What do you do to be "Green"

[Fenah]

I drive my 16 mpg Truck. IT does wonders to the environment.

The U.S. has some of the most stringent environmental rules around. Permits upon permits are required before the first shovel goes into the
Another is on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River-a river already with controlled access. Every rafting party must pack out their own sewage. So you get an old ammo can and do your duty in it for a week. Never mind the Class 4 and 5 rapids. If you don't secure the "load", it will spill. If it survives the week, you have your own environmental disaster waiting to be cleaned out.

Do the fish and wildlife have to pack their crap out also?

I try to make sure I put my cigarette butts INSIDE the beercans as I chuck them out the window of my Hummer.

True. I am sorry. But they wouldn't want that as a fan. Against what they are about.

Who cares? Unless they pay my bills they can piss off for all I care

I recycle because it makes sense. All cardboard, newspaper, cans, bottles go to the recycle center. I have a bout one bag of trash per week. On the rare occurrence I have a rough week and dont make it there, I cring a "little" when I throw a can in the trash. But for the most part I do it willingly. As far as fuel, I burn wood, trees that need to be cut down, I reuse as fuel. But the log splitter and the chain saw use fuel. I keep lights to a minimum because its so expensive here. I went all electric heat, but I missed signing up for the new rate. So I pay 3 cents more per killowatt hour as my neighbors.

We have a homeless guy that goes around and checks everyone's trash for recyclable cans and bottles. The first time I saw him going through people's trash and mines I told him look, I'll leave a separate bin on the side of the house for all my cans and bottles and you can have them. Now, neighbors are doing the same for this guy. So it's kind of a win-win situation for all of us.

i still remember my big high school newspaper expose. i got wind that the trash guy for our schoolpicked up the garbage dumpster with his truck put it down. then he went 10 feet over and picked up the paper one and put it right with the trash lmao. this was a "few" years back but the libs in the schools where already preaching this and alot of people flipped out. i would never write that story today; it probably cost that guy his job... or really he lost it himself by being an idiot.

and as far as throwing **** from my 11mpg HAWG i only do it when the kids are on the side of the road picking up **** for community service for their country club or w/e ill empty everything i can reach out the window at em then leave 2 looonnnng rubber tracks lol

Not go to work. Working is anti-green. Work is for losers

I recycle because it makes sense. All cardboard, newspaper, cans, bottles and plastic go to the recycle center.
I live out in the boonies and none of the trash companies offer recycling so I accumulate the recyclables and take to the recycle center 4 -5 times a year.

 

[brown bomber]

on the day after "earth day" our center management team informed us that we would be using a new delivery notice........THEY told us to throw away 1000's of the old notices....just wondering, perhaps they should have recycling

apparently the only green that matters w/ UPS, is the bottom line $$$$$$$$$

next earth day, I am going to commit suicide . That way, I will stop generating CO2 and my carbon footprint will then be zero.

hoaxster is a hipster, who woulda guessed?

 

[FAVREFAN]

wow me either!

1. assuming thats true he still used the eq. of over 10 times as much than me not 50 times soRRY. and this applies not just to utillities (electric, water) but EVERYTHING has to travel those extra miles to reach the ivory towers of the gore estate. every single item is tainted with all that carbon aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
2. green power cost 4 times as much lmao!
3.his scheme of selling offset credits doesnt change the fact that his footprint is still 10 times as large as mine. its called fungibility! if he lived modestly like a slightly less narcisicitic hypocrite would he could still buy the same amount of feel good "credits" and have a negative footprint. Think about his scheme logically; reductum ad absurdum everyone in the country buys enough "offset credits" to make their homes/businesses green. no more polution or even NEGATIVE POLLUTION!!!!! NOOO only his "credit" company and the idiots making condor quisanarts will be rolling in the new "green" economy.
4. how much does "carbon" does ups use to deliver to his mansion vs. my apartment complex.
5. how much of a footprint did it make to have contractors come and rip apart his new fortress and replace crap with new manufactured "green" and throw the old "green" out?

and this stuff does matter; enviromental regulations are EXPENSIVE. think about it how much of your twenty thousand dollar car goes towards retarded enviromental **** that just makes it slower.

i know those cats are a waste but they are easy to gut and i do it on every car i have

Wow. After reading this, I realize, we truely are *******. May God forgive us.

Yeah, but your rotting corpse will spew methane. So, maybe you should consider turning yourself into biofuel. lol. J/K. lol.

For the love of GOD, man, PULL UP!! PULL UP!!

After being on this planet for a few years, you get to recognize a pattern. Well, at least I have. Any fan of History is also aware that "the end is near" crowd has been around for as long as there has been man. The current flavor of the day is "Going Green" and " Save the Earth"

In the past it was Global Warming / Global Cooling going back & forth for a while, No Nukes, 3-Mile Island, clubbing baby seals, save the whales, no big oil, terrorists, tylenol, Son of Sam, the SARS virus, the spotted owl, old growth forests, the rain forests, Africa, the Middle east, communism, Vietnam, Nazis, skinheads, racism, the bloods, the crips, education, W, Enron, Author Anderson, Oil spills, lead poisoning, radon, interest rates, the Chinese, the Mexicans, border patrols, exploding Pintos, DeLorean, Iran, Iraq, OPEC, taxes, Big government, small government, pedophiles, porno, the spotted owl again (tastes like chicken) free range chicken, beef hormones, mad cow disease, gingivitus, and Geico commercials.

And these are just last week.

It gets really tiring to hear about saving everything when I wonder where my rent money is coming from next week.

Now smack yourself, get a grip, be as good a person you can be, and just live. And get some moisturizer for your hands - all that wringing has dried them out.

Put on a leprechaun outfit and run around screaming "they are after me lucky charms!".
