I'm no statistician, but ... the overtime for the feds, and perhaps the city, additional fuel cost to collect and transport the garbage to the appropriate facility ( did they separate as they collected ? ), the cost for the carbon credits to offset all this pollution, minus the value of the plastic and aluminum ... I think it's a net loss of millions.
But OH! Wasn't he just dreamy ?
Damn!
I just puked on my keyboard and added to the cost .. I have to buy more plastic and throw this one away ... and I will NOT separate it, neither.
Celebrities, politicians, and bigwigs using 600 private jets will produce 25,320,000 POUNDS of CO2
Personal vehicles could account for 262,483,200 POUNDS of CO2
In the parade, horses alone will produce more than 400 POUNDS of CO2
The IFL also came up with a revealing illustration about what this all means:
It would take the average U.S. household 57,598 years to produce a carbon footprint equal to that of the new president’s housewarming party.
