I just had to put this under stupid stuff. It is so stupid, I had trouble coming up with the title.

Did you know watching a Youtube video adds 5 grams of carbon to your footprint?

"researchers point out that today’s websites are designed in a way that’s inherently wasteful, using more electricity than is necessary to maintain the same user experience. "

“

ECO-GUILT? Really?

Here it is folks. It's coming, fast! Holding companies and governments accountable. YOu know what's next, individuals.

It's about money and control.

It is about money and control and that is all it's about!
From now on I am not flying in my private jet to conventions, meetings or family vacations. Nor will I take my yacht out in the Potomac. I know my place and I'm not going to jet to Europe! I'll let the movie stars and politicians do that.
