How about a real top ten list to save the planet.
#1 Extreme animal rights groups need to stop burning down resort areas. Fires release carbon dioxide and methane, which if you remember warms the planet 80 times faster than carbon dioxide.
#2 Environmental group leaders and AL Gore should quit flying around the country to save the enviroment. These individuals in their quest to save the planet contribute 80 times the greenhouse gases to the environment than does a normal family of 4. In other words, these individuals are causing 300% more damage to the environment than I am. Keep them at home!!!!!!
#3. Stop NIMBY. Nuclear power release less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than normal power generators. We, like France should begin replacing antiquated power reactors with nuclear reactors, which would limit not only carbon dioxide emissions but reduce dependcy on natural gas, coal or oil.
#4. Allow for the building of fire breaks and fire roads in the National Forests. This would help to contain fires and allow fire fighters to get to the fires without having to use helicopters and airplanes which release more carbon dioxide.
#5. Eat more beef. As earlier reported cow's gas, release methane into the atmosphere which causes more global heating than carbon dioxide.
#6. Talk less. Everytime you open your mouth you are release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. SO SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
#7. If your house is not equipped with a cistern you are wasting energy and water. If you don't know what a cistern is, then you are a major threat to the environment.
#8. Hunt and Fish. If you meat and are not a hunter you must rely on packaged meat products. The packaging of the meat by non-reusable and recyclable products causes great harm to the environment. Because they are not biodegradable they contribute to our waste problems. Hunting and fishing eliminate the need for the packaging of the meat products.
#9. Turn off the TV and Radio and read a book. When you are finished donate it to a school or used book store.
#10. Don't eat organic foods. Organic foods require more land to grow, have less nutrients and spoil faster resulting in higher incidences of fruits and vegetables being thrown away because they are spoiled.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
