Environmentally conscious individuals are buying 'carbon credits' from green marketeers. An individual purchases carbon credit or carbon offsets to ease their guilt of driving their cars, air conditioning their homes and flying in commercial jets. The theory is buying these carbon credits offsets the carbon emissions one leaves in the atmosphere as they go about their daily lives. Critics to this new 'indulgence' tax claim carbon credits do little or nothing to combat global warming or anything of value to help clean up the environment. Revenues from the sell of carbon credits are supposed to go to renewable energy resources or orgainzations actively involved in environmental causes or clean up. Somebody's cleaning up. According to a New York Times article the carbon credit market generated $100 million in sells last years.
I came up with an idea similar to the carbon credit. I'll start selling 'environmental credits'. An environmental credit eases the consumers guilt and frustration of being shamed and harassed by environmentalists for turning on a light, running an air conditioner, driving their car, disposing of garbage, watching TV, listening to CD's, or traveling to some convention 200 miles away or taking a family convention. I'm guessing 'greenies' do none of these things. I'll take the money I accumulate in selling environmental credits and put it in the bank and use it to promote a coalition of private property rights groups fighting federal and state regulations and environmentalists. When the bank account swells to $100 million dollars I'll start investing in stuff like gold, lucrative stock schemes and buying land.
Once the coalition has established itself as a land conservancy power we will seek to educate the public on the environmental land grabs and the globalist goal of starving people off their land or imposing un-voted on UNESCO regulations on American communities. Actually, we already do that on this blog, but with $100 million in the bank we could give away t-shirts and bumper stickers. Nothing says more about an individuals committment to a cause than a bumper sticker or a t-shirt.
The price of my environmental offsets are a buck apiece; $1.00. I know there's 100 million readers of this blog so I anticipate a windfall of orders in the next few days. Janet owns a printer that works and I know she will be more than happy to print out an official looking certificate of purchase for each environmental credit sold.
