Green guilt? What is that?

I've heard of 'green with envy', like everybody else is green with envy at USA.

Got no such thing as green guilt. The recycle bin the company gave me remains far under my desk and is used for storage. We recycle cans at home only because we pay by the bag for trash pickup but not for recycled garbage. I probably committed a crime by buying oil based polyurethane out of state and transported it back home for my hardwood floors. The state in which I reside is only allowed to sell Low VOC products. It happens to be my career expertise and I know the good stuff works better.

I went through that green garbage back in the 70s and i ain’t buying it again. Truck loads of wet papers sitting and rotting etc. That being said, I do try to only put natural stuff in my house. But I am not replacing a paid for car with a smart car, or reusing cloth grocery bags which are filthy and disgusting and even the sackers here loathe them.

Consumers in India, China, and Brazil led the pack

What? Mexico City didn't make the list? Well, yeah, the consumers might lead the pack, but the industry in these places might not score so well on the scale. Let's see . . . Ganges River, open sewers in Calcutta, clearing the rain forest, lots of burning of coal in industry without much to mitigate output. I don't begrudge these folks having their industrial expansion, but it is laughable to think that Americans feeling guilty and refilling water bottles would make more of a dent for the local environment than modern sanitation and industrial methods.

Screw the National Geographic. Same with Smithsonian Magazine. I used to look forward to it coming. No more. It has a new editor recently and it really creates a vacuum now. Just more glowbull warming, liberal claptrap evolution tripe. :(

What's to feel guilty about?

Global temperatures have been declining for 2000 years when you don't use the fraudulent data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to start the global warming hysteria.

I almost bought a Green 2013 Boss 302 over the weekend.

I couldn’t get the Wife to go along, so she must be a Gross Polluter.

1) there is no public transportation here
2) there is no recycle program here
3) you better believe I’m turning on the A/C in 100 degree weather
4) there’s no bleepin’ way I’m getting in a teeny tiny mico sized car
5) I don’t give a treehugger’s behind what my score is
6) Green guilt should mean guilt of green companies stealing my hard earned tax dollars.

ROTFL! We've always told the world to take a flying leap, and on the 'green agenda', we haven't changed a bit, because we know what's behind the push for 'sustainable development' internationally.

Way to go, America!!

China is the most fake green country, but the results speak for themselves. There is some sort of green propaganda on many of their products for internal consumption but people raised under Communism don’t buy into the propaganda any more than conservatives do.

This year Americans ranked last in sustainable behavior, as they have every year since 2008.

I just realized I haven't washed and waxed my SUV in a while. Perfect motivation.

I got a 34. Unlike hippies, if I need say, a tomato I could care less if it was grown in a local organic farm two miles away or two states away and had to guess on a few.

We are more restricted and pay more to satisfy arbitrary EPA regulations than any nation on earth, while our people are on food stamps and losing their homes. WTH?

Americans are not as easily manipulated by the citizens of the world as are people of other nations.

If we were overpopulated like India, we would be have to conserve resources more to survive. If the globalists get their way, we will be as overpopulated as India.

“Least Green...”

Right, and Madonna’s as pure as the driven snow.

I guess the NG staff has never visited Calcutta, or Manilla, or Davao, etc.
