plachon Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 So where's the news content of this piece? 5 pics of a Silpa-Archa clan Minister, is no substitute for some actual news about how this "going green together" mullarkey is going to work in practice. What has the minister done to lower his carbon footprint and is he setting an example for the Thai people to follow? Or is it like the UK Tory's myth that "we are all in it together", when they announced their post-2008 economic crash austerity plan, that actually took money from the poor and redistributed it to the rich? Seems more like pinkwash than greenwash to me, given the fashion choice of the Thai environment minister and his team. I think we should be spared Vol 2 of this charade, unless there's more substance to the spin. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Would you think a minister could employ a farang to translate his slogan? What does '“Talk to Top Go Green Together Vol.1”, mean? I think I'll give vol. 2 a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "talk to top" is ok in this case. The problem is that the slogan itself just sucks, not the translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
