(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.

meanwhile, how many trees “died” (and how much money was spent) to send out millions of pre-Census letters to be sure and let us know that we’ll be getting the “real” Census form in a week or so?

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.

I'm surprised it doesn't have an environmentally friendly photo of them. Maybe that's the surprise inside.

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. ;>)

Does that include the carbon foot print?

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........

“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!

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???
