"Flight shaming" is the word of the day in Europe. What it means is that,particularly for leisure,environmental Maoists say you shouldn't fly anywhere...too much pollution. They want to shame people into walking I guess.

We've got a flight booked for next January...about 20 hours of flying...each way.

We won't feel the slightest bit of shame.

And that brain damaged Swedish girl can snarl all she wants.

Don’t forget - flight attendants pollute for free.

Since I cut cable I fall asleep watching episodes of whatever and it streams allllllll night.

I don’t feel guilty, I don’t care.

Now, what will all of those incel liberals do now that jerking off to pron is bad for the environment.

Since we cut our cable and stream, our electric useage is down about 15%.

Tv goes on at about 6 pm and we pull the plugs at about 9 pm.

We don’t watch pro football/basketball/hockey or anything dealing with fake sports with the exception of the SF Giants.

We do watch the SF giants often and stream that.

We never watch local or national fake news. We pay about a $ per day watching/streaming the Giants.

Nor do we watch ABCNNBC. We use our smartphones and chrome books to keep up with the world, our relatives and friends.

Our grandson rigged a simple on off multi plug power strip switch. When we go to bed or leave the home, the power strip switch is turned off. That turns off our tv, wifi booster and the prime tv thingie.

That eliminates any watcher/listener/observer devise
controlled by Amazon/Google/MS/????! When, we decide to watch tv, we push the on button on the power strip and a minute or so later the tv comes on and we stream something.

As noted that goes off at about 9 pm and doesn’t come on until about 6 pm the next day.

Then our smart phones and chrome books are charged over night for the next day.

Comcast and Dish must have raised their prices. Two friends with Comcast and 1 with Dish want to talk to me about streaming with Comcast business.

Well, this is amazing. 26 posts and no one has made a crack about that 2nd leading source of carbon emissions.

I wonder if the researchers were to take all the heavy breathing associated with 2nd place into account, it would actually be in 1st place.

Heavy breathing while watching or during manufacture?

Just cut the cord after 30 years. Frequent flyer miles? A break for paying the bill on time? Seasoned citizen discount? NOPE! Just paid off the final amount - and it went up even more! Unreal. Streaming will kill the cable companies. Fingers crossed.

Tech researchers suggest users disable autoplay and refrain from streaming high-def,

Oh, oky, I'll watch a shitty picture, but only if these "activists" do their part for Mother Earth and stop breathing. Deal?

Some people in this country have stop being fed. Maybe the government can stop welfare and that will curtail some of the problem.

Climate Change Believer: I’ll just stay home and watch TV. That way I’m not causing any harm by traveling or wasting fossil fuels.

Climate Scientists: No! That’s horrible too! And stop breathing so much!

YOU WILL BE MADE TO CARE.

And while I'm watching a whole season of 24 back-to-back, I leave my SUV outside running WITH the A/C cranked!

Just so long as you save some electricity by leaving the radio off....

Liberals next move will be to ban Western civilization. Its the main culprit suspected of perpetrating climate change.

Besides saving money via the cafeteria approach, only paying for what we watch is important.

Watching the shows we like, when we want to watch them and on our demand will also help kill the cables.

I liked Timex. They had some really thin ones.

Or, the thicker Casio dive watches...

Hmmm...

I guess it’s time to watch “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.”

Again
