Were are my CO2 credits

CO2 credits are not granted to people that can't spell 'where' correctly.

Don`t have to dream about it. It was built some time ago.  Aircoupe.

I love the carbon credit idea. It means you can do anything you like as long as you compensate for it.  It's a typical fudge.

I had to laugh recently, the Green party here got a few ministries for supporting the main party. One is the Minister for the Environment. He flew to New York recently for a green conference. He couldn't walk there and sailing ships are pretty obsolete so he had to fly. Naturally the newspapers had fun with that and demanded to know whether he had offset his pollution:lol  Apparently he hadn't at that stage, tut tut

To be fair, he used public transport to get into NYC from JFK. Good for him. I hope he doesn't get mugged.

I was born in 1967, I lived in a family of 5 with one car, I walked to school until I was 14, then I had to drive because school became to far to walk. We didn’t have a dishwasher until 1982, and our first microwave was 1984. I didn’t own a computer until 1998, and we had only one TV until 2004.  I still today use the commuter train to travel 1.5 hours (45) miles to work. I drive less the 10K a year.

I'm sure I can in time think of more ways that I have saved on my CO2 footprint.

So I want my CO2 credits from anyone born after say 1985. Why because anyone born around that year is sure to have had a computer at home, cable TV, two cars in the family, a microwave oven. And is less likely to use public trasportation to school or work.

In contrast I'm single and own 2 cars, 1 desktop and 3 laptop computers, 1 microwave, 2 tvs and the 6 months prior to my deployment to Iraq I drove 30k miles... so sorry but I plan on using your CO2 credits for at least 10 more years.    I was also born in 1967...

I'm single and have 3 cars and a motorcycle and live in a 3 bedroom 3 bath home.   A garage full of power tools.  

I did screw in them little curly bulb thingies tho.

Maybe your methane output has outweighed whatever credits you may have earned in CO2 savings?

Just a thought.

I only really use one of the bathrooms.... at a time..  

I also have a pretty good digestive system... top of the line.. never had indigestion or heartburn or a stomach ache in my life except for a couple of bouts of flu or food poisoning every 10 years or so.

What about JBA?

Can you vouch for the environmental friendliness of his flatulence?

[lazs2]

no.. I can't.. my guess is that he is a mass polluter.  Only when we hook up the equipment to him will we know tho.

No way algore would pass a smog check tho.

Those are actually worse for the environment.  They are full of mercury.

Try balancing a fork on your finger. Then move it only 3.4% and see what happens..

[lazs2]

LOL.. now the planet is a fork?   I would not doubt that the model of the fork is every bit as accurate as some of the computer models... and..

It is not the same... the 3.4% is our contribution to co2 which is 0.28% of all greenhouse gas which in itself may affect warming a few percent...

So.. try moving the fork off center by 1/100th of a percent.    But... better hope there is no wind or earthquake..  that would screw up the model.

And... I don't care if the bulbs screw up the environment... they work good and are cheap and...  kalifornia told me they were good for us.

Now... what to do with all those darn hybrid batteries....
