Great moments in environmentalism

The state of Colorado is apparently banning the use of gasoline powered lawn equipment on public property, an initiative sponsored by the "environmentally mindless" people at "COPIRG".   As a former Colorado resident, I remember COPIRG well.  One day, they sent some people canvassing in a beat up Subaru with visible emissions....on a "red air quality" (smog) day when they could have simply taken the bus.  

Oh well, given that a lot of power in Colorado is generated using coal, I guess this fits what COPIRG has always done, mess up the air quality while preening about as if they're cleaning things up.  Sigh.

On another note, it makes sense that this "influencer" lives near the royal family, as I've noted for a while that the royals often lack a pleasure I get to enjoy all the time; the comfort of a well broken in piece of clothing.  Seriously, 500 pairs of shoes for over a hundred grand?  I calculated, even worse, that you'd need something like 100 linear feet of wall space to store all those shoes.  So unless one wants to look at nothing but sneakers in one's house, we're talking a bigger house just to house all those stinkies.

So my hearty "Bronx Cheer" to the environmentalists of the week, COPIRG and Miss Nyame.
