你Carbon Neutral嗎?


footlarge

"Carbon Neutral"今年被牛津出版社選為"年度新字". 請看Carbon Neutral: Oxford Word of the Year.



這果然印證了大家對出版界充滿了白目左派的懷疑. 另一個好例子是"NYC's Artists-in-Residence" 曼哈頓竟有許多地區有超過20%的居民從事 arts, design, entertainment, sports 等行業, 再加上佔人口多數的project housing及 rent control 的低收入少數族裔, 及既得利益者. 也難怪右派在曼哈頓很難拿超過20%的選票.

"Carbon Offsetting"事實上對你們這些以保護地球為己任的"環保人士"們, 你們這些鄙視我們右派"破壞地球母親", 卻又自己不斷排出"溫室氣體"的左派們, 是一個大好的消息, 因為你們可以不用上吊就可以減輕自己戕害地球母親的罪孽. 你們只要在這個網站(Calculate Your Carbon Footprint)上算出自己一家人的"溫室氣體"排放量,接著再到這個網站(Carbon Emissions Offset) 上找一個環保公益組織連結, 然後你就可以每年根據妳家的溫室氣體排放量(Carbon Footprint)來付那組織一筆錢去"抵銷"你們的"罪孽". 這像不像中世紀的贖罪卷? (我一家需要約$800美金一年來"贖罪", just in case you wondered). 如果你真的有心, 就像中世紀善良的人民所做的一樣, 也請替妳們所愛的人(父母, 兄弟姊妹, 好朋友)一起買"贖罪卷"吧!

左派們, 地球需要你們的支持. 請以身作則, "action is much louder than words".

If I donate $ to 環保公益組織, will they actually use the fund to help the enviornment, or they just lobby?

That calculation table is pretty lame. Does that mean if I burn wood in the fireplace/woodstove, I would contribute nothing to the global warming? And how about those family who use windpower as the source of electricity? How does it contribute to the carbon dioxide emission?

>>曼哈頓竟有許多地區有超過20%的居民從事 arts, design, entertainment, sports 等行業,

From the business point of view, we call them "overhead"; from the conservative's point of view, we call them "bloodsuckers", whose only role is to consume. Actually, I take that back, they at least help moving the money around, by attenuating it along the way.
