(Fox News) - This year’s White House Easter Egg roll will be eggs-actly what the bunny ordered. The environmentally concerned bunny, that is.
A White House announcement Monday said the eggs at this year’s April 5 roll will be made from paperboard that contains no wood fibers from endangered forests, is recyclable and features vegetable-oil based inks and a water-based coating.
What’s more, they’ll come in purple, pink, green and yellow and feature the stamped signatures of both President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

That's what I was thinking when I received mine in the mail today. Probably made from trees felled in snowy owl territory in the tropical rain forest.
The surprise inside? A prepared Democrat voter registration card.
Just print your name and sign at the bottom...
I’m 61, our kids grew up and moved out long ago.
Yet, I would be a very grumpy guy if I didn’t have my colored easter eggs once a year. Of course, I now have 26 hens to help out with that. ;>)
It’s coming. All Easter Egg Rolls must have these enviro friendly eggs.
Ya know, eventually I am going to have to explain to these a$$holes, perhaps even demonstrate, - the carbon footprint of several very important items that they continually over look:
9mm S & W - 15 rnd mag's - lots of them.
7.62 x 39
7.62 x 54 - I just got this toy - OMG!!!!
7.62 x 51
Just keep this crap up........
Empty nesters as well. Just starting to have have fun with the two grandkids. :)
Who knew that plain old chicken eggs were NOT environmentally friendly. I thought you couldn’t get more EF than vinager & food coloring. sigh
nanny states and progressives happened.
We have 8 grandkids and love every minute of it.
Fiberboard eggs. Not just for breakfast anymore.
“We have 8 grandkids and love every minute of it.”
Great and fun time of year for them and us and a great time to continue the traditions. The heck with the rest that stuff. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you too.
We stll do it that way and so do others.
Eggactly!
This is in no way about environmentally-friendly Easter eggs. These “idols” want their stamp and names on these eggs so that every home displays them for all to worship.
I don’t remember the protocol from previous admins. but seem to recall a story about the boiling and dyeing of thousands of Easter eggs.
BTW, why can we still call these “Easter” eggs? Doesn’t that represent a Christian holiday???
This is a joke, right?
