The environuts are really ****ed up.


Find out when you should die according to envirowacko webpage for kids.Although I am curious as to what how much money you spend has to do with the enviroment because they seem to hopped onto the carbon offsets bandwagon.

LAME.

I was lower than average on many things.  Smaller house.  More people in it.  SOME energy from renewable sources.  I was doing well until...

My "how much money did you spend all up" tripled my C02 output.  Even though most of my money went to the mortgage on my small home, insurance, and student loans - which have ZERO carbon emissions as expenditures, just by the virtue of having a household that spent XYZ dollars I guess I'm evil.  But if I had spent that money all up on "green products" I could actually have a HUGE negative carbon footprint (I guess green products actually suck TONS of carbon from the air).

I used up my share of the planet by age 3.4 and exploded in a puddle of blood.  Apparently the "average Aussie" has all the average boxes checked and spends 50% of their wealth on green products and another 33% on green investments.  Also, the "average" Aussie flew ZERO kilometers last year, the average home has 2 people in it,  and spent $10 - 25K last year.  The average Aussie should die at the age of 9.3.

I call BS.

If you spend more time on the site, you'll find that it doesn't get any less bizarre.  I'm pretty comfy stating that whoever built that site is -- separate from the environmental message -- pretty much a loon. I think it's one of those horribly tone deaf marketing initiatives that unaccountably makes it out of the boardroom and into the world before saner heads get a say.

My wife made a Mexican pizza for dinner last night.  As a result my carbon output has been off the scale today!

I dingo ate my baby.  Throw another shrimp on the barbie!

No, you're thinking of AUSTRALIANs - not New Zealand.  Those people are jerks.
