#1 I think the Earth can be helped more by gathering up such fruitcakes and herding them into an active, erupting volcano.

Their demise will create soot that will help block out some solar radiation, and by the MMGW theories, should complete reverse millions of years of MMGW. After all, like CO2, it will be a fraction of a percent of a trace gas.

#2 I'm guessing that the ~~elitist overlords~~ 'special groups' will be exempt right?

#3 Send the dude to Somalia for a year's fast diet program. Maybe then you'll appreciate the very very short time in human history in which food is readily available and bountiful. The 4000+ years of human history says this is the exception, not the case.

Drink tap water, not bottled water

As long as you deliver it to my desk or while I'm driving. The point about bottled water is portability. Just like that cell phone versus the old device tied to the wall by a long black wire. I don't need to find a faucet, or worry about its quality, when I'm out and about.

#4 As for portable water - she-who-must-be-obeyed had us switch from bottled water in plastic bottles to filtered water in those stainless steel bottles. They have ones out now which don't leak, you can snap it open with one hand and contains a little spout so its easier to drink from when you are driving, walking, talking on the phone, etc... (note the those liberals out there - do not attempt to talk and drink at the same time...)

Back-in-the-day when I was a kid we used to do a lot of home-canning. By choice - and not for 'environmental' reasons - my stepfather was an oldtime logger (in other words - a real environmentalist). And we would buy a whole front-shoulder of beef, bring it home and can-it up - it'll last all year and taste great. And nothing beats home-canned corn.

#5 Daily runs on foot will be counterproductive to the stated goals, although much more picturesque.

In a sustainable world, you would just go out in the back yard to gather some acorns. And maybe strangle a squirrel.

#7 Every liberal group will find a way to get their pet projects under the banner of Global Warming, etc. Vegetarians are the most logical. I look forward to the more awkward fits.

#9 Not just Meat it's Beef Wellington! YUM.

Let me just say I won't be taking this fascists advice as I own my own body (and especially my Canines).

#11 Saw a wonderful tee shirt in Wally World.

A kid, about 5 with his shirt slogan "I Love Fast Food" and the back had a picture of a deer clearing a fallen tree, about 8 feet off the ground, and just running flat out.
