Forget about saving the planet for the children. The greenies say it’s all their damned fault:
Having large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanour in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a 4×4 car and failing to reuse plastic bags, according to a report to be published tomorrow [...]

Musician/celebutante Sheryl Crow proposes a one square of toilet paper-per-sitting quota to offset deforestation.
That’s going to be a tough rule to enforce–what with eco-Hollyweirdos so, you know, full of crap.
Meanwhile, in Manhattan, wealthy socialites help rescue the planet by plunking down a few pennies for Shaklee cleaning products and energy-saving bulbs for their closets. But [...]

First, San Francisco. Now…Portland.

***Update: The border fence clears a Senate hurdle***
No, I’m not making it up:
U.S.-Mexico border fence may harm animal migration
A plan to fence off a third of the U.S. border to stop illegal immigration from Mexico may harm migration routes used by animals including rare birds and jaguars, environmentalists and U.S. authorities warn.

When last we peeked in on the anarchists and anti-war moonbats at Indymedia, they were organizing superglue vandalism across the country. Their new stunt in the works? A national flag burning day. (Hat tip: Indymedia Watch.)
So on this Fourth of July we call on you to express your feelings on their “Independence Day” by burning [...]

This is choice:
A jury found Greenpeace guilty Monday on two misdemeanor criminal negligence charges that were filed after the group’s ship entered Alaska waters for an anti-logging campaign without required paperwork.
Greenpeace’s ship came to Alaska to conduct an anti-logging campaign in the Tongass National Forest. The ship was carrying more than 70,000 gallons of “petroleum [...]

…increase pollution!?!

Michael Northrop of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, argues in this Washington Post op-ed that hundreds of businesses have taken steps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, mostly by using energy more efficiently. In so doing, they have reduced their costs and increased their profitability:
For example, six companies — IBM, DuPont, BT (British Telecom), Alcan, NorskeCanada and [...]

‘A bad case of fleas’
The act of war deliberately and thoughtlessly wounds, poisons and handicaps the life-sustaining womb of all mankind. The Earth reacts, as any living thing would, when attacked. Earthquake, tsunami, flood, tornado, hurricane, mudslide, and resulting loss of [...]

The Earth Liberation Front is “neither confirming nor denying” complicity in the Charles County, Md., arson fires. Locals speculate that the culprits might be anyone from ecoterrorists to local hunters irked about development to disgruntled contractors or even white racists mad about black families moving into the area.
“They’ve been putting racial slurs up on the [...]

Despite vehement environmentalist protests against the housing development where 26 suburan Maryland homes were torched earlier this week, authorities are telling the press that arson-happy Earth Liberation Front members are “not something we are focusing on.”
Let’s hope that’s just spin. ELF’s past record of destruction makes it an obvious investigative target. From my old friends [...]

Teenage golf phenomenon Michelle Wie shared her Deep Thoughts on global warming with Golf Digest:
Global warming is a huge problem. Al Gore talks about it all the time. Have you seen “The Day After Tomorrow”? The huge hole in the ozone layer. Something has to be done about it.”
Michelle’s vacuous eco-musings prompted a wry member [...]

Via Drudge, we learn that European scientists are trying to grow an affordable AIDS vaccine in genetically-modified plants. You might think this is good news, but not everyone thinks so. So upset are environmentalists in Europe that the crops will probably have to be grown in South Africa, where the threat of sabotage is lower. [...]
