I give an example in god, guns, grits and gravy of this guy who is heading green peace in europe, and so he is all about wanting to reduce co2 emissions. But in all of an audit of green peace shows he is flying from his home to lux. Boring a couple of times a month, and the output of co2 he is expending because of his jet travel is like 100 times that of the average person. And so when confronted about it, here was his answer.

Elusive, vast problem of memory and usable past. We have been talking about that for nearly two days already, havent we . I dont know if lois is still in the room.

Manufacturers are already meeting the efficiency standard. T
