Pirate's Cove

Surprisingly, I actually agree with some. Make sure to check out the funny video at the link

The champagne has been popped and the confetti has, hopefully, been cleaned up but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to make some serious green resolutions for the new year.

Whether you’re looking to shrink the footprint of your closet, your cubicle, your plate, or your community, Planet 100 has some simple advice to put into practice in 2011.

And their 5 resolutions, which are, I believe, aimed more at climate alarmism than actual real environmental issues

• 5. Swap Clothes – look like a tramp!
• 4. Save Paper – actually a good idea. Doesn’t mean we have to be a paperless society, but, saving trees, just for the sheer beauty and preservation of wilderness, is a good idea. I’d love to say “go buy a Kindle”, alas, NC laws have made it so Amazon will not allow NC residents to be Affiliates anymore. Sigh.
• 3. Go Vegetarian – alas, being a vegetarian still uses vast resources, and they tend to be rather….flatulent. Methane. Super bad GHG
• 2. Ditch Plastic – gotta agree, at least to the extent one can. Particularly plastic bottles. “It pollutes the land and fouls the sea—it’s the modern day affliction that sticks around long, long time—plastic.” But then Treehugger goes stupid, if you care to read it.

And the number 1 resolution?

1. Take Action – In at number one, don’t just think green, act green. Acting upon your convictions can make the world a better place.

Volunteer with an organization that specializes in environmental protection, educate yourself with workshops and seminars, donate to charities that are helping to better the planet or vote to ensure your elected officials are held accountable to your community and the planet.

It started out well, but, then degenerated to “spreading awareness” rather than “changing your own behavior.” Figures
