I'd like to see Republicans start to strike back at this stuff. They could begin by mandating a rate of 80% recycled materials used in the production of newspapers and magazines. Next they could mandate a 50% necessity of using "green" energy in their operations, including transportation and travel. They would have to certify that no chemicals were discharged into the environment in the manufacture of the newsprint they buy.

On to Hollywood. There should also be a mandate here of 50% use of "green" energy in film productions, including all transportation and travel. Only all organic, locally-produced food can be provided on the sets, unless food is standard vending machine fare, such as chips, candy and soda. Strict compliance with hours worked per person per day, or heavy, confiscatory fines.

On to tax-exempt charitable foundations. They should be mandated to distribute 20% of their wealth every year. This would include colleges and universities. Expenditures for fundraising cannot exceed 20% of the funds raised. Of course, there would be the obligatory requirement of a 50% use of "green" energy in their operations, including transportation and travel.

Here's another. All government workers, including and especially elected officials, must drive the vehicles that exceed the average MPG proposal.
