Reasons Not to Shower
Bethany Stotts, December 10, 2009
One Edinburgh University climate scientist argues in a December New Scientist article that common activities such as washing clothes, using toilet paper and drinking coffee are among the “five eco-crimes we commit every day.”
“I have long argued that climate change begins at home,” writes Dr. David Reay, senior lecturer on Global Change at Edinburgh. “Each of us in the developed world has played our part in creating this problem and, while there is no doubt that coordinated global action is needed to tackle it, we can each be part of the solution.” Reay is the author of Your Planet Needs You! A Kid’s Guide to Going Green.
His list of five everyday eco-crimes are:
1. Coffee. Apparently six-cups-a-day off this wake-up beverage can clock “up more than 175 kilograms of CO2 each year. That’s the equivalent of a flight across Europe—from London to Rome, say.”
“Add milk, and the methane belched by dairy cows means you increase your coffee’s climate-changing emissions by more than a third.”...

I guess there’s a reason Edinburgh is referred to as “Auld Reekie”.
Some one should make a move showing what life would be like if these people had the power to enforce it. Or you could just watch a movie that takes in the dark ages.
move=movie.
I’ve long argued that trying to change climate by changing the way you live is idiocy. This proves it.
You can see where this is going.
These people won’t be content until they are controlling every moment of your day.
This isn’t a political or scientific movement. Its a mental disease. The guy who is worrying about how much toilet paper you use or how often you wash your clothes isn’t someone you debate policy with. He is someone who needs to be on medication. Nothing you are ever going to do will ever satisfy someone like this.
Defeat them. And otherwise stay as far away from them as you possibly can.
Sorry but I will take a shower every morning and that is that. I don’t care how much the water bill will end up. To end up like those smelly Europeans (especially the guys) forget it. In some cases, you have to run off if they walk into the office (especially in the Summer).
This bugs me.
Why do liberals always look for an excuse to run around unbathed and to stink?
Part of me thinks that it has to do with the desire of the liberal elites to have the rest of us be a horde of the “unwashed masses.” Still, it’s a concerning tendency, to say the least.
Time to invest in nose plugs.
Reminds me of the woman who said to use only one tissue paper at a time in the bathroom. I believe she was hounded in the media till she had to retract it. IMHO the same should happen to this “Gentleman”; the ladies should have a field day with him.
That was Cheryl Crow. So mercilessly ridiculed she backed off and said she was kidding.
Dirty smelly hippies.
Not much has changed in 40 years.
I always felt American homes should have a bidet. I don’t have one but I want one.
It probably wouldn’t be hard to stay away from him. I am sure his body smells atrocious.
Some one should make a move showing what life would be like...
Watch “1984”.
Can’t have a bidet with these people. They use water.
“common activities such as washing clothes, using toilet paper and drinking coffee are among the “five eco-crimes we commit every day.”
These people need to be dropped onto an uninhabited island and allowed to live in their own carbonless utopia.
And not having to hear from them anymore would be a great blessing for the rest of us.
It’s chilly, need to go contribute to some CO2 in the form of a nice cup of coffee.
Bring out your Dead!
Bite my coffee guzzling a$$.
