10 threats to a greener America
by rd @ 9:45 am 7 comments »
- Townhouse developments - vast tracts of middle-class housing in cookie cutter formations stretching as far the eye can see. Frightening.
- PlayStation, Sega and Nintendo - the annual transition to next-generation gaming platforms will create mountains of played-out Gameboys and Xboxes that will soon block out the sun while simultaneously creating a generation of adults with arthritically crippled and out-sized thumbs…
- Celebrity hypocricy - how many bodyguards can fit into one Escalade en route to that 11th Hour premiere?
- Shopping at Wal-Mart - can it really be good business for China to poison its best customers? Everything’s on sale everyday…including America.
- Congressional harassment - our elected representatives can’t be relied upon to focus on legislation when young pages, money toting lobbyists and gay men’s room entrapment schemes keep them from their work.
- Stephen Colbert - the sawed-off comic has befriended Bill O’Reilly, violated the Endangered Species Act by adopting a bald eagle, and denied the existence of both evolution and global warming thus contributing to the decline of Western Civilization as we now know it…
- Designer re-usable bags - the point is to replace the noxious and pervasive plastic bag, not gain entry into Lindsay Lohan’s next ‘I just busted out of re-hab and got a big movie deal’ after-party.
- Sustainability - the spelling and mis-spelling of this word will waste an estimated 137 million man-hours per year that could be otherwise used to save the global environment.
- Cats - kitty litter disposal is an odiferous and growing concern to many Americans.*
- Cell phones - I’ve got nothing here but I needed a 10th threat. Any ideas appreciated.

This is one of those funny “ha ha” blog posts…right?
Hey Brian,
Is this one of those funny “ha ha” comments?
As a cat lover, I am absolutely enraged and will visit this site even more.
If we all spay and nueter our cats, they’ll be a lot less odiferous kitty litter about!
I enjoyed my comment, but I’m biased.
Ditto KC’s comment…but srsly, I have cats and volunteer at a cat rescue…and they do produce massive amounts of landfill fodder. [url=http://www.ecoproducts.com/Home/home_biobags/home_index_biobags.htm]Here[/url] is a link to biodegradeable bags that can be used as pan liners/scoop receptacles…seems like a more eco-friendly choice, in combination with a litter like Swheat Scoop. Oh yeah, and spay and neuter yer kittehs
Hey cell phones are a theat if the studies linking the deaths of large numbers of bees is accurate. I beleive it was Einstein that gave humanity 4 years to live after pollenation ceased.
