I’ll trade you 10,000 contracts of magic beans for 3.8 trillion carbon contracts. What d’ya say?

Oh, by the way, speaking of green—meat, when it goes bad, gets greenish, and the term “green meat” has long meant something that was a little “off.”

During WWII, the enforcement of rationing in Britain led to raids where contraband meat was painted green, to render it unfit for consumption and to indicate it as such; this behavior is recorded in the Michael Palin comedy “A Private Function.”

Conservation is fine. I’m all for it, but this ‘green’ thing is too much. For example, my boyfriend needed architectural drawings for a job he’s working on. The architect said that since they have gone ‘green’ all layout drawings will be sent by email in pdf form. The trouble is, you can’t read them or print them out large enough to work on. These things have to be a couple of feet wide and long to use properly. He insisted they fedex the full printed out drawings, they resisted. Then finally they did. But what a farce and a waste of time.

Ah, he could have also extorted them to purchase the biggest frakking monitor in the world to do his job!
