“apply for another card”

Just to be clear to all the Freepers out there, my advise in post 37 was meant for all concerned with limiting your carbon-footprint. Very small changes in your life-style can have a huge impact on the environment. Saving one toilet flush per day saves; the energy used to pump the water to your house, reduces the sewage treatment plant work load and saves water used to propel the waste in the sewage system.

Cool, huh?

All your Glock global-warming panty holsters are belong to us.

Series, sometimes we need a little levity around here.

"They'll make good shoe leather."

I don't know the setting or the individuals involved, but the response that flashed through my mind is, "Would you say that if the people you are willing to starve were white?"

Clothing affects climate?????

For most sane people, climate affects what they wear! It’s 10 degrees this morning. These people are morons.

wash your clothes by hand in the sink... dry outside.

I goofed! I took your advice and washed all my underwear.........stepped outside to hang them to dry but forgot its only 17 degrees right now.

For some reason a Seinfeld episode comes to mind....

“only 17 degrees right now”

OK, then drying inside just for a month or so will add humidity to the indoor air and show visitors how committed you are to the cause of “improving global warming”.

You could get some serious splinters from that bamboo underwear.

Let’s see, it was 20 degrees this morning in the high desert, from what I see on the weather channel it is cold and snowing in the east. It is as if there has never been a change in weather or climate throughout the planet, it has to be mankind causing any little change. It all has to do with conceit and narcissism.

Wouldn't that release water vapor an even more dangerous GHG than CO2? #######

“proof positive of global warming”
-Definitely irefuteable evidence of a warming trend.

Check out #3, Landru. I’d say Thackney has made a pretty convincing case. Although I'm not quite sure where we go from here...What say you? ;^)

Actually my wife does dry a lot of our clothes inside during the winter for that reason. Right now my indoor humidity sensor says 32% so every little bit helps.

Around here (VA), we have Central Tractor stores. They carry REAL jeans, Carhart, Dickies, Levis (sans holes), Wranglers, etc., all for about half the price that you'd pay at Old Navy or Peebles.

The only problem is you have to break them in yourself....

HA!!
Aye, that he (?) does. :^)

"Although I'm not quite sure where we go from here...What say you?"

Hmmmmm, lemme look into my crystal ball.
Into the near future I search.
Ahhhh yes, I see women -- all kinds of women.
There're panties too, all colors of panties & it LOOKS like nanotechnology is all the fad.

Things will never be any hotter.

...my friend. ;^)

“A typical washing machine emits 160 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. A clothes dryer puffs out 700 pounds.”

That’s 860 pounds of CO2. Which I can then sell to a greenhouse (makes the plants grow better).

Or, maybe I should start up a CO2 credits scam.
Force all greenhouses, all farmers to pay for the extra CO2.
