Enviros Wage War On Christmas Lights
Daily Caller ^ | December 25,2016 | Andrew Follett

Environmentalists are really worried that your home's Christmas lights will ruin the planet.

They worry that both the manufacturing processes of the lights and the electricity needed to power them will generate lots of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. They worry that the lights are manufactured in China and thus the amount of CO2 emissions generated during their construction is effectively unknowable.

Christmas lights aren't the only pressing issue troubling the minds of environmentalists this holiday season. The left-leaning news website Huffington Post encouraged readers to consider the environmental impact of Christmas trees in an article this month comparing the relative "greenness" of real and artificial trees.

Environmentalists are also taking aim at the traditions of gift-wrapping and Christmas cards. A student-run newspaper for the University of Wisconsin suggested last week that gift-givers use inside-out brown grocery bags instead of traditional colorful wrapping paper for their gifts, in order to reduce waste, while a Pennsylvanian county newspaper recommended Tuesday sending out online "e-cards" instead of paper greeting cards in the mail.

When I tell them (the enviro-nazis) that my Christmas Lights are all solar-powered, I am quite certain that they will then go on a rant about how the making of solar panels is environmental unfriendly. These ‘people’ are Mrs Grundy-types, their need is to be the superior morality person. They are never satisfied, will never be satisfied and, as for me and my house, they can stick their version of morality up their collective keisters!

Well, if my Christmas lights kill off a few polar bears, then a large number of seals and I will be extremely happy.

My granddaughter’s cousin works at a hotel and Leonardo Di Caprio was going to stay there but insisted they install one of those Japanese computer toilets.

The great environazi wanted them to pull out a perfectly good toilet and install a new one for a one night stay.

He said he was an Ahole and this kid is a liberal.

Tell the a-holes to turn off their furnaces from October to April to show their commitment.

Enviros are not aware of any of that because their heads are stuck where the sun don’t shine.

“Virtue signaling behavior” is the term you’re looking for.

I hope the libtards are going to give up their ski vacations.

Think of all that electricity that would be saved by not running the ski lifts and making snow.

And the manufacture of skis and clothing, goggles, poles, bindings, ski racks, and any other paraphenalia they use must consume a lot of resources.

How about war on those who burn people alive in massive bonfires in the Middle East?
