DNC Making a Difference

Devotion to the environment remains a pillar of the New DNC.  Their pledge to make their convention the greenest in history is an uh? Success.

The program, set up by the DNC Host Committee through the Denver Convention and Visitors Bureau and rolled out about a week before the convention started, raised a total of $18.34 to set off carbon emissions.

Perhaps they could do something with the tens of thousands of wooden hotel cards that had to be thrown away er recycled.  Strange that they would take a plastic hotel key card that can literally be reused thousands of times and replace it with a wooden one that is meant to be discarded and consequently had to be prematurely.





When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

DNC, making a difference.

Overburdening our planet with false "man made global waring hysteria", in excuse for government control over all aspects of our lives, and perverting our children in to killing their unborn babies.

DNC, let's corrupt and pervert the world, one slow and easily brain washed brain at a time.

DNC future core constituency. Unfortunately, yes, they will be allowed to vote.

quote:
The offsets were aimed at DNC-goers other than the official delegates, who had a separate carbon offset program through Vermont-based Native Energy. That program, set up in January through the Democratic National Convention Committee, was utilized by 65 percent of the DNC's 4,440 delegates.



So at least the delegate participation rate in the other carbon-offsetting program was high.

I also don't feel too bad, since the only news about this particular carbon offest program for the general attendees consisted of "a general press release".

I would have felt like such a total jack-donkey purchasing carbon credits to attend the convention.  That has got to be the most clever guilt con-job I've ever seen to lighten people's wallets.  

I was really shocked when I booked my summer trip that Expedia gave me the option to buy carbon credits on their site.  Sheesh.

Cows contribute to global warming by belching methane gas.

Hey Conan,

It's nothing new. Way back in the good old days of lead based face powder, outdoor plumbing, kings and castles, there was a different religion that sold a similar, almost identical guilt trip called indulgences. Instead of the sin being your carbon foot print, it was adultery, sex outside of marriage or any other form of "traditional" sin. You could buy the indulgences from the priest and go about sinning, all the live long day.

Sound familiar? That's how Algore, the High (As a kite) Priest of the Church of "man made global warming" can get away with living with a carbon footprint bigger than Godzilla and still talk down to the rest of us about changing our ways, making sacrifices and everything he'll never do. F*ing hypocrite.

Water is by far the biggest green house gas on the planet. Uh oh, we better ban it, or at least find a way to reduce our water emissions.

What a fantastic analogy.

I'm setting up a new program. If you are going to continue using water and you are serious about this whole "man made global warming" thingy, you need to lower your H2O foot print. I will soon establish an H2O offset program. I haven't yet figure out how to reduce the this planet destroying gas, but I will begin looking immediately! Do not wait, your proceeds will go towards this new ground breaking technology and I'll dry this sucker up like talc on a babies behind!

I am definitely against di-hydrogen monoxide.  It's dangerous stuff!  It's in our rivers, our pesticides, food, animals, and in our lawns, it's even *gasp* in our coffee!!!!  The Arkansas River has raised elevations of it today.

Man, that professor is a blithering idiot. I like the common sense, skeptical environmentalist guy. He makes a lot of sense. How many Greenpeace, nut jobs do you think actually know their founder quit because they no longer represent responsible environmentalism in any fashion and are completely controlled by politics? They're just Socialists trying to disguise and push forward their agenda.
