Damn right.
Give me Earth Hour, and I'll give you 1,000 megawatts of light!
How big of a footprint are all these enviro studies causing?
Makes me want to turn on every light in the house and crank the A/C up. I won’t, not because I’m concerned about my footprint but because I want to be able to pay the electric bill.
We conservative rural dwellers likely have a much smaller carbon footprint than the idiots who spend all their time worrying about it.
Expecially when the supposed greenie has a larger footprint than you do. Ie Al Gore
I react negatively to any and all claims of products being green or lowering someone carbon footprint. I will not buy anything that uses ‘being green’ as a part of their advertisement and adapt to develop a hostility to such company. Greenies are the enemy.
How sad and empty does somebody's life have to be for their self esteem to be invested in their environmental footprint? That's just pathetic.
Clean up after yourself. Be a good steward of the planet that God has given to us to live on. That’s a message most sane people would react positively too. But sniffing around after us to record our “carbon footprint” may tend to tick most people off. Then there’s the whole Al Gore inspired, “we will all die if we don’t turn our environmental lives over to the government” nonsense.
I have committed myself to maintaining a carbon footprint smaller than Algore’s. The best thing about this is that there is no way I could match his numbers, even if I tried.
I always get depressed when I take the global footprint test and find that I can’t quite make the 10-planet level ... you know, where the read-out says, “If everyone on the planet used the same level of energy as you, it would take “x” Earth-like planets to meet the energy demand.” So far, I’ve only been able to make it up to 9.75 planets.
Alinksy at work here. Don't blame your stupid ideas blame the people who reject them
I windor what these idiots told the students and how much they paid them to be in the study,
I “shove uncomfortable feelings of guilt or complicity” out of my mind by recreating that party scene in the original ROLLERBALL movie, where a bunch of trees get blown up.
After that, I wallow in a drug and alcohol fueled haze, and cut myself punching a mirror. Then a bunch of trees get blown up, like in APOCALYPSE NOW.
Finally, I drink my mug of coffee as I use advanced weaponry to blow up a really giant tree, like in AVATAR.
Hollywood is very informative on how to treat the environment. It’s really quite cathartic.
He avoided a perfect score by burning his garbage instead of composting.
Earth hour for me:
5 kinds of kimchee at my favorite Korean restaurant.
I’m trying to grow my Carbon Ass Print (CAP).

CAP, it’s not just about footprints anymore........
Isn't this what it comes down to with most of the environmental left? It's less about actually accomplishing any positive results, and more about feeling good about themselves.
Heaping religious guilt on people has its limits.
And for the tree people, environmentalism is a religion.
