advertising for a great green car company? May be for some people, but not in my opinion because I believe cars (event the greenest one) are not good for earth and our society. I personally prefer urbanism that promote cities without cars.
  • Q: Would it be possible to filtrate advertising (white or black listing) only for really great projects?
  • A: May be. But still, I do not know such solution.
  • Q: So, would it be possible to have other source(s) of funding?
  • A: I believe donations and crow funding are a good way to finance project like ours. May be, we could also find NGO that could help our projects.
