Earth day

Rhys · Apr 20, 2008

I gather Monday is Earth Day. I solemnly pledge to get into my SUV and drive at 19mpg to more places than I really need, and to spend lots of money on our expensive fuel. I pledge to pollute as I go to meet my clients and to thumb my nose at all green activists

Actually, Earth Day is April 22, so it is Tuesday.

Plenty time for me to fire up my gasoline powered strimmer (week whacker), blower, pressure washer, lawnmower, chainsaw, cultivator and my SUV. Heck, I might even borrow one of those Hummer thingies that do 10mpg.

Just as long as you go and calculate your carbon footprint afterward!

Your estimated greenhouse gas emissions are 85 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per year.

Any raise on 85 tons?

Yikes... this is mine:
Your estimated greenhouse gas emissions are 35 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per year, which is above the U.S. national average.

Well, I'm 28 tons, but they failed to ask me about the electronics (like my 2 high power computers and laptop, all on 24/7)

"We" are "destroying" the world? Talk about a broad sweeping statement.

I'd like to point out that more greenhouse gasses are produced by volcanoes than by human activity. I'd further like to point out that the Brazilians are chopping down the rainforests which absorb the world's carbon dioxide.
