On average each of them is using 53 gallons of water a day...

Must be for all those extra flushes!

Toilets have been fitted with flushing systems to minimize water usage...

In other words, don't take a dump while you're there...

But I thought these greenies didn't want anyone to enjoy the advantages of flushing toilets (there was a thread on this very topic two days ago)...Ooops, I forgot, they didn't want anyone but blood-sucking enviro-elitists to benefit from modern sanitation.

(BTW, good morning, all. I've been up since 3 AM nursing a sick pooch who ate too much fresh-cut grass that I got from my neighbor for my mulching/compost project. Hear that greenies, I actually recycle my neighbor's yard waste.)

300 and 400 tons of trash, and so far, just 20 percent of it is being recycled. "We never had any illusions this would be a green summit," Mary Metcalfe, the environment minister of the Gauteng province....

Now wait just a dadgummed minute here, this is supposed to be a Summit FOR enviromental concerns as well as poverty concerns. What am I missing here???? THEY don't have to follow by the same rules they are trying to force down our throats??? They think we are all DEEP THROAT (from the porn movie) and they are just going to stuff it down OUR throats!!!! SHEESH!!!!

Just another look at the reality of the Fascist Elitists of the UN Enviral Nazis.

Champagne, caviar, lobster and wanton waste of precious resources are their legacy.

Reminds me of the Goron when he flew in Air Force One to illegally sign the Kyoto Treaty, the ulitimate $crew America, concept. His trip to repay his Green Masters consumed a whole lot of jet fuel on that round trip. There was probably more pollution than the all the SUVs in America for a month from his trip.

These are the New Nazis. Instead of admitting that they are Fasctists like their role models, they lie and say that they are for the environment.

Their personal actions getting to this massive Orgy and Gang banging of America shows their reality. They conserve nothing and live the life of royalty.

Thank goodness for the internet so that we can see their wretched reality versus their eco pr images.

Next time around they can call this the "Do As We Say, Not As We Do Summit".

The world summit is a big joke, and wasted valuable resources, that the poor could have used. I'm glad Our President ignored it.
