MY EARTH DAY MANIFESTO:AL GORE CAN KISS MY CARBON FOOTPRINT

Well, it's Earth Day. A day of celebration even though some of it's founders have turned out to be absolute psychopaths and some are truly showing their Eco fascist and anti-democratic feelings:

"Writing for Forbes Magazine, climate change alarmist Steve Zwick calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be tracked, hunted down and have their homes burned to the ground, yet another shocking illustration of how eco-fascism is rife within the environmentalist lobby."
 
"‘Gaia hypothesis’ creator James Lovelock asserted that “democracy must be put on hold” to combat global warming and that “a few people with authority” should be allowed to run the planet because people were too stupid to be allowed to steer their own destinies." -INFOWARS
 
Scary stuff! But, not surprising when you remember that President Obama originally picked the likes of  people like Van Jones to be his "Green Czar" too.
 
As for me. I'm all for the environment and helping the earth. I've been doing it for decades using my own money not other peoples. Here's a photo of my latest project:
 

It's the heart of my whole house LED lighting system. As you can see it is still a work in progress. But, it has been operating for over a year at the BCP World Headquarters. During the day two solar panels charge the battery bank on the right. Then at dusk LED lights like this one:

come on in every room in my house and allow me to walk around without turning on a single grid connected light in my wanderings. It's much better than any program the Federal Government has come up with. Mainly because no Government subsidies, grants or tax breaks were used to build the system. It's truly green because it not only helps the earth but, also saves me money by not having to pay the utility company to light my house. That's what being green should be all about. As far as I'm concerned people like Al Gore can kiss my carbon footprint! Being conservative is all about conservation.  But, not in BIG money wasting Government programs.  The eco fascist onn the Left just don't get that.

SPEAKING ABOUT EARTH DAY

Gaylord Nelson the Democratic Senator from Wisconsin was one of the principal founders of Earth Day back in 1970.  He was not only concerned about the environment he was also aware of the impact of over population and immigration and how it affects a countries environment too. Unfortunately most of the environmental movement seems to ignore the issue. Nelson did not here is the money quote:

"The bigger the population gets, the more serious the problems become…. We have to address the population issue. The United Nations, with the U.S. supporting it, took the position in Cairo in 1994 that every country was responsible for stabilizing its own population. It can be done. But in this country, it's phony to say "I'm for the environment but not for limiting immigration."- Gaylord Nelson

Roy Beck lays out the numbers and what Nelson was talking about:

I GOT YOUR EARTH DAY RIGHT HERE!

The fortieth anniversary of Earth Day is coming up. Who can be against that? Unfortunately, the Liberals have a misguided and expensive view on what it takes to go green. Much like their view that more money for education will make our education system better. Recovering Liberals like me have awakened to the fact that this is not the case. I'm glad to see there are others like me who are doing good for themselves and the Earth at the same time without buying into the Liberal Green Snake Oil that Obama and the other Liberal environmental groups keep pushing at taxpayer expense. People like writer Jeff Yeager. Here is a literal green money quote from Jeff:

For most Americans, the greenest thing you can do is consume less, which probably means spending less. I think there's some hypocrisy in the current green movement, even though I've been an ardent environmentalist my whole adult life. I fear that the so-called green movement is catching on now because there's a bunch of cool, expensive green stuff we can by. It's become what I call a "cause de stuff." Much of the current environmental movement in the U.S. seems to be built around the very thing it should be seeking to combat ... rampant consumerism. Take green cleaning products. They tend to be more expensive than the toxic products. But you can clean almost everything with baking soda and vinegar, which are safer for the environment than green products and cost less than any other cleaning products, green or toxic.

Being Green does not have to cost a lot of money. Maybe the half billion dollars in Stimulus money that the Obama administration gave to Tesla Motors could have better been spent elsewhere rather than giving them taxpayer dollars to allow that company to develop a $100,000 electric sports car so that Hollywood Liberal "elites" can flaunt how green they are when they drive them. As for me I go green in my own way and I don't use Federal Government tax breaks or subsidies to do it.

Like the conversion of my Tensor desk lamp to LED'S.



The conversion not only helps me go green by using less energy it helps me add more green to my wallet because it saves me money. Something the Liberals need to keep in mind before they keep proposing more expensive government "green" programs.
