I suppose if you never start the dirt bike, never have ups deliver a parcel for the dirt bike, never use the phone or computer for dirt bike related stuff so you can't charge off any of those footprints to the dirt bike, never load the dirt bike into or on a hauler and use resources in your travels, etc etc.. The links in that piece seemed to lead back to basically the same article. Now if you fed the dog a raw meat diet like some people do the figure of a little over two acres for a normal dog might be arguable. But how much of the acreage for a cow do you charge off to the people who buy in the grocery store and how much you charge off to the pet food? Our vet has a private plane, not a jet but perhaps the author of this piece figured out how much of the vet bills go to create eco footprint and this was left out of the article. And how is the guy who is operating that two acres per dog going to pay for his government mandated medical insurance if you take those two acres out of production.

My daughter's dachshund is a vegetarian. She loves carrots, broccoli, etc. and is fed dry cat food just like the cats. Their excrement goes into the trash, which goes into a landfill somewhere. When the 'greenies' can't find something real to point at they make something up. Poor sonofabitch was probably bitten by the family dog (probably with reason) when he was a child. -- Cheers, Bev /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ When cryptography is outlawed, only outlaws will qwertzuio asdfghjk pyxcvbnml -- M.

> dirtbikes are superior to a hamster. > ever tried to put a saddle on a hamster? The article did not mention if we *deserve* a horse. Is organic fertilizer worth carbon credits? We could send some to ozone al. Have you heard the one about methane from the herds? Blew my back out shovelling snow on Sunday. Friggin' killing me still. Maybe I'll try that Tiger Balm. Speaking of tigers, do wild animals have a carbon footprint? What is the carbon footprint of that Mayon volcano? Somebody should really protest that. I'm a monkey. |
