Conservative grassroots group Grassfire.org wants people to waste as much energy as possible on June 12 by "hosting a barbecue, going for a drive, watching television, leaving a few lights on, or even smoking a few cigars."

My carbon footprint is a 16EEEE.
Almost Algore-size.
Count me in!
I won’t “waste” energy June 12, or any other day for that matter. But even though June 12 is a Thursday, I’ll have a cookout, get my son to cut the grass, and have the TV on in the garage (the 7th such item I own) while I drink a few beers out of my garage refrigerator (the 3rd such item in my home). Then play some Blitzkrieg on my office computer (got 5 of them), while the kids play “Rock Band” on their video game (of which they have 4). And yes, I will belch.
Tell Barack Obama to take his “do with less” mentality and shove it! I’m middle class American, and proud thereof!
Earth Day 1989 I sprayed Component Freeze into a styrofoam cup.
You are a MADMAN!!
You forgot feeding beans to as many cows as you can find.
I’m sorry, I’m about as sick as possible about all the Global Warming hype, but doing this is just plain silly. Its the “in your face” kind of tactic that I dislike of the gay community.
i’m watching Pres. Bush giving a commencement speech to the Air Force graduates. it looks like its a little chilly there. Pres Bush is wearing a coat and here we are in the official summer season.
I’ll mark that date to clear an old-growth tree stand that shades my swimming pool. That will also release a lot of chlorine gas on sunny days.
Put me down for cigar smoking carbon expelling good times!
I also forgot that for my cookout, I’m having brats, with kraut. Lots of kraut.
Honey, we’re playing “covered wagon” at bedtime!
Earth Day 1989 I buried a styrofoam cup in my back yard to see if it would grow.
When they had Ozone action days, I’d drive by the sign on the freeway, slip the car into neutral and floor it, then buy gas or cut my lawn, even if it didn’t need to be done.
A few months ago, I dropped a CFL bulb and it broke. I cleaned it up and threw it away without calling HAZMAT. I even cut myself with the glass and didn’t require hospitalization.
I also wrote a letter to my Mayor asking for a refund on the recycle bin they made me buy cause I would never use it.
I only wish I could remove the old trees on our neighbors
land that shade our pool and prevent it from warming up
as fast as we’d like. Also the trees are positioned to
shade our pool and not their houses. If they should fall
it’s us that will feel the inpact. I usually like trees,
but not these. We have only small dogwoods in our yard.
Too late. I already burned my brush pile.
+12 and proud of it.
The way to reduce carbom emmissions is to reduce the surplus greenie population. Exhaling greenies cause climate change
You owe me a keyboard. I'll never get the coffee out of this one.
