Mutual exclusivity

An ad in The Globe and Mail for the Bloor-Yorkville shopping area has one bubble with the text, "We're cultivating a greener bloor with wider walkways & greener spaces" and the next one with "Over 7000 parking spaces." I suppose, they may be parking the cars on the walkways and green spaces, but aren't these contradictory promises? It's that whole promise of "you can be environmentally sensitive and not change anything about your life, you can reduce your carbon footprint and consume material and energy at the same rate you've always consumed them."


Ah, no.
