Snyder said she has learned through her travels that residents of the world's poorer nations only think they want to emulate America.

Yeah, in reality they want to continue to live in hovels and starve to death.

Here we see the true agenda of these leftist turds

1) I wish I could make a total redistribution [of wealth]," Snyder said. "Things are going to change. They have to,"...

2) (see story: American Environmentalist: 'I'm Ashamed For My Country')

3) Navarro's speech to the "People's Earth Summit" focused on the "ecological debt" owed by the industrialized "North to the [developing] South" for the North's pollution and consumption habits.

4) According to Navarro, men also owe the women a "debt" for gender bias, and he spoke of the debt that a "white person has with colored persons and indigenous peoples" because of racial discrimination

If you speak to these people eventually you get to the heart of their agenda. They don't care about the environment, if they did they'd see that the US in particular is light years ahead of any third world cesspool in terms of cleaning up environmental damage. A casual comparison of the Mississippi and the Ganges rivers will show that.

Eleven-year-old Akshit Batra, an Indian representative of the "Children's Earth Summit," said "greed of the people" is destroying the earth.

Wonder if Akshit is related to the aforementioned "Bullsh*t".

I wonder how many gallons of gasoline and jet fuel were used to shuttle people to and from this "environmental" conference in private jets, limosines and SUVs.

Remember the story last month where the delegates to the African Conference on World Hunger were munching on lobster and caviar and sipping expensive wine at their receptions?

These conferences remind me of the Hollywood fundraisers for homeless people where the stars purchase dresses worth thousands for the event, arrive in private jets to help the homeless and charge $20,000 for a speech at the dinner.

"We're going to need 16 more planets if everyone aspires to be like an average American," Snyder added.

Aw, what the heck, let's make it an even 20, just to be on the safe side.

I actually enjoyed this earth summit. They really let the mask slip and admitted that it's about redistribution of wealth, not the environment. Since the Soviet Union fell the commies needed some place to escape to, and they chose the environmental movement.

Snyder implored her fellow Americans to "stop using so much...stop driving everywhere or carpool,

Well, I drive almost nowhere, and when I do, I carpool. One!

stop wearing clothes that have brand names on them,

Though I haven't checked, I'm sure all the brand names on my clothing are sufficiently low class. Probably assembled in third world sweat shops, too, providing citizens of developing nations with wages they could not otherwise receive. Two!

stop using paper napkins for everything,

I don't use them for everything. Three!

stop using paper cups,

I don't use paper cups. Four!

carry your own travel mug,

I did, until I accidentally left it in another's vehicle. Plan on buying another before I travel anywhere. Five!

read Julia 'Butterfly' Hill's book, One Makes a Difference.

Why?

Okay, that's five out of six. Does that mean my lifestyle bs quotient is at an acceptable level? Or do I have to read that dang book first? If not, then I can say that being an environmentalist is easy.

Proof positive these people have never worked a day in their life, have been spoiled rotten to the point of a bona-fide neurosis, not to mention brainwashed at taxpayer expense via our public educational system.

Things are going to change, but not the way you think, the time for your nonsense has passed and gone away, thankfully.

Reading this has changed my life. After I quit my job and burn all of my belongings, I shall weave a set of hemp clothing and wander to South America where the living is good. Hrmm, those villages that cow Sally Struthers is always wallowing through look pretty enlightened, and the combination sewer/well of the muddy trench is pretty efficient.

Spotted owls taste just like chicken.

Brand names verboten?

She probably means that our clothing should be manufactured by noble Arizona native-Americans on primitive looms, and by northeastern liberal ladies on spinning wheels.

All clothing should be biodegradable and recyclable. Washing instruction labels would be blank so that soap won't pollute the waterways when the outfits turn into old crusties.

In fact, the ideal clothing for these whackos would be a couple of strategically-placed fig leafs so that we can all get back to the natural conditions of the Garden of Eden.

Mostly I think they'd settle for clean water and enough to eat, at least for starters.

Fantastic! It's so good to see the environazis finally getting behind space exploration. Earth First! (We'll log the other planets later)

"I wish I could make a total redistribution [of wealth]," Snyder said. "Things are going to change. They have to," she added.

Once an environmentalist always a communist. And some people wonder why they are called watermelons

We live on this one small planet and it only has a certain carrying capacity," she said.

This is true but we haven't even come close to that capacity. I read here that the entire population of the world could fit in Texas with 2500 sq ft per person. That leaves us well over 90% of the world for support services. We've got tons of room left!

God Save America (Please)

Eleven? And this child knows something of the "greed of the people?"

Feh. Hogwash...

Katie Silberman told CNSNews.com , "I think the developing world has a lot of lessons for us as Americans in terms of limiting our consumption and reducing our waste."

When Katie dies, we will have gotten rid of a HUGE waste (of skin)

Damn straight, you let-me-mE-ME-tell-you-what's-good-for-you-poor-little-brown-people control freak, things ARE changing. The economies of developing countries that have embraced globalism, trade, capitalism, development are growing at an average rate of 5 percent, compared to developed countries' average rate of 2 percent. (The economies of the progressively smaller number of countries following your f-ed up advice are contracting as their populations are increasing. Look up "natural selection" to deduce the ultimate result of this.)

IOW globalism and economic development, building things, growing things with chemicals, digging and drilling stuff in the earth -- all the things that you hate (and that feed people and cloth them and shelter them and give them resources and security to advance their condition in life and the development and education of their children) -- are NARROWING the gap between the rich and poor nations.

It's your worst nightmare, you hope-killing, freedom-hating poverty whore. Billions of little brown people over the course of this century will be leaving their mud huts for air-conditioned houses with a personal auto in the garage.

What will you do when you can no longer haul your well-fed white butt around the globe lecturing the little brown people about the glorious "sustainability" of their impoverished degradation? I wish you a long future molding in the dark corner of some Karma Cafe commiserating with your fellow socialists about how no one pays attention to you anymore.

(O.K. Done ranting. I feel better now.)

I agree with the enviornmentalist my lifestyle is BS. Wake up, go to work, get paid. Next day, same. All this so half my money can go to stupid environmental studies and third-world dictators.

Time for a change of lifestlye. Where's that wagon. I want to ride for a while.

"When everyone wants to ride, who will pull the wagon."

You Greenies can have one of them to commune to death for yourselves. You can even have one with air and water. You can even pick any one you want except this one, and the offer is good until 4 Oct 2009.
