Here’s the problem I have with AGCC radicalism that
I need to reduce my carbon footprint. Meantime, Al Gore’s house uses 20 times more energy than the average American household. But that’s ok, because Al Gore’s house is bigger than the average American home, and anyway he buys energy from wind farms and methane and other “green” sources and that “neutralizes” his carbon footprint. (Not sure how the electric company determines who gets the “green” energy and who doesn’t.

Al Gore INCREASED his energy use by 10% since his house went “green” while asking the rest of to decrease our energy use.
There aren’t enough limousines in Copenhagen for all the VIPs. Then there are all the private jets.
Anybody know how big the Copenhagen Conference’s carbon footprint is?
People who use 20 times more energy would make a bigger impact reducing so-called greenhouse gases by decreasing their energy usage by 1% than by asking ME to reduce my energy usage. I’m talking about all the heated pools, Escalades, etc. in Hollywood.
I already keep my thermostat at 66 in winter, and 60 at night and in the day when I’m not at home. I’m moving to smaller home, now that my kids are grown up and out of the house. I work less than 5 miles from home.
I washed my babies’ diapers and hung them on the line to dry. I’m talking about the old fashioned flat ones, the ones you still needed plastic pants. The designer stuff they have out now is ridiculously expensive. I never gave my kids a bottle of formula or precanned baby food. I nursed my babies and made their food. And yes, I made them MEAT!
Can you say the same for yourself, 4elise? Did you use paper diapers on your kids?
I grow vegetables on my tiny city lot, and I frequent the local farmer’s markets. I shop resales shops. I’ve been recycling for over 30 years, I have a compost heap.
Yet I am branded a “denier” who doesn’t care about the stewardship of our planet.
What I am seeing is unless I change my ways the way YOU and the rest of the PC crowd want me to change them, it will never be good enough. You see, nobody makes much money on cloth diapers. There’s no profit in homemade babyfood. I see Gerber has put out organic babyfood now. Huggies makes an organic cotton disposable diaper now. lol
